This investigation was undertaken to look at the philosophical and biological foundation of brain based learning through phenomenological approach. Subjective method of investigation was used. Interviews were taken through semi-structures procedure in which 12 instructors were involved as a sample. Two topics of the examination were assessed and it was discovered that authenticity, optimism, realism, dualism, naturalism, cognizant and oblivious part of cerebrum and constructivism were straightforwardly related with brain oriented learning approach. Correspondingly, Brain is not organically comprehended by the educator completely in light of the fact because cerebrum discovery is tranquil as a young ground of teaching learning process. Instructor have been rehearsing cerebrum based adapting normally yet they are not ready to express a reasonable balanced for their activity yet the educators still practice the mind based adapting adequately. Keywords:  Brain-Based Learning, Philosophical and Biological Foundation, Phenomenological Study

Learning strategies are the key tools to determine the approach for achieving the learning goal. They are included in different phases of teaching learning process. They are usually tied to the needs and interests of students to enhance their learning efficiency. This article aims at exploring perspectives and practices of learning strategies in learning English language. For this, phenomenological descriptive qualitative research was conducted with a class of 48 students of Bachelor in Education at a constituent campus, under Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Both the class of the students and campus were selected purposively to meet the requirement of phenomenological study. Thirty classes were observed as a participant as well as teacher and from the same group of the students only ten students were interviewed. Then, the data from both the sources were triangulated, interpreted and analyzed descriptively. From this study, it was interpreted that students employed various strategies to learn different language skills and aspects. The study revealed that students felt difficulty in selecting proper learning strategy for learning grammatical rules due to many exceptional cases and listening skill due to their less time devotion on it while the felt ease to select and employ proper strategies in learning vocabulary.

This article aims to explain an analysis of cooperative learning approach advantages in teaching writing. Accordingly, learning writing by using cooperative learning makes the students easier in developing the ideas to write. This approach is more than just putting students into groups, but the students can work together, share information, and they are responsible for completion of the tasks in group as well. Besides, in this approach, the students can transfer their information and knowledge to the others and help each other in getting the ideas to develop in written communication during teaching-learning process.

The current study focuses on the identification of the observable signals of motivation as perceived by the language teachers in the teaching-learning process. This phenomenon is worth studying as it can open new dimensions for conducting research on motivation and engagement in the field of applied linguistics. It can be very helpful for teachers in assessing their students’ motivation. Data was collected for this phenomenological study through questionnaire, interviews, and focus group discussion. The sample consisted of twenty-six English language teachers. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The observable signals of motivation were categorized in the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive domains. The results identified that ‘asking probing questions’, ‘eye contact’, ‘asking for extra resources’, ‘loving and respecting teachers’, ‘coming on time’, ‘completing classroom tasks quickly’, ‘enjoying group activities’, and ‘suggesting topics to teachers’ comprised the observable signals of motivation. The majority of the teachers agreed on observing most of these signals. Teachers can use these signals to assess the motivation of their learners and future researchers can use the findings of this research for conducting further research.

Technology has changed the conventional way of teaching and learning. Teaching with technology can deepen student learning by supporting instructional objectives. However, technology could be a distraction for students if they do not use it wisely. In addition, the emergence of new educational technologies has led to a need change teachers roles. This qualitative research study employed a phenomenological approach to focus on teachers’ views and perspectives on using technology in their teaching and learning. Eight full time elementary and secondary teachers in an international school attend in in-depth, semi-structural interviews. The data were analyzed using phenomenological analysis. Findings were coded into four categories: teacher concerns, teacher’s roles, teachers’ perspective, and implementation. Instructional maintenance, inequalities, filtration of information, teachers’ readiness and need for training have been identified as teacher concerns. Guider, facilitator, assessor and moderator were teachers’ roles in international school. Finally, the reason for implementing technology in schools was beneficial and effectiveness of integrating technology in classroom teaching. The research showed that teachers who are slightly younger often use the technology in teaching and learning more than the older teachers do.

In a teaching and learning process, the mastery of mathematics would support students in learning physics. The aim of the research is to analyse the difficulties of physics teachers’ in conducting teaching and learning process that demands the requirements of mathematical concepts in senior high schools. The research was a qualitative research using phenomenological approach. The data were collected through focus group discussion (FGD) that involved 15 teachers from public and private senior high schools in the Kudus Regency, the Province of Central Java, Indonesia. The analysis was conducted by applying the Bogdan & Biklen model. The results of the research showed several findings if there had been problems of un-synchronism in the material orders of mathematics and physics that hindered the teaching and learning process. The strategies that physics teachers had applied individually are teaching mathematics materials as prerequisite first and making module collaboratively. The new arrangement of teaching and learning materials in mathematics and physics are needed to cover the problems. Keywords: mathematics mastery, physics teaching, learning process, difficulties and strategies.

Mathematics is one of the subjects which is learned at all levels of education. Ithappens because mathematics is used and needed in every aspect human activity. One of theabilities students must possess is the ability to solve problems. Facts in Indonesia show thatstudents' mathematical problem-solving abilities at both secondary and tertiary educationlevels are still not high. From previous studies reported that only 35% of students had problemsolvingskills, 25% of students were able to design completion plans and 20% of students hadthe ability to solve problems. The remaining 20% are students who have the ability to lookback at the completion steps. Looking at the research reports above, the teachers are expectedto choose the right strategy to be used in carrying out the learning process in the classroom sothat the goals that have been written in the teaching plan can be achieved. A learning modelcalled "Everyone is a Teacher Here (ETH)" is an alternative learning to improve students'mathematical problem solving abilities. The ETH Learning Model provides opportunities forall students to act as "instructors" to their peers or in other words "peer tutors". Anotheralternative learning that can be used to improve students' mathematical problem solving skillsis the Quantum Teaching learning approach. The Quantum Teaching Approach can givestudents an active learning that stimulates the student's brain so that learning can runoptimally. This Quantum Teaching Approach has an activity framework in the form of Grow,Experience, Name, Demonstrate, Repeat, and Celebrate.
