Throughout history, many people had no idea that many living creatures had brains. With notable advances in technology and thanks to the human ability to take photos of the human brain through head scans, scientists have discovered and mapped the human brain. As neuroscientists understand how the brain works, the discovery of brain-based learning has been a growing field ever since. Education is extremely important for human beings because the more educated we are as a society, the better we contribute to society. Knowledge is extremely powerful, and as a future educator, understanding how the brain works and developing lesson plans surrounding the inner workings of the brain will allow learning to manifest in the classroom. In Brain-Based Learning (2008) by Eric Jensen several important parts divide numerous chapters with the intention of exploring educators' understanding of key principles of learning. Three parts of the text discuss the physiological effects, sensory contributions, and neuroscientific perspective of the human brain. The final part discusses brain compatibility in the classroom. The three concepts from Jensen's text that I will use in my classroom come from the three discussed parts of the human brain and these are the impact of physical movement on the brain, incorporating all the senses into the classroom, and giving meaning to students. Physical movement is extremely important in the classroom. I am a tactile learner, so through movement I am able to learn better. For example, when I am given directions to a new place, the movement of the car and myself allows me to remember how to get to that destination again at a later time. “An active body improves an active mind. Students who are active...... half of the document ...... Zone of Proximal Development theory and use the classroom from top to bottom. Our brains are highly developed as human beings and in today's world we need to provide students with meaningful learning that provides critical thinking skills, creative thinking, ingenuity and talent. Brain-based learning with a mix of constructivism is what my classroom will look like. By combining these two theories I believe that an individual's psychology and physiology will be able to shine through their ability to learn. “Instead of placing an emphasis on memorization and recall, it may be smarter and more efficient to place more emphasis on the context in which something is learned” (Jensen, 2008, p. 165).
