The first online journals that I looked at on the Walden Library database relevant to this week’s topic of brain and learning process was “The Amazing Brain – Babies start learning to read the day they’re born” by Renea Arnold and Nell Colburn. The journal talks about how importance it is for the brain to development right when a baby is born. I agree with the article because babies learn much faster at the early stages of development. The quote, “Step by step children discover the meanings of words, the rhythm and flow of language, and how to put words together to tell stories.” The quote explains that children learn by step by step like we learn how to do mathematics equations in school. The brain only develops three quarters after birth and 80% develops over time in three years. That is why it is important to interact with your child before and during the early stages of development like reading to them every night and talking to child daily. Finally, providing a child with a loving, nurturing, and encouraging environment to learn will provide a secure place for a child’s brain to develop.
The second online journal that I looked at on the Walden Library database relevant to this week’s topic of brain and learning was “Teaching Problem-Solving Skills to Adults” by Seagull, Beatrice. The journal talks about how college teachers lack provide student with functional problem solving skills to be successful in today’s corporate field. I do believe teaching adult students’ problem solving techniques will help them become a successful students and career professional. There are different types of problems that are easy to solve and also difficult to solve. Colleges do not offer officially training in problem solving skills. There are people who can solve problems quickly others have challenges. But problem solving is a skill that is an ongoing learning process. Technical problem solving skills can help a student outside the classroom and into the professional field. Finally, problem solving is an important skill adult students must learn before entering into the professional field.
