Nervous system

Submitted by GMH on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 1:27pm.

The notion of S-R explaination of the function of the nervous system being outmoded is encouraging. The input -output paradigm seems much more useful to educators as it applies to student learning.

If the brain is wired for exploration ( which makes a lot of sense) why are most classrooms designed with students sitting in desks devoid of movement? Classroom management is one of the fine tuned skills teacherrs must work on daily. I wonder how to incorporate more active engagement with students in a social context to more produtively exchange information between the conscious and unconscious processes.

I also wonder how this information about the nervous system impacts on  curriculum areas other than science?
