Download or read book Increasing Student Achievement Through Brain Based Strategies written by Amanda Pociask and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The students targeted were third and fourth grade students with learning-disabilities and seventh-eighth grade science students who exhibited poor test scores, motivation, and behaviors that negatively impacted their learning. The objective of this study was to change the level of student engagement in order to increase their academic achievement by incorporating Multiple Intelligences strategies into daily lessons. The study took place from September 2006 to January 2007. The purpose of the study was to determine if incorporating multiple intelligences would help raise test scores and improve student behaviors. Data was collected through observation checklists, parent surveys, and Multiple Intelligence (MI) surveys as both pre- and post-intervention measurement tools. Students completed reflective journal entries over seven weeks to help identify their multiple intelligence strengths and how those affect their learning. Collated data is illustrated through graphs throughout the paper followed by narrative analysis. The two teacher researchers in this project found students to be more engaged in the learning process as a result of the strategies introduced in their classrooms. This research indicated that incorporating MI into daily lesson improved students' self esteem, increased retention rates, enhanced motivation for learning, and decreased incidences of off-task behaviors. Students appeared to be more focused and engaged on assessments at the end of the study as a result of the use of various MI strategies. Students' learning experiences would be greatly enhanced if teachers taught to multiple student intelligences and incorporated alternative assessments. Appended are: (1) Observation Checklist; (2) Parent Survey; (3) Reflective Journal; (4) Learning Style Survey; and (5) Multiple Intelligence Survey. (Contains 11 tables.)

This book was released on 2007 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brain-based learning strategies were used to assist fourth grade students in a Title I, urban school to memorize multiplications facts from two to nine. This study took six months to complete. The numerous strategies used included, looking at the facts, listening to music, singing a song, moving arms in a crisscross motion across the chest, and having a relaxed classroom setting. Several times weekly students practiced math facts, took a test on 50 multiples in two minutes, and graded them for immediate results. The outcome of the study revealed significant documented growth and retention in students' abilities to complete 50 math facts in two minutes and have positive attitudes toward math."--leaf 4.

Download or read book Brain Activation in the Classroom written by Brian Pack and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For beginning and veteran instructors, Brain Activation in the Classroom is designed to elevate attentiveness and comprehension in the classroom. Every second, an astounding one million neural connections are made through parental nurturing and the sensory world. However, children are bombarded by the digital and media-driven culture that affects their concentration in school. Neuroscientists report that television and online stimuli impact the development of executive functions, influencing the dopamine and oxytocin chemistry in the brain's memory and emotion sectors. Brain Activation in the Classroom examines a spectrum of validating activities that enhance student academic focus in the Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and iPhone era. Furthermore, America needs to improve, as thirty-four percent of the 2.1 million students that took the ACT in 2016 did not meet college-readiness benchmarks in all four disciplines: English, Reading, Math, and Science! In a career encompassing urban and private venues, Brian Pack explains how arousing the brain's reward circuitry incentifies students, bolsters classroom attentiveness, amplifies recall, and fosters inquiry and analysis. He couples personal anecdotes and institutional studies to outline methods such as teacher modeling, student-led discussions, collaborations, projects, and a host of cognitive-enhancing practices that can be incorporated in every classroom. This is very impressive and right on the mark, super informative and intriguing. This presentation and program can go a long, long way in reforming education and bringing schooling into the 21st century. Michael Koren, National Council of Social Studies Teacher of the Year This is an excellent resource for teachers who wish to invigorate the learning experience and make their classrooms an interesting place where students thrive rather than merely endure the class. The special stress on active learning encourages students to take control of their education and promotes a stronger and more rewarding learning dynamic. Christopher Chan, Professor of English Studies, Marquette University Very impressive work. Solidly based with research studies yet exceptionally well-written in an easy to read, conversational style. It is an excellent book, thoughtful, thought-provoking. Bob Sylwester, Professor Emeritus Educational Psychology, The University of Oregon Energy and commitment to this book, the research and scholarly references, as well as the fine quality of the writing style are beyond those of a single or even dual discipline author. An amazing work across disciplines (science, education, language). Carolyn Stephens, Emeritus Professor English and Literature, Concordia University Wisconsin This is quite developed. I love the stories of success in the classroom with this innovative teaching style, followed up with basic or applied science that justifies the highlighted pedagogy. Very exciting and well-produced. It's fascinating that good learning goes hand in hand with "pleasure." All the more relevant this notion is for youth. James Topitzes, Associate Professor Social Work, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
