Bloom's Two Sigma Problem, coined by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom in 1984, refers to the challenge of finding methods of group instruction that are as effective as one-to-one tutoring. In one-to-one…
Memories are formed through connections between neurons, which are the cells in our brain responsible for transmitting information. When we learn something new, our brain creates these connections, forming pathways that lead to different memories. However, not all pathways are needed forever. Some memories may fade or become less relevant over time. Synaptic pruning helps our brains get rid of the connections that we don’t use often, making room for new ones. This is part of how our brains stay efficient and organized, ensuring that we can focus on what truly matters while letting go of less important information.
Post covid period, the adoption of self-learning platforms has soared, transforming how students engage with knowledge. These platforms—ranging from interactive games to sophisticated learning management systems—offer new ways for children to learn independently. But, with this shift comes an important question: How can self-learning platforms be optimized to support students across different age groups?

This article explores the connection between boredom and the Default Mode Network (DMN), discussing both the benefits and potential drawbacks of boredom, and offering strategies to harness its power for positive outcomes.
As global temperatures go up, permafrost starts to thaw. Imagine a frozen landscape slowly turning into soggy, sinking ground as the ice within it melts. This thawing has several big effects that can change the environment and contribute to climate change.
