Know How Children Learn

Every individual is unique. This means that every individual has the difference between the one with the other. The differences are diverse, ranging from physical differences, patterns of thinking and ways to respond to or learn new things. In this study, each individual has its own advantages and disadvantages in absorbing the lessons given. Therefore, in the education world are known various methods to meet the demands of these individual differences. In developed countries the education system is made even in such a way that individuals can freely choose the education pattern in accordance with the characteristics themselves.
In Indonesia, we often hear complaints from parents who feel you've done a variety of ways to make their children become "smart." Parents are competing to send their children to the best schools. In addition, children enrolled in various courses and private lessons are sometimes run out of time-consuming that could have used a child or teen to play or socialize with their peers.However, these efforts often do not produce results as expected, and some have even caused problems for children and adolescents.
What exactly happened? Why children are not being smart for a visit? One factor that could be the cause is a mismatch way of learning which is owned by the child with learning methods are applied in the education she lived including courses or private lessons. How to learn is meant here is a combination of how individuals absorb, and organize and manage information.

Brain For Learning Center
The human brain is a collection of the most complex mass of protoplasm that exist in the universe. The only organ that can examine itself and if well cared for in environments that generate adequate stimulation, the brain can function in active and reactive for more than a hundred years. The brain is at the center of learning that must be maintained well into a lifetime to avoid damage.
According to MacLean, the human brain has three basic parts which are all known as the triune brain / three in one brain (in DePorter & Hernacki, 2001). 
The first part is the brain stem, the second part of the limbic system and the third is the neocortex.
Brain stem have the same structure with reptilian brain, the brain is responsible for motor functions, sensory-physical knowledge that comes from senses. Conduct that was developed part of this is the behavior for survival and the urge to preserve the species.
Around the brain stem there is the limbic system is very complex and extensive. 
This system is at the center of the human brain.Emotional and cognitive function is the store feeling, a pleasant experience, memory and learning ability. In addition, these systems regulate the body's biorhythms such as sleep patterns, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, heart disease, sexual arousal, temperature, body chemistry, metabolism and immune system.The limbic system is the control panel in the use of information from the senses of sight, hearing, body sensation, touching, smelling as input and this information was conveyed to the thinkers in the brain is the neocortex.
Neocortex wrapped around the sides of the limbic system, which owns 80% of all brain matter. This section is where bersemayamnya center of human intelligence. These sections organize the messages received through sight, hearing and sensation of the human body. Process derived from this arrangement is the reasoning, intellectual thinking, decision making, normal behavior, language, conscious motor control, and the idea of non-verbal. In the neocortex is also a higher intelligence is located, are: linguistic, mathematical, spatial / visual, kinesthetic / feeling, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intuition.

Characteristics of Learning
Based on the ability of the brain to absorb, manage and deliver information, then how individual learning can be divided into 3 (three) categories. The third category is how to learn visual, auditory and kinesthetic characterized by a certain behavioral characteristics. This categorization does not mean that individuals who have only one way to learn certain characteristics that it has no way of learning the other characteristics. This categorization is only a guideline that the individual has one of the most prominent characteristics so that if he got the appropriate stimulation of learning it will be easier to absorb the lesson. In other words, if the individual discover learning methods that match the characteristics of learning itself so fast it would be "smart" so that the courses or intensive private tutoring may not be needed anymore.
