Thinking Skills: Brain-Based Approaches
Recent research into the workings of the brain is inspiring classroom techniques that utilise integrated thinking and learning techniques.
In March 2004, author Tony Buzan hosted a day of workshops and seminars which introduced staff and children at a Kent school to whole-brain accelerated learning techniques.
This programme discusses these multi-sensory approaches and returns six months later to find out how teachers and pupils from Charing School near Ashford were inspired.
Later, Year 6 teacher Anne Plummeridge discusses the versatility of Mind Mapping, a technique for recording information and generating new ideas. Headteacher Rosemary Olley explains the benefits of a cross-curricular approach, which seems to reflect the associative way in which the brain works. An educational neuroscientist discusses some of the foundations of multi-sensory pedagogies.
This programme discusses:
- Implementing whole-brain learning techniques in the classroom
- Using Mind Mapping as a brainstorming tool

Brain Based Learning Clip17 March 2008 - 13:56
I felt this was a bit disappointing- the Itchy Knee How to count to 10 in Japanese is REALLY old hat- what interests me is why trainers haven't made up their own stuff -(I have!) - If these techniques work so well, why aren;t there thousands of examoples out there> Multi sensory learning is nothing new- so it shouldn;t be sold as that.
However, 80% of children still report that their lessons (especially in secondary ed.) are dull with the teacher talking & the pupis, listening or writing.
Wonder why>?!

Here in New Zealand we are working on Brain Based learning with fantastic success. Well done for putting the passion back into teaching! Successful people make mistakes 70% of the time! I am a UK trained teacher who now lives in NZ. I thought your video was great. Thank you.
