The Impact of Stress on Learning
| Stress
affects all of us. Today's research suggests that stress can block
chemical reactions in the brain that are necessary for learning. Stress
can disrupt learning and memory development
(long-term potentiation (LTP) as it forces the brain
to revert to more primitive survival needs. To foster creativity
and learning, educators should learn how to minimize stressful situations. The
challenge is to introduce new ways or instructional strategies to reduce levels of the stress hormone (cortisol)
and increase levels of the `happy' hormone (DHEA). We have much to learn about the impact of stress on learning and memory. This site provides educators with information, techniques, and resources for learning about stress and stress management as it relates to learning, As practitioners, the more we know about stress the more we can be proactive--not reactive to supporting learning challenges. |
