Download or read book The Teaching Brain written by Vanessa Rodriguez and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A significant contribution to understanding the interaction among teachers, students, the environment, and the content of learning” (Herbert Kohl, education advocate and author). What is at work in the mind of a five-year-old explaining the game of tag to a new friend? What is going on in the head of a thirty-five-year-old parent showing a first-grader how to button a coat? And what exactly is happening in the brain of a sixty-five-year-old professor discussing statistics with a room full of graduate students? While research about the nature and science of learning abounds, shockingly few insights into how and why humans teach have emerged—until now. Countering the dated yet widely held presumption that teaching is simply the transfer of knowledge from one person to another, The Teaching Brain weaves together scientific research and real-life examples to show that teaching is a dynamic interaction and an evolutionary cognitive skill that develops from birth to adulthood. With engaging, accessible prose, Harvard researcher Vanessa Rodriguez reveals what it actually takes to become an expert teacher. At a time when all sides of the teaching debate tirelessly seek to define good teaching—or even how to build a better teacher—The Teaching Brain upends the misguided premises for how we measure the success of teachers. “A thoughtful analysis of current educational paradigms . . . Rodriguez’s case for altering pedagogy to match the fluctuating dynamic forces in the classroom is both convincing and steeped in common sense.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Mind Brain and Education Science A Comprehensive Guide to the New Brain Based Teaching written by Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing the parameters and goals of the new field of mind, brain, and education science. A groundbreaking work, Mind, Brain, and Education Science explains the new transdisciplinary academic field that has grown out of the intersection of neuroscience, education, and psychology. The trend in “brain-based teaching” has been growing for the past twenty years and has exploded in the past five to become the most authoritative pedagogy for best learning results. Aimed at teachers, teacher trainers and policy makers, and anyone interested in the future of education in America and beyond, Mind, Brain, and Education Science responds to the clamor for help in identifying what information could and should apply in classrooms with confidence, and what information is simply commercial hype. Combining an exhaustive review of the literature, as well as interviews with over twenty thought leaders in the field from six different countries, this book describes the birth and future of this new and groundbreaking discipline. Mind, Brain, and Education Science looks at the foundations, standards, and history of the field, outlining the ways that new information should be judged. Well-established information is elegantly separated from “neuromyths” to help teachers split the wheat from the chaff in classroom planning, instruction and teaching methodology.
Download or read book Educational Neuroscience in the Classroom written by Giancarlo Gola and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human brain, as described by Crick, is nothing more than a complex network of neurons; a statement which is as reductive as it is fascinating. There has been a growing interest in neuroscience in relation to education. Schools are eager to understand how the brain functions to improve teaching and learning. The central challenge for educational neuroscience lies in using brain research to inform educational practices and understand the cognitive processes behind learning. Imaging has opened up new research territories, including brain exploration. Learning appears, in fact, to occur primarily through changes in the strength and number of connections between existing neurons, a process called synaptic plasticity. Neural pathways, learning and “new knowledge” are optimized when ideas are considered from a multidimensional approach.
