Abstract
This study aims to investigate effects of brain-based learning. 27 primary studies were selected through rigorous search process and analyzed through meta-analytic methods. Research findings are as follows. First, the total effect size was .67. Second, the effect of dependent variables was academic achievement, cognitive domain, and affective domain in order. Third, with respect to types of cognitive domain, the effect was self-regulation, creativity, competence, communication, and research ability in order. Fourth, the effect of affective domains was sociality, learning interest, and subject attitude in order. Fifth, regarding development of cognitive ability, the effect size was combined, brain training, learning environments, and right brain activities in order. Sixth, the effect of learning activities was memory improvement and attention enhancement in order.
