Influence of Brain Based Learning on Achievement of Students at Elementary Level

Abstract

This research was experimental in nature. Researcher intended to measure the nature and influence of Brain Based Learning on the achievements of students at elementary level. Researcher selected Grade 7^th. Two groups were formed named as experiment and control group. For seven week intervention was given to experiment group while control group was taught by conventional methods in English subject. True experiment design (Pre-test, post-test) was used to measure the effects of Brain Based Learning on the achievements of students before and after intervention. Test was pilot tested before it was applied to the sample. Item index was drawn to check the validity of each item. Reliability was checked by Cronbach alpha that was measure as 0.821. Researcher went through relevant literature to get proper information about the concept of Brain Based Learning. Brain Based Learning (BBL) has been an emerging phenomenon throughout the world for some decades. Brain Based Learning held the view that learning should involve student’s whole physic for better learning. Several methods and techniques were used to involve learner fully into the lesson. Brain Based Learning consists of twelve principles that base the modern learning styles. Results were analyzed by applying independent samples t test, paired samples T-test and ANCOVA. Overall results showed that experiment group students achieved better after getting intervention as compared to control group
