Understanding Learning Differences: Brain Recognition Networks

Explore how the brain recognizes and learns through content knowledge, strategic processes, and emotional significance. Discover the "what" of learning in recognition networks, the "how" in strategic networks, and the "why" in affective networks. Learn how individual differences impact learning and teaching strategies. Create a classroom learning profile to cater to diverse student needs effectively.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Brain Research & Learning Differences

  2. Recognition Networksthe “what” of learning • Represents – “knowing” the world • Building content knowledge: facts • Identify patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch

  3. Recognition • Bottom-Up • Extract visual details • Sounds • Letters by features • Top-Down • Higher-order information: background information; context, and pattern • i.e. – “phonic wars” balanced approach of whole word and phonics

  4. Differences in Recognition Brain Imaging Showing Individual Differences

  5. Strategic Networksthe “how” of learning • Strategy for cognition and learning • Identify a goal • Design a suitable plan • Execute the plan • Self-monitor • Correct or adjust actions Frontal Lobe

  6. Strategic Networks • Parallel nature of strategic process – cannot teach in isolation i.e. tennis • Top-Down Processing • Cortex to muscles: using key board • Bottom-Up Processing • Muscles to cortex

  7. Individual Differences in Strategic Networks • Motor difficulties – unable to use keyboard, to scan text, or turn pages • Speech difficulties – language challenges in oral presentations • Impulsive – difficult to self-monitor and complete tasks

  8. Affective Networksthe “why” of learning • Helps us engage in learning • Attach emotional significance to objects and emotions Limbic Lobe Frontal Lobe

  9. Individual Differences • Students preoccupied with emotional concerns have little left over for learning • Severe outside environmental factors can serve as a barrier to learning • What motivates the student: think about how a child likes to read…

  10. Implications for Teachers • Each learner is different and has his/her own strengths and weaknesses • How can we effectively acknowledge the different needs of the students? • Explore the strengths and weaknesses of the students and create a classroom learning profile to foster student success
