Brain based research

Emily and Natalie- Brain based research The article reviewed brain based research and its' effect on education. Brain based research is the study of the brain and through it we expect to find out about study approaches and students thoughts. Brain based research is a very clashing issue topic in the education field. Some believe that it should be applied in the education field and utilized for its findings. Others believe that it has no place in the classroom and it is all just guesswork. There is research on both sides to support using or not using brain based research but I will go at the issue from another way. I like brain based research that studies how to best approach individual students, however, I feel that more research on mass student groups, and the approach we take as a whole is not improved enough yet. The mind of students is individual and different for every child. Attention is what drives many students and if we give them that then we can be assured of higher achievement. More time spent studying their brains so that we can bang out a fool proof curriculum is a waste of time I feel.
