While reviewing a paper on neuroeducation research, I encountered findings that link dopamine secretion—a neurotransmitter associated with reward—to the levels of uncertainty and unpredictability in the learning process. To sustain student engagement for extended periods, much like the effect of electronic games, we may need to focus on inducing dopamine release by increasing unpredictability in the learning process. As an experienced educator, I recommend critically examining several routines practised by teachers worldwide....

On a sunny day following a wintry storm, I took a stroll with the family kids to a nearby forest. Upon reaching our destination, I was astonished by a captivating sight on the ground that resembled a giant hand. Taking a closer look, it became evident that this scene was a natural phenomenon, devoid of human intervention. Before unveiling the science behind the image, I invite you to observe it well and try to decipher the natural phenomena that caused it....

Throughout the course of my educational journey, I've frequently encountered novice teachers conflating inquiry-based learning with hands-on activities. The majority of them categorize all hands-on pedagogical activities as inquiry-based learning. This stems from a misunderstanding of the differences and commonalities between the instructional strategies. Hence, there is a need for a rigorous identification of each one. Teachers must realize that…...

Students are born with the instinctive desire to ask questions. Their curiosity to understand the world around them drives them to seek answers that quench this curiosity and help them in their discovery journey. They start by asking their parents and friends, and later at school, they ask their teachers. The majority of their questions go in vain due to one of these reasons: parents either lack the time or the knowledge to respond to their children's queries, they believe that the questions are above their kids' age level, or they are simply tired of their kids' questions....
