Neuroscience in Education System: a simple essay

 

The implementation of neuroscience in the education system is a debate among experts. There is a view mentioned that if no more children are living under the poverty line, when all have equal access to quality education, then technological and standardized tests can be implemented throughout the country. Others see the test based on neuroscience principles as necessary to evaluate the education system. Despite the doubt or skepticism, the information obtained from the standardized test can be used to see the progress of each school.

The foremost benefit of having information on students’ academic achievement is that the policymakers and educators can evaluate all aspects or components of the education system. The data from the evaluation might be used as a basis to make some changes for future implementation. If an aspect is deemed as a factor that slows the progress down, the solution could be focused on the area. The neglectful parenting style for most children in some schools, for instance, can be solved by providing facilities and services needed in the schools.

Personalizing learning is the another advantage of standardized tests. Teachers will be encouraged to learn more about their students when they look at the various results of their students’ achievement. They may realize how the same condition of a classroom, teaching materials, strategies and approaches can lead to different outcomes on students’ learning. Teachers who sometimes design their teaching materials and strategies based on their own beliefs can try to understand any other factors that contribute to the learning process.

To put it simply, learning and testing based on neuroscience principles are worth enough to be integrated into the education system if it is for evaluation purposes. However, standardized tests are not used as an indicator of the success or failure of teachers in conducting their teaching, but all components are taken into account.

Sejarah Lahirnya dan arti kata “Kristen”

Diadaptasi dari buku “Lepas dari Belenggu” karangan Dr.Nabeel T Jabbour” Istilah “Kristen” muncul 2000 tahun yang lalu, dan telah terakumulasi maknanya selama 20 Abad.

Dalam Kisah Para Rasul, kitab yang menceritakan secara rinci kehidupan orang-orang pertama yang percaya kepada Al-Masih beberapa waktu setelah kematian-Nya, kita membaca: “mereka tinggal bersama-besama dengan   jemaat itu satu tahun lamanya, sambil mengajar banyak orang. Di Anthiokhialah murid itu untuk pertama kalinya disebut Kristen.

Kelompok orang-orang inilah yang kemudian disebut sebagai orang-orang Kristen ( Yesus atau Isa/ Al-Masih dalam bahasa Yunani dikenal sebagai “Kristus”)...

A Philosophy of Second Language Acquisition (MARYSIA JOHNSON)

The book is divided into two parts. Although several major current SLA theories and models are described and discussed in Part One, “Following the Cognitive Tradition” the purpose of this part of the book is not to introduce the reader to the fundamental principles of existing theories and models. The main purpose of Part One is to illustrate the strong cognitive and experimental bias of current SLA models and theories and to advocate the application of a new framework that would remedy this bias. Part one consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of three major scientific research traditions: behaviorism, cognitive-computational, and dialogical. Chapter 2 provides a historical overview of SLA as a scientific field. The purpose of this overview is to explain the origin of this field and to illustrate the general trend of its adherence to the rules and norms established in other scientific fields. That is, after behaviorism, SLA turned to cognitive psychology for gui...
