Brain-Based Teaching: Differentiation in Teaching, Learning, and Motor Skills

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the brain-based differentiations between the genders and the impact they may have on teaching and learning. The term gender will be used throughout the article to highlight the characteristics that distinguish males and females. The article will first examine if these differences do exist and how they evolved. Biological and learning differences can shed light on why boys may excel at certain tasks and girls at others.
