Effect of Brain-Based Learning Strategies on Educational Aspiration of Students at Upper Primary Level

The presented research study is related to the study of the effect of brain-based learning strategies used by teachers on the educational aspirations of students. The main objective was to examine the effect of brain-based learning strategies on the educational aspirations of students. The researcher used a quasi-experimental research method for the research. The researcher selected P.V Girls Intermediate College (Dormitory school) governed by Dayalbagh Educational Institute by purposive sample selection method and intact sampling method was used for the selection of class 7, sections A and B. The number of students in both groups (section A experimental and Section B control group) was equal 50-50. After conducting a pre-test using the Level of Educational Aspiration Test developed by Dr. Yasmin Ghani Khan to evaluate the academic aspirations of students in both experimental and control groups, the researcher taught science using 15 lesson plans based on brain-based learning strategies to the experimental group. Meanwhile, in the control group, the same subject matter was taught by using traditional teaching methods. Afterward, a post-test of the educational aspirations of students was conducted by the researcher. In the context of students' educational aspirations, statistical analysis was performed on the obtained pre-test and post-test scores. Using the pre-test and post-test scores obtained in the context of students' academic aspirations, statistical tests such as the Mann-Whitney U-value and Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test were used to examine the significance of brain-based learning strategies. Based on the results of the present research study, it was found that the use of brain-based learning strategies in teaching has a significant impact on students' educational aspirations. Therefore, the hypothesis made in the context "There is no significant effect of Brain-Based Learning Strategies and conventional methods on the Educational Aspiration of students at upper primary level in experimental and control group after treatment." has been rejected. Based on the results of this research, it can be said that teachers should use brain-based learning strategies in their teaching-learning activities, so that students' educational aspirations can be raised to a higher level, and they can also express their proficiencies in the context of various aspects of education
