Focusing Human on Learning: A Study Based on Brain Researches
Abstract
Learning has taken important part for people’s life, since born. Effective learning depends
on individuals’ mental, emotional, social and physical development. Development of all these
areas bound up functional working of brain. Recently, examining brain effect on learning
researches are increased with developing technology. Accordingly, teachers try to transfer
these research results into learning environment. Transfering scientific researches into learning environment involves ethical responsibility for researchers and implementers. Correctly
interpreting and transfering the research evidences which explain the relationship between
brain and learning are important. In this article, the researches that explain relationship
between brain and learning in literature are analyzed and compiled. With these information
(based on literature) reccomendations have been developed for implementation.
