Learning is a brain function; when we do it in ways our brain would receive it at best, we get the best results.
Brain-based learning is varied teaching methods, lesson designs, and education programs based on scientific research about how the brain learns. This is usually drawn on the principles of brain-based learning and key factors like cognitive development in students.
Here are a few videos that'll help you better understand brain-based learning.
