What did you learn in this course that was most impactful and why?

Brain-based learning emphasizes understanding how the brain processes, stores, and recalls information, which helps create more effective teaching methods. It highlights the importance of creating engaging, emotionally resonant learning environments that activate multiple brain regions. Active learning strategies, like problem-solving and hands-on activities, are shown to strengthen neural connections and improve retention. Additionally, the concept of neuroplasticity suggests that the brain can adapt and grow, meaning all learners have the potential to improve their cognitive abilities with the right support and strategies.

Two Memorable Quotes:

“Once we are empowered with the knowledge of our brains astonishing power and potential regardless of the brain, we think we were born with and how we can take control and care of our brain to achieve anything we put our minds to with our choices, thoughts, and actions! All of a sudden students believe in themselves… their mindsets and behavior changes! MAGIC HAPPENS!” (Khan Academy, 2010).

“Students consistently show higher levels of motivation when they believe their teacher cares about them personally” (Jensen & McConchie, 2020).

This YouTube video Growth Mindset by Khan Academy explains the concept of a growth mindset, which is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work, learning, and perseverance. It contrasts this with a fixed mindset, where individuals believe their abilities are static and unchangeable. The video emphasizes how adopting a growth mindset can lead to greater success, as it encourages people to embrace challenges and learn from mistakes. It also highlights the importance of effort, persistence, and resilience in the face of setbacks. By cultivating a growth mindset, individuals can improve their performance and achieve their goals, both academically and personally.

One question I still have is how specific brain-based learning strategies can be adapted for learners with diverse needs, such as those with learning disabilities or neurodiverse conditions. How can we tailor brain-based approaches to maximize engagement and retention for these individuals while ensuring inclusivity?
