Do we educate from the student's brain?

Greetings again my dear friends I hope you are all very well, I think that despite our enormous progress in any sense of our evolution as a living species, we continue and will continue to structure the different and better ways for the transmission of any kind of learning from one human being to another, people dedicated to teaching undoubtedly were students and, in some way or another were influenced by their teachers in all their preparation, however, it is interesting to express or ask ourselves the following question:

Do teachers really try to transmit their teachings from the brain of the learner?

Actually I think not, teachers usually try to make students adapt to our way of teaching, and those who do not, then, will have learning difficulties in one way or another, we are clear that not everyone learns in the same way or at the same pace, that is where, as teachers we must be attentive, in order to seek any alternative for learning can reach everyone, of course, it is not an easy task, much less when in a classroom impose an exorbitant number of students.

All human beings learn in proportion to the awakening of our interest in certain knowledge, that is, at that moment our mind expands and decides to absorb what interests him, therefore, we can say that this ability is intrinsic to human beings, but, however, does not guarantee that we can control it as many times as we want, it is necessary to be able to understand the behavior of our mind and thus control our need to learn, even though a certain topic does not interest us too much.

Usually, we present ourselves in the classroom with formulas or prepared classes, something that is very good, since in this way we will not improvise, however, we must look a little further when a certain group of students fail to grasp what we are teaching in class and also at the precise moment where their mind expands to do so, that is, wanting to learn.

I am convinced that when we teach from the brain of the learner, we as educators manage to learn, that is, we diversify our methods, which at first may confuse us, but as time goes by we will realize that it is the best and ideal way for any type of teaching, towards a certain group of people, regardless, of course, of their ages, since our mind will always be willing to learn, but it must always have the right stimulus to do it.

Teaching from the brain of the learner is a great challenge for the field of education and, which has taken a lot of strength in these times of so many technological changes and, therefore, in all senses, I think that when we teach from the brain of the learner, then everything becomes a constant process of mutual learning, both the student and the educator, and this is the enormous advantage for both binomials, where the greatest strength between them will be the mutual understanding in any type of learning that is desired to impart or obtain.

Student agency is exactly what you're talking about in this post, and its movement is/has been gaining momentum for a while now. Allowing students to have control over the way that they learn is both empowering and scary, and for the students who don't know the best way to learn, it can probably be just as problematic as forcing students to adapt to our way of teaching.

Allowing students to learn in their own style is important, but we need to be careful of allowing the pendulum to swing too far to either side - we need to find a midpoint that will let students learn their way with teachers assisting them in making meaningful decisions that are beneficial and not detrimental.

You are very right in what you say, and as you rightly say, it will all depend on the right balance between the teacher's and the student's judgment.

Thank you for sharing your valuable contribution. Best regards.
