This weeks readings were difficult to follow. But upon completing our additional assignments and reading more research about how we learn I have started to understand the whole concept a little more. I am looking forward to progressing as we move forward.
On journal that I found to be very helpful is from Johns Hopkins University School of Education. Dr. Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa, Ph.D. wrote a journal article on "Why Mind, Brain, and Education Scienceis the "New" Brain-Based Education". Dr. Tokohuma-Espinosa talks about how as teachers you need to be aware of the challenges you face on understanding the science of learning. There are three factors she discusses Education>>Psychology>>Neuroscience. She states, "We need teachers who know about the brain and how it learns best, and we need neuroscientists and psychologists who can envision the application of their work in school settings." http://education.jhu.edu/newhorizons/Journals/Winter2011/Tokuhama1
Another site I came across Center for Teaching Excellence. On this site there are links to additional sites that pertain to Active Learning>>Problem-Based Learning. All of the sites are very helpful in understanding problem-based learning. http://cte.umdnj.edu/active_learning/active_pbl.cfm
