Abstract

Brain-based learning is the understanding of the human brain functions and its application in educational environments for meaningful learning. Brain-Based Learning adapts the learning process based on the function of human brain, providing a learner-centered tutoring environment. To this direction, a personalized brain-based quiz game was developed applying the principles of brain-based learning and Marzano Taxonomy for promoting meaningful learning and improving students’ higher order cognitive functions. Thus, the system adapts quiz content based on student knowledge level, emotional state and the learning goal set. Regarding the control grouped pre-test and post-test experiment; the results reveal that this approach has a positive effect on students’ performance, outperforming the traditional e-assessment systems.
