Human learning is inspired with the purposes and feelings of individuals who seek conscious, in-the-moment cooperation. It is social and co-created through mutual attunement of the movements of body and mind. In school, the interested learner needs to be encouraged by a skilled teacher sensitive to the rhythms of the child’s friendly, open vitality. They co-create shared projects in play, with movement and language, developing meaning and learning in sympathetic collaboration. From infancy, projects of imagination are expressed by the body and voice with the creative forms of 'communicative musicality' – gestural narratives created in rhythms of movement, felt, seen and heard. They anticipate being responded to with love and care. Learning within these embodied narratives incorporates affective, energetic, and intentional components to produce schemas of engagement that structure knowledge, and become meaningful habits held in memory. The rituals of culture and technical skills develop from the psycho-motor structure of human nature, with its vital impulses of thought-in-action that express an integrated, imaginative, and sociable Self.

In this paper, we investigated the learning ability of students in normal versus virtual reality (VR) watching of videos by mathematical analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We played six videos in the 2D and 3D modes for nine subjects and calculated the Shannon entropy of recorded EEG signals to investigate how much their embedded information changes between these modes. We also calculated the Hurst exponent of EEG signals to compare the changes in the memory of signals. The analysis results showed that watching the videos in a VR condition causes greater information and memory in EEG signals. A strong correlation was obtained between the increment of information and memory of EEG signals. These increments also have been verified based on the answers that subjects gave to the questions about the content of videos. Therefore, we can say that when subjects watch a video in a VR condition, more information is transferred to their brains that cause increments in their memory.

Every year millions of people die trapped in hunger, disease, extreme poverty, political violence,and natural disasters. Joseph Short, the former director of Oxfam America, introduces the concept of development education as a response to what he calls the "morally unacceptable fact of poverty, inequality, and human misery amidst the plentiful resources of the world."Oxfam America works in partnership with organizations in the Third Word to improve living conditions while promoting community consciousness-raising. Its guiding philosophy, financially independent character, and strong commitment to development have made Oxfam America a vivid example of an alternative approach to traditional development patterns.

Traditional Paradigm

BACKGROUND: How to reconnect the disengaged learners has been a major challenge for human learning. Motivating the disengaged learners through traditional interventions has not been effective. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to examine whether feedback from an external unit would be more persuasive for the disengaged learners. The perception on a lack of learning stems from poor attitude of learning, poor behavior, laziness, and lack of learning ability and attention. METHODS: A foreign business community has collaborated with two Bangkok Metropolitan Administration schools since 2016 on creating constructive and indirect feedback. There were 337 students from both schools participated in the survey. 163 students participated in the revised practices while 174 students attended the traditional practices. RESULTS: The results show the gap between the two groups on the effects from constructive and indirect feedback. The disengaged students from the revised pedagogy show that they are attracted to constructive feedback and indirect feedback more. CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that, unlike the traditional paradigm, the disengaged students are perceptive to external feedback. The findings show some consistency with previous studies. Integrating external feedback can attract the attention from the disengaged students which could potentially contribute to human learning.

The first steps in bilingual education are often taken in schools by introducing CLIL modules in content subjects. The present study is a longitudinal mixed methods study that explores the perspectives of all relevant stakeholders as well as the learning and teaching perspective at a German primary school that has introduced English CLIL modules. Data was gathered from questionnaires with parents after a year of CLIL instruction (n=120), learner questionnaires (n=240), teacher interviews (n=7), transcribed lessons, as well as parts of a large-scale test that was used for learners at the end of year 4 (n=63), which is the end of primary school in the German context. The data were triangulated in order to make inferences about the perspectives of the different stakeholders in a teaching development process that affects the entire school.

The Individual

This chapter presents how interaction with the social world stimulates the learning ability in the early years. There are two types of social relationships that affect the development of the individual in childhood: adult-child relationships and peers. Both social systems give rise to different vital experiences that will influence their social development. During the first years of age, the adults who surround, care for, and provide support help acquire a fundamental role in the social development of the child. Attachment between the child and family, parental educational styles, and family discipline become basic elements of analysis. Peer relationships are transformed with the entrance to preschool. The school environment is the second stage of life in common. This chapter analyzes the learning process of children and the influence of the most important developmental contexts such as family, peers, and teachers in this process.

This paper proposes a skill assist technique without having the operator to be aware of it. Heretofore, many operation assists in a human-machine system has added artificial force in human operation input such as reactive force from obstacles. Such an approach is suitable in a particular task as simulated by the designer, because it can improve safety and efficiency, but is simultaneously hindering human learning ability. The proposed method will correct the machine dynamics of the operation subject subliminally, meaning that the operator will not be aware that it is being altered. Henceforth, it will be possible to enhance operability, without having to prevent the human learning ability. As a result of a verification experiment on 20 test subjects, it has been clarified that it is possible to enhance the operation performance without the operators knowing of the assist.

Improving Student Learning

Current and emerging research on human learning provides a platform for the development of guiding principles of pedagogy aimed at improving student learning outcomes and the development of a life-long learning culture. This chapter will explore the implications of contemporary research on human learning for pedagogical practice. However what is clear for a high quality and future-oriented educational discourse, is the need, actively and continuously, to draw upon, synthesize and refine the rich array of insights available from this rapidly growing body of research. This chapter describes briefly the key learning theories often cited in educational research. These are grouped in broad categories according to their ideas of how learning occurs. Many of these theories are complementary, and can be applied equally to student learners and to teachers as learners. This chapter outlines various factors that researchers believe affect learning. Our developing knowledge of the human body, mind, emotions and social behaviors help us to understand better both learning and teaching.
