#5.       The brain is organized to explore by generating expectations and trying out things.

Students are not necessarily exploring the realms of thought where I want them to be with science content. They want to explore methods to disrupt, distract. delay instruction,. Why?

Their motivation could be to:

•  get noticed by their peers and therefore talked about in the hallway
• make it less boring in other words cause inputs which are more stimulating
• prioritize inputs: What happened in the football game is what I need to know NOW

#7. Cognitive Unconscious and I-function

Student engagement of using the I-Function to develop a perception from accessing the CU is promoted because of their innate sense of individual need. What are their similar needs?

• Be a Hallway Hero
• Want to feel good
• Have fun

Best practice for us?

Create Projects that access those needs.
