Brain-based Learning Theory
Principles:
1. The brain is a parallel processor.
2. The search for meaning is innate .
3. The search for meaning occurs through “patterning ”.
4. Emotions are critical to patterning.
5. Learning is enhanced by a challenge and inhabited by
threat.

THE INQUIRY-BASED
APPROACH
Essential features of Inquiry
1. Learner engages in scientifically-oriented question.
2. Learner gives priority to evidence in responding to
question.
3. Learner formulates explanation from evidence.
4. Learner connects explanations to scientific evidence.
5. Learner communicates and justifies explanation.
