Recent findings in Cognitive Neuroscience are likely to have important implications for educational theory and practice.It is critical to determine whether these research findings sufficient,in and of themselves, to have a veridical impact on curriculum and policy.The ways in which neuroscience research will impact the field of education is discussed and Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences is examined as a case study of the impact of neuroscience on educational practice. It is concluded that experts who are well versed in both neuroscience and educational research and theory are needed and that the development of an indepe ndent discipline, Educational Neuroscience, will best bridge the gap between the two fields.

This could be addition to Elanur's "All in the mind?" post. There is often a big divide between what happens in the laboratory and the way laboratory findings are practically applied. The relationship between neuroscience research and education is no exception. While there are numerous educational products that claim to be based on neuroscience research (often quite dubiously so), the real impact of brain-based research on education has been much more subtle.

This is a Commentary by the Teaching and Learning Research Programme. There are many implications for the relationship btw. neuroscience and developmental disorders, strategies for teaching and learning and futuristic beliefs about the colloboration of psychology, neuroscience and education.

Hi dear friends. I found a website containing 2 minute neuroscience videos. You can click on the links to see the videos. My multimedia player does not work well so if you give me feedback on the videos (whether they are helpful) I would be grateful.

New Centre to research science of learning University of Melbourne education researchers will help shape the new Science of Learning Research Centre which will use scientific methods including neuroscience and psychology to improve our understanding of learning.

This is an online course for educators who want to understand how their students learn by helping them connect brain research into classroom practice. This course sheds light on some current issues related to neuroscience. I recommend you have a look at it :)

Dear Seda, I like this website too much, thank you :)

Its a whole course. Valuable resource for teachers. Similar examples, particularly in Turkey, can bridge the gap between neuroscience findings with the teaching practice.

The first graduate program in the United States about Neuroscience and education.

I am searching for good videos on neuroscience but I cannot watch them completely. There is a problem in my multimedia player I cannot fix. Please give me feedback. Can you watch the video?

The article shows the connection between cognitive neuroscience and mathematics education with experiments.

Sinem this is really a good reading for math educators and have direct applicability to math instruction.

The report focuses on advances in neuroscience with potential implications for education and lifelong learning. The report authors, including neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists and education specialists, agree that if applied properly, the impacts of neuroscience could be highly beneficial in schools and beyond. The report argues that our growing understanding of how we learn should play a much greater role in education policy and should also feature in teacher training.

I really like this website, which has research, current projects, seminars and conferences, and publications about Educational Neuroscience. And according to the website, its mission statement is to combine "strength in neuroscience, child development, psychology, and education research and its applications to education practise to establish a dialogue between researchers and educationalists to further translations of research into practise to improve education and well-being across the lifespan."

this includes both infographic and definitions for each ways how high schools changed by neurescience. I think it is very clear to understand the effect of neurescience.

Neuroscience integrated learning is certainly a way for staying off memorization based learning.

Hey, everyone. This is an example of a graduate program in Neuroscience and Education. It is the first graduate program in the country to focus on the educational and clinical implications of recent advances in understanding brain-behavior relationships. To be able to bridge the gap between research underlying brain, cognition and behavior, and the problems encountered in schools and other applied settings is one of the goals.

Hi all, "Genes to Cognition (G2C) Online is about modern neuroscience. It focuses on cognitive disorders, cognitive processes, and research approaches." What makes this website interesting is its dynamic networks that teach a lot about brain and neuroscience. What is more interesting about the website is 3-D Brain at the top right corner of the site. You can explore every single part of brain via that interactive model. Moreover, you can download it as a free application to your mobile phone through Google Play or App Store. Have fun with it! :)

Yasin, I liked to much this application, it is too enjoyable, thank you :)

There is no agreement on whether studying the way the brain works can help improve educational outcomes, but the discussion is a hot topic amongst educational experts.

As methods of imaging the brain improve, neuroscientists and educators can now identify changes in children's brains as they learn, and start to develop ways of personalizing instruction for kids who are falling behind.
