Mind, Brain and Education
No. 126 JANUARY 2023
We have been discussing the bridge between neuroscience, psychology and education and how to make it more robust and keep it from falling for about a decade now. Teachers’ interest in learning more about the brain is enormous, as well as in understanding how children and young people learn and discover the most effective practices. However, neuromyths (false beliefs) are more present in schools than data from science and there is a conspicuous lack of concrete structures and mechanisms to bring neuroscientific knowledge and the learning process together.
This essay looks at the transdisciplinary field Mind, Brain and Education, describes its fundamentals and the obstacles it faces and explains how promising this interconnection can be for future education challenges.
Book recommended by the National Reading Plan.
