Generating Student Brain-Based Learning (My Summer 08 Work)
Knowing the behavior of the cognitive unconscious how can teachers both wake up students’ I-Function and initiate student learning?
When the teacher begins to operate a set of unpredictable behaviors including such things as acting in a different manner, moving oddly around the room, or speaking in a different sounding voice; the students’ I-Function will be revived. Engaging the student to participate in a set of learning Modalities, will generate learning.
.Using Discrepant Events (http://agpa.uakron.edu/k12/best_practices/discrepant_events.html) will definitely wake up the I-Functions of the students. At this point the information may be added to their cognitive unconscious but not necessarily learned.
