Hyping the Students for Schoolwork: Incorporating Brain-Based Learning in Intermediate ESP Classes

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the impact of Brain-Based Learning (BBL) considerations to the academic performance of the Grade 4 and 6 pupils in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (ESP) at Fourth Estate Elementary School BF Homes. Brain-based learning posits a framework that categorizes orchestrated immersion, relaxed alertness, and active listening. The effects of BBL were gauged through summative tests, performance tasks, and periodical exams. Total enumeration was utilized in determining the respondents and 595 intermediate pupils participated. The study administered a validated instrument using Caine and Caine’s triadic BBL framework. Findings reveal that the threefold categories of brain-based learning have positive effects on all the three aspects of class performance at different levels.
