Topic:
Neuroscience and Education: Prime Time to Build the Bridge
Speaker:
Mariano Sigman
University of Buenos Aires
Introduce:
Around the globe, over 2 billion children attend school daily, in what constitutes the largest learning experiment ever attempted. For this reason, and because rising education inequality is among the gravest of the world’s problems, the time for evidence-based education has arrived, with ambitious goals for pedagogical experiments that may lead to breakthrough discoveries and translate to effective social improvement. Despite the obvious fact that education is constrained by the architecture and functioning of the human brain, neuroscience has remained distant from classrooms. However, this is beginning to change and in my talk I will discuss how our neuroscience methods, tools and theoretical frameworks have broadened our understanding of the mind in a way that might help improve educational practice.
