Left and right side of the brain
The human brain is divided into two distinct hemispheres; The left and the right hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. It is controls activities that have to do with creativity and arts. The left side of the brain is responsible for controlling the right side of the body. It also performs tasks that have to do with logic, such as in science and mathematics. Both
hemispheres are connected and serve the body in different ways.
Understanding how we learn and process information is valuable for both learners and educators but unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this book. For further reading see this link; Techniques For Right and Left Brain Learning
Some Facts you should know about the brain and learning
1. We Learn More When It’s Visual
Much part of our brain is directly related to processing visual information. we pay special attention to anything we see that’s moving. So pictures and animations are your best friends when it comes to learning. Include much drawings, photos, flash cards into your notes.
2. We Remember the Big Picture Better Than the Details
Learning lots of new concepts can lead to much confusion as the brain tries to organize it. Keep a large diagram or summarized page of notes that explains the big picture of what you’re learning and add to it each major concept you learn along the way.
3. Sleep Largely Affects Learning and Memory and Lack of Sleep can Reduce ability to Learn New Information
Studies have shown that a night of sleep in-between learning something new and being tested on it can significantly improve performance. Sleep deprivation can cut your brain’s ability to take in new information by almost 40%. Give yourself enough sleep during exam periods.
4. We Learn Best by Teaching Others
In teaching other people what we’re learning, we take in new information better. We organize it better in our minds, remember it more correctly, and we’re better at remembering the most important parts of what we’ve learned.
Keep a notebook or blog where you write about what you’ve learned. Write about each new concept you learn as if it’s a lesson for others.
