THE EMOTIONAL BASIS OF LEARNING
Once again, we need to know how sensitive a human being is to keep learning, keep remembering and keep teaching. This is one of the most touching articles that I found in this series of reading. It reminds me that a human being is a complex and beautiful organism that has multiple biological systems that exchange information, and change and interact internally and externally with the environment and all the stimuli that can effect you emotionally.
While reading this article, which is based on various studies made by Noboru Kobayashi, M.D., I was awakened again to remember how much information or stimuli a child is perceiving before it is born. How developed and well prepared will this child become after being born? All this is a previous biological and physical interaction in which external emotions are already affecting the whole cognitive program of a child.
On the basis of these studies, as teachers we must be sensitive with our students, because probably a large majority of them come with traumatic cognitive function. As educators we do not know how the pregnancy history of our students was so we must provide a warm environment to promote a tender place to learn and a welcoming feeling to enrich the emotional human being.
I believe that if we promote an environment that helps students to feel valuable and comfortable, they will demonstrate and develop their cognitive powers in all capacities. We need to promote a better educational environment and feel totally compromised to adapt to the new social necessities like technology to prepare them for the future.
