“Stop doodling!”
You can hear it in schoolrooms and at kitchen tables across the country. Most
parents and teachers believe that doodling is merely a distraction from the
task at hand.After all, how can students be listening to a lecture if they’re
decorating their margins with flowers? According to a surprising study by Dr.
Jackie Andrade at the University of Plymouth, however, doodling may actually
help kids—and even adults—to concentrate.
In her groundbreaking study,Andrade had forty subjects listen to a long,
boring recording. Listeners who were given a task similar to doodling actually
performed better on a memory test based on the recording than those who
were not allowed to doodle. These results show that some people doodle
spontaneously when they find their attention drifting and it helps them to
stay on track, explains Andrade.
The results of the study are astounding, since other research shows that multitasking usually
decreases productivity. In other words, no matter how much your child swears to you that he does his
homework more efficiently when he’s texting in one hand and checking his email with the other, studies
show otherwise.Andrade explains that doodling works differently from most forms of multitasking. It
actually reduces a person’s need to daydream during boring tasks, allowing him to complete those tasks
more effectively.So does that mean that all children should be encouraged to doodle? Are some
students actually distracted by doodling? Dr.Andrade answers some of the most common questions
from parents and teachers who hear about her study.
How should parents and teachers approach children who
doodle?
Be sympathetic to doodlers. Doodling in your school book might not be beneficial because it makes your
work look messy and makes it hard for the teacher to read, admits Andrade, but doodling on a piece of
scrap paper is a fair compromise if it helps your kid concentrate.
And for parents and teachers who feel like children should be able to pay attention without doodling?
“The best thing would be to make the lesson so fascinating that no-one needs to doodle, but we are all
different and what fascinates one student won’t necessarily fascinate another,” says Andrade.
“Doodling is a better option than daydreaming,” and it allows a kid to focus on a tedious task without
getting carried away by his imagination.
Are all doodles helpful?
Not all doodles are created equal.“Good” doodles need to be spontaneous, self-paced,repetitive, and
meaningless.“Coloring the letters on your homework sheet or drawing curlicues in the margin would be
this sort of ‘helpful’ doodling,” explains Andrade.“Sketching a portrait of your friend, writing a poem, or
trying to create something beautiful will distract you from the lesson. Doodling a word repeatedly may be
fine, but not if the word is the name of the boy you fancy and your thoughts are entirely focused on him
and not the lesson.”
In fact,Andrade’s research may not only apply to doodling. Other repetitive tasks, such as making tiny
braids out of sections of hair,rolling balls of craft dough, or even what most people think of as “nervous
habits” like nail biting may help kids concentrate.
Should I stop my child from doodling?
Even with all of this research, parents and teachers may argue that some kids are truly distracted by
doodling.Andrade says that this may be true for some. If a child who often doodles is struggling
academically, the first step should not be to forbid doodling. Instead, explore why he’s finding it so hard
to concentrate and determine what would make the lesson more interesting.
If all else fails, you can always use the following test: forbid your child from doodling for a given period of
time, and see how he reacts. Does he listen attentively and retain the information, or does he seem to
have a glazed, inattentive expression, and remembers little of what he heard? If he demonstrates that
he’s actually absorbing the information while doodling, then encourage him to continue doing so.
Should I encourage my child to start doodling?
If your child is able to fully focus on the lesson without doodling, there’s no reason to encourage her to
doodle.“The important message is that the best thing is to concentrate fully on the lesson,” says
Andrade.“Doodling helps when you are struggling to do that, and it helps because it is better than
daydreaming. Daydreaming is very distracting because we daydream about things that matter to us,
often about things that worry us or excite us. Whereas doodling can be paused at any moment,
daydreams are like a good story, hard to abandon once you’ve started.”
Every kid is different, and every kid’s way of learning is different too. What makes one kid learn and
thrive might carry another away to la-la-land. The good news is, doodling isn’t the universal sign of
someone not paying attention. If your kid is able to learn while doodling, then there’s no reason to break
the habit.

So if that maze of scribbles and shapes doesn’t prevent him from remembering that ho-hum
history lesson, then tell him to doodle on!

and that is why doodling is good for you

The Importance of doodling

this was an article i found about the science behind doodling. this includes a video about Sunni brown talking about how doodling can help you

 

To a teacher, seeing a student hunched over her notebook furiously writing is generally thought of as a good sign. Upon closer inspection, however, a teacher sometimes discovers that instead of writing down notes, the student’s notebook is filled with small drawings. The content of these creations varies, but generally, this kind of drawing is known as “doodling.” For a long time, doodling has been thought, at best, to be an idle and mindless activity. At worst, it has been seen as a significant distraction from the real work of learning. Interestingly, recent research has revealed that doodling may actually help the brain to process certain kinds of information. Furthermore, it is possible that encouraging students to doodle may actually increase their engagement and interest in educational subject matter.

In a 2009 study, Jackie Andrade, a psychology professor at the University of Plymouth in England, designed a psychological experiment to determine whether doodling actually benefits attention and memory. In the study, an experimental group was instructed to make marks on paper while listening for information in a “mundane” phone message. The control group listened to the same message without doodling. The group instructed to doodle remembered 29% more information than did the control group. While the study is far from conclusive, its potential implications could explain a lot about why doodling has been so pervasive in generation after generation of school children, and how the practice might actually be useful in educational settings.

Some research suggests that doodling is particularly helpful in science classes. In 2011, educational researchers from three Australian universities — Shaaron Ainsworth of the University of Nottingham, Vaughan Prain of La Trobe, and  Russell Tytler of Deakin University — conducted a joint study to test Andrande’s 2009  results. The three researchers decided to test the theory in a science class, science being a subject that relies on images, graphs, and visual aids to explain concepts. They encouraged students to draw what they learned during lecture, and while doing assigned readings. Students who drew not only retained more information, but they also reported more enjoyment and engagement with the course material.

In the face of mounting evidence that doodling is much more than just an idle activity, a few notable individuals are looking to bring the practice into the professional mainstream. Sunni Brown, named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” and one of the “10 Most Creative People on Twitter” by Fast Company, is the leader of “The Doodle Revolution” the purpose of which is to “disrupt social norms about visual language and visual thinking, [and] educate people around the world about [doodling’s] power and potential.” Brown is an ardent champion of the practice of doodling, saying in her TED Talk, “the doodle has never been the nemesis of intellectual thought. In reality, it is one of its greatest allies.” Sunni Brown’s design consultancy, Sunni Brown Ink, has worked with high-profile clients like Linkedin, Zappos, and Dell, amongst others to improve organization and planning by using doodles.

It is worth noting that not all the research done on doodling suggests a positive effect. In 2012, Elaine Chan of the University of British Columbia found that for visual recall, doodling seemed to have a negative effect. Chan suggested a variety of plausible reasons for this result, the most likely being that “the main visual recall task required visual processing by the brain, [as did the doodling task, and so] performance on the recall of images was impaired [due to the split in attention].”

Certainly, we are just beginning to explore the connection between doodling and learning, and there is far more research to be done on the potential value of “meaningless marks.” That being said, the implications of these first few studies really are fascinating in that they imply incredible potential for the use of doodling as a way to help learners to process and retain certain kinds of information. Doodling should not be flatly discouraged, but rather, looked upon as one potential avenue for real growth as educators deduce the best methods for helping students to learn the vital skills that will help them succeed in the future.
