The Effect of Neuroeducation-Based Activities on Science Achievement

Research in neuroeducation that examines the neurophysiological and biochemical mechanisms of learning offers significant insights for enhancing learning quality. The research findings indicate that enriched environmental stimuli, diverse sensory input, physical exercise, deviation from routine, repetitive stimuli, attention enhancement, and activities that promote long-term potentiation and neuroplasticity positively affect the capacity of information retention in long-term memory. Incorporating teaching activities informed by these insights will significantly enhance the application of theoretical knowledge in educational neuroscience to practical contexts. This research aims to evaluate the impact of neorueducation-based instructional activities on students' academic achievement and information retention, while also seeking applcation results that will reinforce the theoretical framework. The research employed a pretest-posttest paired control group design, a type of quasi-experimental methodology, to assess the effect of activities based on neuroeducation on students' science achievement. The activities based on neuroeducation were implemented with the experimental group students over the course of 13 lessons. The study revealed that the implemented activities, such as experiential learning, musical stimuli, repetition strategies, online education, out-of-class engagement, and working memory exercises, had a positive impact on academic performance and promoted the formation of long-term memory. Consequently, it can be concluded that instruction utilizing activities based on neuroeducation significantly influenced students' academic achievement and facilitated knowledge retention. These results suggest the importance of integrating activities into the learning process that enhance learning performance through significant neurophysiological and biochemical changes in the brain.
