Brain Based Learning

When educational neuroscience emerged in the latter decade of the 20th century, it completely transformed the area of education and presented a slew of new difficulties to educators, scholars, and intellectuals. The study's goals were to 1) ascertain secondary school students' conceptions about brain-based learning 2) assess students' awareness of neurotheological practices. It was a descriptive study, and the study sample consisted of all public secondary school students, and250 students were chosen at random from the study population. The researchers developed a questionnaire after reading relevant literature. The study indicated that emotions influence decision-making, fostering creativity and uniqueness, so it concluded that a suitable classroom/institution environment makes students feel like active learners. The study may suggest that teachers create a favorable learning environment for better learning, and it may also recommend that students offer prayer five times daily to relax their brains and improve learning and creativity.

Literacy Test

Reading literacy has become global concern that Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has conducted Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) reading literacy test to assess what students know and can do in reading. Participating in PISA test since 2000, Indonesian students’ reading literacy has not shown a significant improvement. Because PISA reading literacy test is adapted into language of instruction of each participating country, it is Indonesian students’ reading literacy in Indonesian language which is not satisfactory. Considering the fact that Indonesian fifteen-year-old students study English as a compulsory subject, investigating students’ reading literacy in English is considered important. There has been much research investigating issues in reading achievement in Indonesia, but there are limited studies focussing on PISA reading literacy based on school location, school accreditation, gender, and academic major. Employing survey study design, this study assessed reading literacy of two thousand and two hundred secondary school students sampled from twenty four public secondary schools accredited A+, A, and B in Palembang. Data were obtained using PISA reading literacy test 2009 and were analysed statistically. The findings revealed that students’ English literacy was in level 3 (low category). Students studied at schools in central urban district performed better than those of in peri urban district. Those from secondary schools accredited A+ outperformed their counterparts in schools accredited A and B. Female students performed slightly better than male. Students majoring in science were better than those of majoring in social. The results lead to the conclusion that students’ English literacy achievement should be enhanced using innovating strategies to achieve targeted literacy level that is needed to survive in school academic life.

Several studies were made of the degree to which free recall of meaningful information is a function of the perceived linking and ordering of the information. Substantive result: information in sentences that are perceived to be linked and ordered is recalled better than information in sentences that are perceived to be unrelated; this effect is greater than can be accounted for by simple cueing through associations between constituent words. Methodological recommendation: to ensure that participants in a study process information into semantic memory, they should be required to write an answer to a question about the information; oral answers are insufficient. Clinical observation: some secondary school students follow a marked strategy of storing information verbatim; they appear to be inferior at recalling.

En este trabajo se lleva a cabo un estudio exploratorio de las creencias de los estudiantes de secundaria de distintos niveles académicos sobre la construcción y naturaleza de la ciencia y de los modelos científicos. Se cumplimentó un cuestionario cuyos ítems están vinculados tanto a la naturaleza, elaboración y validación del conocimiento científico, como a la naturaleza, función, formulación y validación de los modelos científicos. Participaron 216 estudiantes de ESO y Bachillerato (entre 12 y 18 años). De las puntuaciones medias obtenidas por los estudiantes y del ANOVA efectuado puede concluirse que: a) los conocimientos sobre la construcción y naturaleza de la ciencia y de los modelos científicos no son los más adecuados epistemológicamente y no se alteran con la formación académica; b) las ideas sobre modelos científicos son significativamente mejores que en el caso de la construcción del conocimiento científico, independientemente del curso que se trate; y c) sobrevaloran la observación y la experimentación en los procesos de construcción del conocimiento científico. This exploratory study examines the beliefs of secondary school students at different academic levels regarding the construction and nature of scientific knowledge and scientific models. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to 151 secondary school students in grades 8-12 (ages 12-18). Items included in the questionnaire relate both to nature, elaboration and validation of scientific knowledge and to nature, role, formulation and validation of scientific models. Based on the scores obtained by students and the analyses of variance undertaken, it can be concluded that: a) students' knowledge about the nature of science and scientific models is not epistemologically appropriate and does not improve the higher academic level is; b) students' ideas about scientific models are significantly better than ideas about the construction of scientific knowledge, regardless of academic level; and c) students tend to overvalue the role of observation and experimentation in the processes of scientific knowledge construction.

The human brain is limited by its capacity and incapable of memorizing all information. The memory system evolved to give preference to memory information related to maintaining and increasing individual fitness. We have chosen fungi, a heavily neglected area in science education research, to investigate which kind of information about mushrooms will be better retained by secondary school students. Furthermore, we investigated whether information about mushroom toxicity is better retained when presented only orally or in combination with a written text. The research sample consisted of 160 secondary school students from Slovakia. Pretest/posttest experimental between-subject and within-subject design was used to examine research questions. Data were collected through questionnaires (using a Likert response scale). We found that survival-relevant information (i.e., mushroom toxicity) was retained significantly better than survival-irrelevant information (i.e., mushroom naming and occurrence), but there were no differences in recall between the presentation conditions. Unexpectedly, male students retained information about mushroom toxicity significantly better than female students. Our results suggest that information retention by secondary school students in regard to mushrooms that cause serious poisoning is in accordance with evolutionary predictions and can be utilized by science teachers.

This experimental research is evaluated the significance of Yoga on Memory of Secondary School Students, aged between 13 and 17 years. Pretest-posttest of control and experimental groups are designed for this study. The total seventy students were included equally in both control and experimental groups. Before the experiment the researcher administered a pretest for measuring memory of the total seventy students which was measured through in terms of number of trials using Instructional Manual for Memory Drum ( Dr. Vivek Bhargava, Chairman, Harprasad Institute of Behavioural Studies, 41-12, Hardeep Enclave, Sikandra. AGRA(U.P.). And the same test was administered as post –test for both groups. The significance was measured through in terms of number of trials. To remove the difference statistically in the initial status of the two groups, the researcher analyzed the data with the statistical technique of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Thus both groups initial status had been equated. The main findings of the experimental study proved that the regular yoga practicing students develop the homeostasis of persons in a balanced manner. It helps to attain the complete self-realization. This study reveals that Yoga will assist to improve the students’ memory in a magnificent level. So, Yoga should be practiced for students in the schools of Kerala. Through yoga the students’ memory has increased.
