Design and Development of Learning Innovation Enhancing Learning Potential Using Brain-Based Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design and develop learning innovation enhancing learning potential of the learners using brain-based learning. The target group consisted of 9 administrator, teachers teaching science learning substance in grade 4–6, total of 36 teachers, and 4–6 grade students from 9 schools, total of 928 students in primary school. The research and development was employed in this study. The procedure were as following: (1) to examine the principles and theories regarding brain-based learning, constructivist and cognitive theories (2) to explore the school context concerning brain-based learning (3) to synthesize designing framework of learning innovation enhancing learning potential of the learners using brain-based learning (4) to design and develop learning innovation according to above mentioned designing framework. The result revealed that: (1) The learning innovation enhancing learning potential of the learners using brain-based learning comprise of 9 components as following: (1) Problem base (2) Knowledge bank (3) Scaffolding (4) Meaningful experience (5) Multiple intelligence development center (6) Relaxation room (7) Edutainment room (8) Brain-gym room (9) Collaboration (2) The efficiency of the learning innovation illustration as following: (1) The Experts review (2)The learners’ opinions from 9 schools (3) The learners’ multiple intelligences and learning achievement.
