Brain Based Teaching Model as Transformation of Learning Paradigm in Higher Education

Abstract

Brain-based teaching model is a new paradigm that can facilitate students in optimizing student learning by the functioning the brain as a whole. Lessons are held today assume that all students equally so that learning provide the same services to each student in the class. With this model, the students are given different stimulation according to their abilities and needs. Base on brain learning theory-based teaching, the learning should pay attention to the five needs of the brain in general. The fifth factor is the need for a sense of comfort, the need for interaction, the need for knowledge, the need for the activity and the need for self-reflection. All these needs will be connected if the lecturers able to present emotional learning, social learning, cognitive learning, physical learning and teaching reflection.

The interaction between brain-based learning strategies and patterns of infographics and its influence on the development of information concepts among Saudi undergraduate cybersecurity students

“…The results presented in Figures 7 and 8 are consistent with Erol and Karaduman (2018) who found that brain-based learning raised the efficiency of students with difficulties in numerical cognition and that Graphic design has a positive effect on the cognitive achievement and skill performance of secondary school students. Also, Sesmiarni (2015) and Solomon (2020) concluded that brain-based learning helped in acquiring students' higher-order thinking skills, writing skills, and develop students' creativity, due to the optimal use of diverse learning materials compatible with the brain, and significantly improved students' academic participation, and enhanced their ability to critical thinking. The results are in line with Johnson and Mayer (2009) who found that infographics increased academic achievement and helped acquire visual thinking skills and increased willingness to learn on university students, distinguish and perceive visual objects, improve writing, comprehension and retention, and enhance information comprehension speed.…”

“…Brain-based learning strategies help enrich teaching and learning processes and provide an adaptive learning environment by focusing on attention, memory, motivation, the way information is presented, and ways of acquiring conceptual knowledge. Instructional environments and strategies based on brain-based learning are also characterized by the diversity of digital learning resources, sharing of information, obtaining immediate feedback that learners need, as well as developing thinking and creativity skills (Sesmiarni, 2015). Brain-based learning strategies allow the learner to reduce memory loss as well as improve basic learning ability by directly enhancing basic learning processes in the brain.…”

Impact of Whole Brain Teaching Based Instruction on Academic Performance of Grade 8 Students in Algebra: Compendium of WBT-Based Lesson Plans

“…Brain based learning is a new pedagogy that maximizes students' brain capacity for emotional, social, cognitive, physical and reflective learning (Sesmiarni, 2015). Teachers should use brain-based instructional activities that are proven to increase students' capacity to gather and store knowledge (Sanchez, 2017) and increase students' academic performance (Sousa, 2008;Adebayo, 2005;Lucas, 2004;Lackney, 2003, cited in Awolola, 2011.…”
