Dr. David Sousa
Educational Neuroscience (Mind, Brain, and Education)
Educational Neuroscience (Mind, Brain, and Education)
Teaching is the only profession whose job it is to change the human brain every single day.
Teachers are brain-changers!
Memory Systems - working memory, long term memory; 5-7 chunks; 3-4 chunks today (technology at fault?); Kids learning where to find info, not the info itself. Keep info within working memory limits - less is more
Emotions - Learning takes place in the emotional part of the brain. Make emotion connections between students and content; Students/parents/etc want teachers to be caring. Emotional needs not being met at home anymore;
Language acquisition - 3-10 yr olds; more boys get visual, spatial, temporal skills faster and easier than young girls; young girls get spoken language skills faster and easier; of course boys will be below bar for language; same vice versa for spatial testing
Learning to read - No reading areas of the brain; other parts of brain must be brought in. 'reading problem' is misnomer and no way to fix it. visual processing (see the word), Auditory, cognitive processing; "what do i see; what do i hear; what does it mean?" phonemic awareness (ear buds - damage to ears); Phonics (code/sounds-letters); vocabulary (comprehension); fluency (practice); pick the best parts of various programs to build a cohesive program
Attention - Attention span has not changed but demands on attention have. Brain does not multitask. Alternate tasking or sequential tasking; always a loss when you 'multitask.' Get distractions out if there is something you must do. always a loss when try to focus on multiple things.
Learning math - number sense is innate capability; symbol processing, visual processing, language processing; vocabulary may actually be the reason for limited math skills; show how math applies to society and other disciplines;
Power of the arts - every culture has had music, art and dance! STEM should be STEAM! enhance spatial skills; arts helps us to keep with it; go back, try again.
creativity can be taught!
