When teachers try to teach students in the class, for the first half of the hour they are attentive. In the next half, their concentration starts to decline. And towards the end of the period, their mind has flown away at least a mile further.
A number of teachers show concern and worry regarding this to the principals and parents. So, when asked upon “Why they lose their attention?”, the students unanimously said, “Our teacher doesn’t give us brain breaks.”
WHAT ARE BRAIN BREAKS?
In the simplest words: ‘brain breaks are the time periods given to the brain to restore its attention and rejuvenate’. As students learn by using his or her senses (touch, speak, listen, move, imagine, hear), their brain needs to be in a constant state of work. During this, the receptors from the senses give signals to neurons which then sends signals to the brain to store information in the memory.
In this way, the neural paths get activated and the students retain what he has learned. However, the most detrimental disruptions to this neural network are stress and overload. Stress acts as a hindrance in the way of learning by obstructing the path of signals. You may have noticed that when you were stressed, you retained only a chunk of what you have learned.
