Description

Improve your teaching by discussing the science of learning

What is learning? How does it work? On this course you try and answer these questions, exploring how you can use the science of learning to inform your teaching and support your students’ learning.

Drawing upon educational neuroscience and psychology (and combating neuroscience myths), you will learn how to interpret research to be better informed about how your students learn. Throughout the course, you will reflect on your own practice as a teacher, learning how to justify and improve your approach.

Busting myths?

Welcome to The Science of Learning. On this course you will discover how amazing our brain is: how we learn, how the brain adapts and what all this means for teachers and your students. We start by asking: what is learning?

Neuroscience and education: bridging the gap
Supporting your professional development

Fact or fiction??

Neuromyths are commonly held beliefs about how the brain works that are not completely accurate or are just plain wrong. What neuromyths do you know about and is there any truth in them?

Exploring the science of learning?

As you begin to explore the science of learning, you’ll need to adopt a critical approach. When presented with new ideas, how do you assess whether they will work or not in your teaching context?

Great refresher for me. The presenter speaks clearly. The material is well organized and easy to understand.

NS

This is the second time I've looked at this course, which USES educational neuroscience and psychology (and the myths that counter neuroscience) to learn how to interpret research in order to better understand how our students learn.

VG

The course is good, most of the Suggestions about science to improve teaching.

LM

This course is more suitable for training as a novice teacher, which I think is very good.
