Learning

The human brain specializes in information processing by scanning information through the senses, processing and storing it, and retrieving it when called for. The educational psychology and the teaching/learning process perspectives recognizing the vital role of physical sensation as a starting point for human learning is key to allow processing within the brain and learning.
Humans learn the best when we are challenged and optimistic belief in success, and we learn the least when threats are presented and we feel powerless and helpless. Students experience academic and social threats and can be influenced by teachers, authority figures, and peers. The self-efficacy of students can influence if they feel challenged or threatened. Stress can also come from personal problems and family dilemmas. Students can also come to school stressed out because of family or personal problems. For a higher rate of effective learning teachers and administrators need to create a low threat and high challenge environment.
Also learning should be are thick with context. Contextual elements help get learning into the brain.
Overall, teaching should stimulate the brains natural learning processes by helping the student build meaningful, eternal memories and make connections between knowledge and skills.
