This is a conference organized by EARLI Special Interest Group: Neuroscience and Education. Here is the conference program that we can examine the abstracts of the papers presented. There are also papers from Turkey :)

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.

Hey everyone. This is the Science of Learning Research Centre. Researchers in education, neuroscience and cognitive psychology work together with teachers to understand the learning process.

Hey everyone! Here is a video on the role digital media plays in young people's lives. Social networks, online games and media production are seen as significant tool of the 21st century. There are other videos you can view on learning as well from this New Learning Institute.

An interesting commentary from the voice of an engineer on teaching.

In the example study four teacher participate a program on technology integration that supports science as inquiry teaching. It is a longitudinal study and the data sources are multiple. Ideas for further research are presented.

Science Teaching is exemplified with TPACK and different classroom applications can be found. Interrelation of science and technology is underlined.

Some example publications concerned with linking neuroscience and education can be found.

In relation to what Halil shared, the website contains news and commentaries on topics that are of concern to both neuroscience and education.

The article talks about the probable challenges of educational neuroscience and underlines the difference between designing children and raising children with some example cases.

I am really effected by the construct neuroplasticity as I read. I had read it as neuro-elasticity before but now I believe they are different terminologies or I am not sure:) So this article is about new emerging themes on neuroplasticity and its relation with education and culture. The figure showing the variables influencing brain plasticity is really good I think.

me too:) I also believe in the same idea, culture should be an issue to take into account in the process.

Yes I agree with you culture is in relation with lots of different elements that can be important for brain development or plasticity, the fact that cognitive structure Of the brain changes with culture seems important to keep in mind.

The table the authors provide, suggests some important distinctions between experimentation and design based research.

hey thank you, yes I also made great use of it :)

Yes I totally agree and also the participants not being assigned as objects can be another important advantage.

The web page can help us understand some basic characteristics of DBR. There is a nice summarizing figure and there is information on its history and purposes.

Yes that part made me think as well, as I see some people prefer using different terminologies for DBR and they have their justifications:)

The article underlines the emerging of design-based research by making connections with learning sciences. Differences between experimentation and design-based research are offered and terminologies that are similar to design-based research are dicussed with similarities and differences.

The author here suggests an alternate view and underlines that less structure will bring a lot more learning. The applicability and the feasibility of the design thinking is being questioned.

An introduction to case-based reasoning with the presentation, it includes examples. The author actually had many publications on case-based reasoning and workflow, I dont know what that is:)

The article is on the integration of case-based reasoning to problem-based learning, it is an example to a merging of them. Examples of science instruction can be found and CBR in detail is explained by Kolodner and her colleagues.

This is an illustration depicting the case-based reasoning cycle. The loops are shown as Kolodner states, starting with the choice of choosing a case.

The six c's of motivation are listed as: choice, challenge, control, collaboration, constructing meaning, and consequences and explained with examples. It is nice and easy to keep in mind.

This is a study conducted in Turkey for adapting a scale on Cognitive Absorption. As I understand it is a concept that takes into account absorption, cognitive engagement and flow as a framework. I wonder what other concepts might there be, that takes flow theory as a base, can be good to highlight.
