WHAT WE KNOW FROM NEORUSCIENCE Brain’s Executive Functions --Occurs in the prefrontal cortex -- Building new neural networks --Fastest time of growth is during school years
Vocab List All learning is not created equal --passive memorization does not create networks --learning that is not connected remains isolated and is quickly pruned
How to Make Connections Active Mental Manipulations --Organize --Prioritize --Compare/contrast --Connect to prior knowledge --Give new examples of a concept --Synthesize new learning into summaries
How to Make Connections Specifically… 1. Provide opportunities to apply learning Personally meaningful activities Formative assessmentsand feedback
How to Make Connections 2. Introduce Activities to Support Developing Executive Function Need to practice executive functions by Evaluating Doing something with information while learning or Transforming new learning into another form
How to Make Connections 3. Model Higher Thinking Skills Judgment Prioritizing Prior Knowledge Activation and Transfer Opps
How to Make Connections 4. Games/Simulations/Webquests --among most effective learning tools because of dopamine reward --ironically, harder work is the reward for mastering material --can replicate gaming experience w/o actual game
Connections toFinancial Education Research on effectiveness of financial education has been mixed: --programs may not be effective because of design or administration, OR --may be poorly evaluated
Connections toFinancial Education What works (for all age levels)? --Limited use of textbooks and greater use of activities grounded in real life --Depth vs. breadth --Integrate, integrate, integrate --horizontal and vertical integration
