Beskrivning

The 'BrainCanDo' Handbook of Teaching and Learning provides teachers and school leaders with a concise summary of how some of the latest research in educational neuroscience and psychology can improve learning outcomes. It aims to create a mechanism through which our growing understanding of the brain can be applied in the world of education. Subjects covered include memory, social development, mindsets and character. Written by practising teachers working in collaboration with researchers, the chapters provide a toolkit of practical ideas which incorporate evidence from psychology and neuroscience into teaching practice with the aim of improving educational outcomes for all. By increasing both teachers’ and pupils’ understanding of the developing brain, ‘BrainCanDo’ aims to improve cognitive performance and attainment, foster a love of learning and enable a healthy and productive approach to personal development. This book will appeal to educators, primarily those working in secondary schools, but also those within higher and primary school education. It will also be of interest to students of education, professionals looking to enhance their teaching and researchers working in the fields of education, psychology and neuroscience.

Recensioner i media

BrainCanDo aims to develop an educational approach informed by the latest evidence in educational neuroscience and psychology. What impressed me most… in this volume, is the commitment of BrainCanDo to leverage the latest research in the learning sciences into practical strategies to improve teaching. What most sets this volume apart from others in the field is its focus on adolescence. The second crucial strength of this volume is how it encourages a culture of research – that at all levels of education, teaching should be informed by evidence.Michael S. C. Thomas, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Birkbeck, University of London and Director of the University of London Centre for Educational Neuroscience.
