5 Stars Brain based Learning
This is a text book I ordered for my classes for teacher certification. This book is very easy to read, and I am really enjoying it. It presents info and then at the end of a section, recaptures the essence of the reading for you. I would suggest it for any teaching class. I am learning so much from this book. I have been buying all my text books from Amazon because they are so much cheaper, and sometimes I can get free shipping. So far, there has not been a book that I could not find here at Amazon.
1 Star Multilevel marketing meets education
I had to purchase this book for a community college class I’m taking. As a “textbook,” it has been a complete disappointment. The “science” is sketchy, the research is shoddy, and the huge holes in logic are brushed over with explanations like “you can’t prove nearly anything empirically in education” (straight from page 8!). Some of the concepts presented are interesting, but since Mr. Jensen (no, he doesn’t hold a doctorate) provides almost no citations for his claims, there is no way to check his assertions or determine where the theories come from. The book reads like a multilevel marketing sales pitch. In fact, you are encouraged to share it with your friends and colleagues and are directed to a website where you could empty your bank account getting “certified” in Mr. Jensen’s unique, “empirically unproven” techniques.
5 Stars Every teacher should read
Great book!!! It explains the way our brain learn and how teachers can teach effectively.
5 Stars “Brain Based Learning” is a masterpiece
“Brain Based Learning” suggests a new style of teaching that activates student brains and makes them an active participant in the learning process. Author Eric Jensen is absolutely brilliant with his delivery of this material. His writing style is engaging, profound and insightful. I’m so impressed with the way to weaves together a variety of sources to present his idea for personal transformation. Never before have I read a book that combines material on stress reduction, fight-or-flight, activating both hemispheres of the brain, and flow states– and applied it to education.
Seriously, this book is a masterpiece! You don’t have to be a teacher to gleam something from “Brain Based Learning” — it is also insightful for entrepeniurs, marketers and writers. If you listen to brain synch cds, use light and sound machines, or do any sort of AVE (audio visual entrainment), reading this book will rock your world. I highly recommend this book!
