Incorporating MindChamps Learning Revolution – Optimal Flow Method™
Have you wondered why many children, after years of study and tutoring, can be uninterested in, or even hate, a school subject?
Research has shown that a student's connection with a subject is a significant factor in deciding whether the student does well in the subject or hates it. Negative emotions act as 'blockers', setting up a brain-state which resists the processing of new information.
To help students learn effectively and enjoy the process, we must first make the curriculum content more 'brain-friendly'. We must structure it carefully and present it in a way which is both easy to understand and more engaging for the student. This is why MindChamps created the unique:
The Optimal Flow Method takes into account how the brain learns best, then optimises its strengths. Research on concept-formation by Professor Allan Snyder (MindChamps Honorary Chancellor) shows that optimal learning occurs through making strong associations; linking new information to existing knowledge.
Too often, in traditional education, this does not happen. Subjects and whole units are taught in isolation and the student is left unable to join the pieces together into a coherent whole.
Because nothing is connected, active understanding does not occur, and many pieces of information do not ‘stick’, as the long-term memory is unable to lay down and hold onto them. The student feels overwhelmed and the resulting stress means a less efficient performance in the exams. Going for tuition, which merely consists of ‘more of the same’ does not solve the basic problem.
What is needed is a learning strategy that joins all the pieces together and helps make the important cognitive and emotional connections. Effective learning provides the overall picture and organises the information so that it provides a natural – and ‘brain friendly’ flow. This is the principle behind MindChamps Optimal Flow Method of learning.
The Optimal Flow Method helps students connect the new information to concepts they have already understood, to create a new and more complete understanding. Once this happens, each topic within the curriculum deepens the understanding by adding its part to the developing Flow. New information can be easily compared, contrasted and synthesised with knowledge previously learnt. Students can then draw upon this knowledge to answer questions and solve problems during exams.
So, how does Optimal Flow apply to school subjects?
