‘It has been said consistency is the mastering of a process.’
Neuroscience shows that the activity in the brain is intimately interwined with behavior and mental processes, i.e the brain is wired in a way that if not tasked for a quite period of time it will be dormant and it will take a well cultured process to become active again, since its performs multi functionality including control of the sensory organs.
The psychology behind the brain is so fascinating and logical, and at the same time complex, thus, understanding its complexity will be diversion of the subject topic aforementioned.
To this end, as a researcher and a concerned student of this great citadel of learning- Moshood Abiola Polytechnic- it would surprise you that the ongoing strike does more harm than good to the students brain psychological and the learning process.
Recall that these strikes, over months have matured and is yet to see any perfect resolutions. This in turn has led to postponement of academic calendar, examination and suspension of lectures which unconsciously might possibly affect students’ comprehension even when all issues have been resoluted and normalcy is back.
You might what to ask How?
Busy Brain and Distracted Minds
A student who has left the shores of learning could alternatively involve himself into several activities duriyleisure. These activities- mostly against his field of study – would possibly stir up desire and in turn channel the mind and heart of the students to dedication. Take for instance, a mass communication student who works as a phone repair shoo would have his brain wrapped up in the task at hand, methods process and solutions than the subjects taught in class. Thus, his mind is redirected and concentration is focused on repairs than Mass Communication, that is what he believes is more credible source of income.
Poor Assimilation
Research has also shown that it takes a minimum of 21 days of consistency for the brain to adapt to a new system passed by the stimulus in the body. Unquestionably, every student might have the tendency to loose retention, as begin out of an acay environment might have reduced the effectiveness to assimilate. Thus, when normalcy is restored and lectures commence, students might possibly experience forgetfulness which would mature into poor assimilation and retention, therefore, the need for extra coaching and tutorials.
Alternative measures
Unavoidably, after experience months and weeks of sitting down, students might begin to consider various options for survival and existence. Although,, this has its negative and positive side effects, but either way, it could hinder the concentration to academic activities.
These among many other reasons would affect student’s psychology and logical reasoning ability. Therfore, I appeal that appropriate authorities help us in fast track every necessary processes involved in solving the crises. .
