explaining the role of the environment and the role of the teacher and student in learning based on the epistemological foundations of educational neuroscience
the purpose of this article is to examine the role of the environment and the role of the teacher and student in the learning process based on the epistemological foundations of educational neuroscience. in this study, using the documentary method and qualitative content analysis, the epistemological foundations of educational neuroscience have been comprehensively explained, and then, using epistemological propositions, the role of the environment and the role of the teacher and student in learning have been inferred and analyzed.
some important findings in the field of the role of the environment include the effect of the physical environment on learning, the importance of security and environmental psychological stress, the role of real and natural environments and active interaction with them, as well as the positive effect of diverse environments in promoting the learning process. also, findings related to the role of teacher and student include such things as building new neural networks in the brain, learning based on whole-brain integration, social and vicarious learning, learning related to emotions and feelings, and learning with effective evaluation and feedback. in addition, learning based on multisensory experiences, involvement of the entire body physiology, focused attention, general and detailed processing, search for meaning and patterning, as well as the impact of challenges, threats, and feelings of fear and anxiety on learning have also been raised as other dimensions. these results show that environmental factors and interactions between teacher and student play a very key role in improving the quality of learning and can create positive synergy in the education process. therefore, exploiting these findings can be used in designing educational environments appropriate to brain knowledge and effective teaching methods to provide deeper and more sustainable learning environments.
finally, it is suggested that teachers and trainers, with a more detailed understanding of these principles, apply up-to-date methods and strategies in their classrooms to increase student motivation and participation, enhance the efficiency of the teaching-learning process, and contribute significantly to improving their academic performance. also, educational policymakers can develop appropriate curricula and educational environments based on these principles and provide a suitable environment for students' all-round growth. thus, recognizing and benefiting from educational neuroscience is a new and effective solution in improving the quality of the country's education system.
