General Information

Overview

Recent research from neuroscience highlights the dynamic and interconnected nature of learning, emphasizing neuroplasticity and the brain’s ability to adapt and build new pathways. Understandings about the brain, its architecture and how it processes information provides evidence for how children learn and the implications for planning and enacting learning experiences with children. In this unit, you will examine your existing understandings about how the brain works and engage with the educational neuroscience and the application of this knowledge to the classroom context will be deepened. You will propose implications for teaching and outline some possible challenges that you may encounter as you begin to apply understandings from neuroscience.
