Education has not changed in centuries! Since the 19th century, the Victorian model has become a standard for school education. Desks grouped in front of a blackboard, listen to theoretical lectures for hours and memorize without stopping.
According to the study done by Dr. Eric Mazur of Harvard University, the brain reduces its neuronal activity while students are in class and watching television!
The explanation?
The brain shuts down because learning is passive. We become receivers of information (listening and watching) instead of having the opportunity to think, pause, and reflect when the brain is working.
WE MUST CHANGE THE WAY OF TEACHING
Play is the natural way in which children learn. Lets get students involved for active learning!
That is why at 7 Generation Games we create educational video games that improve math, history and bilingual skills.
Technology is the key to getting children’s attention and what better way to learn than playing?
