Learning Sciences

Children can participate in workshops and learn by doing in a science center in Ankara. The price for each workshop is essentially affordable.I hope the number of such centers will increase and be reached by more children for free.

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

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.

the videos and the interactives are really nice to see :)

Something about how language functions. I especially suggest you to check Broca and Wernick areas, which are really interesting.

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.

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.

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 paper can help us neuroscience week… It is too interesting New research indicates that glia cells are "the brain's supervisors." By regulating the synapses, they control the transfer of information between neurons, affecting how the brain processes information. This new finding could be critical for technologies based on brain networks, as well as provide a new avenue for research into disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy.

Perhaps, you've watched it before, but pls watch it if you haven't...it is one of my favourites...Enjoy it :-))

The video presents the reality of women, we are really complicated;) I really enjoyed watching it Şermin thanks for sharing:)

Wow that was funny! I want to share what happened when me an my friend were trying to assemble my disassembled table:) I was following the directions 'step by step' at the mean time thinking where to put the table according to day light,the lamp and so on when he just started to assemble it without thinking anything, really anything and for sure without checking the instructions. He had a glance what it is supposed to look like in the end and just gave a start. I think this is also the way men perceive the life :)

You've surely heard the slogans: "Our educational games will give your brain a workout!" Or how about, "Give your students the cognitive muscles they need to build brain fitness." And then there's the program that "builds, enhances, and restores natural neural pathways to assist natural learning."

Fischer's ideas are really interesting. I was most confused about his idea of left-right brained.

As far as I see, this link was shared in this group a long time ago, but I've wanted to make it visible again so that you don't miss it. This is the last post coming from me for this week :).

-Why are you doing this? -I just felt like running!

Kiewslovski movie! I especially like the scene when father and son calculate whether the son could skate safely or not. He has a great deal of curiosity and father leads his motivation via scientific methods;)

definitely Sinem :)) you summarized the kid's motivation and situation very well :))

This testing is depend on ıtem response theory(IRT) that is about to measure students ability to ask questions by considering the previous answers. It is highly related to cognitive tutoring. At they point tutoring goes on during the testing process.

The article from International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education focuses on the hypothesis that an intelligent tutoring system that provides guidance with respect to students'meta-cognitive abilities can help them to become better learners.

I think the research design they follow is detailed, there is development of a model and then validation of it over time. I have checked one of the authors' recent publications and realized that he has researches on self-regulation during learning ,example-tracing tutors, interesting concepts to examine.

Here is an article on computer based tutoring and metacognition within the context of medical informatics.

This is an example of a physics tutoring system that is designed to be the homework component of an introductory physics course.

It was developed by the Pittsburg Science of Learning Center-LearnLab. We can check some of their recent research and projects at http://www.learnlab.org/

This article presents how much CTS improves the abstract reasoning component of word problem solving in Math. Abstract subtests were not as easy as concrete components. It leads me think again of deep learning with CTS. It is really controversial topic.
