Nutrition and cognitivie development

NUTRITION AND COGNITIVE DEVOLEPMENT AYTEN AKPINAR BIOLOGY TEACHER İSTANBUL BÜYÜKÇEKMECE VOCATION AND TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

The relationship

between nutrition and

learning is important

for people who care for

children.  Cognitive

development is a term

that covers human

perception, thinking ,

and learning.

Nutrition, genes, and environment are three major factors impacting cognitive development.

Because there are many factors that impact learning, scientists cannot say, “If you eat this, you will be smarter.”

However, the role of

good nutrition in child

development and

learning is important.

Nutrition during the

early years of a child’s

life is linked to   performance

in later years.

EXPERIENCES

EXPERIENCES

All in all, participating in the Comenius project was a great experience for me and all the teachers and students that participated in it. The students learned to work with their classmates and teachers after school and share the information they gathered in order to fulfill the project. They also had the chance to meet other students, different cultures, new places, different ways of living. Thus they  felt more mature and responsible, especially when they hosted students in their homes, they practiced their English and communicated via social media. Speaking English became a practice which they continued at school and they ended up doing that even during breaks!

There were moments that are unforgetable and others that were full of anxiety and disappointment. I will never forget our trip to Riccia and the warm welcome we received by the teachers and parents and above all Pina. Our visit to Romania was great, too. Valentina and the Principal and all the teachers welcomed us in a way that I will never forget. So friendly and warm! Meeting the French teachers and especially Catherine, Roman, Christophe and Frank was something  more than pleasure. We had the chance to discuss many things and come close. It is a pity that we may not meet again.
The best days for me personally were our visit to Italy, where we had our students together and the days we hosted our partners in Kilkis. Very tiring but so nice. I was really glad to host some teachers in my home and share with them some of our special dishes,our way of life, our hospitality.
On the other hand, I feel so disappointed with the Spanish partners. After a two-day travel there was no one to welcome us in Alcala, no one spoke English and I had to use gestures to be understood. And it was our first meeting! The meeting though at school with the teachers and students was in a way compensating.
