This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Engaging students in the science classroom, Executive Function/s meaning 2.Executive FUNCTION which is the actual act of engagement displayed by a student in response to a stimulus in the classroom instruction such as a request to participate in a classroom teaching activity, SIGNIFICANCE via Connectedness, Classroom management - Engaging children in the science classroom presenting information Levels of thinking HOT, Executive Function/s meaning 1. Executive FUNCTIONS which are the neurological processes occuring in the brain in response to an environmental stimulus, Classroom management - Engaging children in the science classroom presenting information QT MODEL, 1. Executive FUNCTIONS which are the neurological processes occuring in the brain in response to an environmental stimulus How does the brain respond to a stimulus? In summary, any stimulus received by the brain is firstly interpreted and engaged by the Limbic system (Ardila 2008). The limbic system is the centre of our emotions. Therefore the first response is an emotional response. This emotional response is then transferred to the cerebral cortext where cognition takes place. This happens through the engagement of higher order thinking processes using the individuals discipline specific literacy or metalanguage. This process describes the executive functions active in cognition of the stimuls., YES - the act of student engagement can be seen as the first physical response to the stimulus. The positive or negative response can also be seen (identified) on the students faces. positive outcome The student response is quick and determined. eg.The student picks up a pen to write. The student asks a question. The student puts their hand up to answer a question. The student is seen to be on task., Bad emotions summarised as MAD or SAD, Collaborative learning 'groupwork' This works because social activity, Classroom management - Engaging children in the science classroom presenting information student direction students have a choice over how they learn, In summary, any stimulus received by the brain is firstly interpreted and engaged by the Limbic system (Ardila 2008).
