PowerPoint Brain
More movement in learning – school and adult education in the past 20 years brain research has provided more insights than ever before in human history. Latest neuroscientific findings show that movement has a positive effect on brain activity. Who moves, has more from life! Mens sana in corpere sano – a healthy mind in a healthy body. Movement builds up energy in the body brings oxygen to the brain increases the efficiency of lifts the spirit fun recessed fitting on the subject of the learning content encouraging motivation it all has been proven and is known. But: Why is the reality in most classrooms and seminar rooms designed not after? Why is so little about in schools and in adult education can be thinking, how learning and movement implemented in the classroom? On the one hand brain and mind, on the other side of body and soul – that belongs together and must not be separated even in the learning. If we look back on our own learning biography, then we remember, that learning had to do with movement, but sit with remain”.
The immobilization was carried out no later than in elementary school. Sitting still for the purpose of learning, was the motto. Get more background information with materials from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. And the sitting still and listening to the entire school career at the University, in education, in vocational training pursued us then. It not worked with learning in the seats you simply continue remained sitting. Therefore it is probably also stay”, or? Later in the job you then attends meetings, sits out problems or allows PowerPoint presentations sitting in darkened rooms about fare. I once read: “PowerPoint is supervised reading” – this is true it probably the point.
But support is not sufficient, I think. To impart learning only in the sitting or to absorb – it far too little has changed since my own schooldays. I ask myself: what is there with the learner at all? How much is kept? Why are you Ways to improve the loading holding power not exhausted in the learning of adults the aspect of movement was long ignored. But even in adult learning and movement are closely linked. Current results from brain – research learning and revive that the brain learns easier, better and more sustainable when movement in the game. It must be not the great sport activity or the outdoor experiential event. Just stand up, change the place or the area, form groups, offer Energieaufbaktivitaten, BrainGym exercises build up u.v.m… all is movement, which stimulates thinking and positive influence on the mood. Who learns for life, must constantly expand his knowledge and update to stay informed for example in the profession. This is effective learning in the foreground. Frontal teaching can not manage to improve the learning performance. With motion and inserting as many senses, it is possible to improve learning performance. In my opinion only the action and erlebnisoriente learning can have a future. The teacher is facilitator and consultant who creates the best conditions in the classroom, to facilitate the learning of his students and course participants. A way is that there are more Gehungen instead of sessions and the learning curve is not only served but it goes ahead with the education – in the truest sense of the word!
