"Unfolding the Blackbox and Embracing the Universe?" How assertive or rhetorical it may sound to you when you think that this is all about the human brain. But I must confess it exactly fits how I feel about it. Just imagine how little we know about how we think, how we learn, how we remember, how we forget or even how we love. The human brain is still a blackbox or a mystery to us with its limitless potentials. It's estimated that we use less than 1% of 1% of our brain's projected processing capacity (It's not a repetition - that's the correct ratio). What does it mean? That capacity - that number far exceeds the number of known particles in the universe...How amazing it is!!! A universe within us...What I've learned from the brain research made me understand how the brain learns best and it's no longer a black box. At least I began to leave the doors ajar and I encountered a brain with an amazing system on its own...
I'd like to share with you what extend brain-based learning has changed my teaching view as a teacher. I realize that we're doing harm to ourselves by imposing our learners brain-unfriendly educational techniques and policies. The world has a lot of problems today and educational policies should be reorganized to produce good problem solvers. If we educate them in a brain-friendly way, then, they'll be able to not only cope with these problems, but solve them as well...
