We pilot-tested Brainology in 20 New York City schools. Virtually all of the students loved it and reported (anonymously) the ways in which they changed their ideas about learning and changed their learning and study habits.
Brainology is helping students understand the growth mindset.
Teachers also reported changes in their students, saying that they had become more active and eager learners: "They offer to practice, study, take notes, or pay attention to ensure that connections will be made."
students noticed how learning strengthens neural connections.
I did change my mind about how the brain works…I will try harder because I know that the more you try, the more your brain works.
This reflects a personal realization or change in perspective of how the brain functions or works.It shows the effort involved in improving cognitive abilities.
My favorite thing from Brainology is the neurons part where when u learn something, there are connections and they keep growing. I always picture them when I'm in school.
neurons forming connections when we learn something new is really powerful.
