Learning Sciences

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

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.

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.

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.

"Will the day come when educators have ready access to brain-imaging machines to assist them in diagnosing reading or attention problems?" This question is important to answer, as many groups of students experience attention disorders.

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.

A new type of neurons that is believed to be the neural basis of empathy which is interpreted as a bridge between people in connecting their ideas, feelings, thoughts in shaping the world we live in.

Thank you Defne :-) I don't know why but I always like reading the issues we discuss in well-known magazines and this is one of them :-)) Up to know, we've mostly tended to make a link between feelings and psychology, but now we see that our feelings and actions are closely connected with neurons, smtg physical. I wish we could understand all its implications on education. Perhaps in the future...

I think that mirror neurons are really interesting to have such a function.

had fun while watching:) short sessions of Brain Gym exercise have been shown to improve response times and they may work because exercises improve alertness. So at least it helps at this time for me:)

Turkish students seem to improve in equality and some scores. And they are happy at school.

My recent blog post on PISA 2012: http://evrimbaran.com/?p=854

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 tried ''http://www.lumosity.com''. - 'Your brain's innate neuroplasticity gives it the ability to physically change in response to new, challenging experiences. Your Training Program is designed to harness this neuroplasticity and give your brain a personalized set of challenges.' I really would love to try the training programme, if it would be free :)

While giving super brilliant girl's example who has a problem in visiual process,she highlights awareness of students' deficiency signals and their acting outs. This explains why teachers should know about neuroscience and work with neuroscientists.

'What is the biological link between emotions, motivation and learning?' That link may help a lot to seek for possible answers: http://www.learner.org/courses/neuroscience/

This Matrix is divided into 5 "independent characteristics of meaningful learning environments" namely: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed. Each of these categories is aligned with five levels of technology integration in education, the total sum of which is 25 cells. And according to Arizona K12 Centre, "Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson. Each lesson is designed to show the integration of technology in instruction and classrooms as well as the Arizona Educational Technology Standards."
