Brain Rules

 

Multi-sensory input better than uni-sensory

We have long known  that students who receive explanations in verbal and visual format generate 75% more creative solutions on problem-solving transfer tests than students who receive verbal explanations alone.

EIVL Teaching

Dr EvilA recent study  had one group of students watch EIVL (Embodied Interactive Video Lectures), while others watched a standard video lecture without an embodied interactive component. Participants then completed exercises testing their comprehension, retention, and cognitive load. The researchers found that the participants who watched the EIVL had significantly higher levels of lecture comprehension, and they retained this information better one week later than those who watched the standard video lecture. Of course, I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by the findings, we have known about sensory integration  for a while, but this makes for a cool way to add it to your online classes. If you are looking for ways to add embodiment into your teaching, consider these 20 hand gestures.

100 Teaching Ideas

Boomerang Teaching – When students come to you and say. ‘I need help with this. I don’t get it.’ I’m going to respond with, ‘How can you help yourself? What strategy can you use that maybe you haven’t tried yet? Where should you start, because maybe you missed the real starting point? What evidence do you have to support this?’ If they say, ‘Is this right? Should I do this this way?’ I can say, ‘Well, what evidence do you have?’ We don’t want their automatic response to a struggle to be, ‘I need help from a teacher,’ or ‘I need help from a parent.’ We want them to help themselves.”
