    The document discusses two important brain structures for learning in the classroom: the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The cerebral cortex processes sensory information, controls learning and memory functions, and allows for skills, language, and social interaction. It is important for the author's students who struggle with English. The hippocampus regulates learning, memory encoding, and spatial navigation. It actively stores and recalls information, important when the author uses deductive teaching methods.

    EDUC 5210 Unit 5 Discussion

    Even before birth, the brain starts to mature even though it continues to mature throughout life, it
    does not mature at the same scale in each individual (Clikeman, M. 2010). McCandliss, B. &
    Toomarian, E., (2020) mentioned that as we learn, our brains continue to change. From different
    stages of life- there’s a natural learning experience- all of these are to act to refine the function
    and structure of nerves in the brain that are central to how we see, hear, act, and feel in the world.
    Moreover, they stated that teachers play a central role in guiding a child’s learning experiences. It
    can affect the nature of learning-induced changes in specific brain nerve the way the teachers
    focus on a student’s attention.
    In this discussion, the author will discuss the two brain structures that are very important in
    his/her classroom.
    Cerebral cortex
    Schunk, D. (2012) defined the cerebral cortex that it is the thin layer that covers the brain. This
    cerebral cortex processes sensory information; controls various learning and memory functions.
    Education, Society, & the K-12 Learner, (n.d) defined the cerebral cortex as the largest part of
    the brain that is responsible for many higher-order brain functions such as sensation, perception,
    memory, association, thought, and voluntary physical activity. Stangor, C. & Walinga, J. (2010)
    stated that this part of the brain allows to use of language, acquire complex skills, create tools,
    and to live with social groups successfully. I truly believe that using this cerebral cortex in my
    classroom is very important and many of my activities stress the importance of processing
    information and more on cognitive approach. Many of my students are struggling in English in
    terms of speaking and understanding it, so the cerebral cortex is very important in my classroom
    which is it has an important role in our brain. My main goal in teaching my students is to be able
    to understand and speak English, and use it in their daily life,
    Hippocampus
    This brain structure is responsible for holding the memory of the immediate past and working
    memory, and it helps to establish information in long-term memory but maintains in activating
    the information as needed (Schunk, D. 2012). Dutta, S. (n.d.) stated that the main function of the
    hippocampus is to regulate learning, memory encoding, memory consolidation, and spatial
    navigation. Honestly, sometimes, I use the deductive method in teaching my students, so, this
    part of the brain is working in which the teacher becomes active in the presentation while the
    students remain passive in the listening process. And because of this, it actively works both in
    storing and recalling information.
