Learning Concept Map
HET Learning Principles
Learning as a two-step process
Multiple Intelligences
Inseparable bodybrain partnership
Intelligence as a function of experience
Emotion
Stress improves learning in males but impairs learning in females.
Moderate stress improves boys performance on tests. The same stress levels in girls degrades their test performance.
Positive and negative emotions are processed differently in males and females.
Emotions in the classroom
Drives attention.
Which in turns drives learning, memory, problem-solving, and everything else.
Years of research: Learning from fear
Filters incoming sensory input, modulating what the cerebral cortex attends to, processes, and attends to.
Are processed throughout the entire brain and its structure
"Gatekeeper to learning and performance."
Movement
Has a positive influence on memory, attention, concentration and classroom behavior.
Vastly improves mental health.
The more complex the movements, the more complex the synaptic connections.
Rate of learning is directly correlated with levels of brain derived neurotropic factor. Levels rise as the amount of exercise increases.
Brain Research
Is crucial to every brain function including planning and executing plans, memory, emotion, language, and learning.
Higher brain functions have evolved from movement and still depend on it.
Movement is very important to the very existence of a brain.
Enhances learning.
