Abstract

Instead of teaching curriculum, it is time that pedagogs teach children with instructional techniques in accordance with how the human brain functions.  This theoretical discussion provides a  strong footing for structural and systemic educational change. Though reflecting on cognitive functionality has been central to the field of cognitive psychology/science, it has not led towards improvements in daily curricular practices. This paper attempts to connect how learning occurs with curricular policy and practice.
