In looking for meaningful learning we have to remember that it is the brain that gives us the mental models needed for understanding. When we recognize the brains role, we will be in a better place to help students grasp and master the lessons we give them. Cognitive learning is a huge subject, so expect more FLC posts on this subject as we breakdown the brains role in the process.
Until then, enjoy this 6 minute Ted Talk “teaser” on the subject of cognitive learning.
