Mind, Brain, and Education

Catalog description

This course provides students with knowledge from the neuro and cognitive sciences that can be applied in practice. This course begins with an introduction to mapping the physical features of the brain before leading into contemporary research on "brainbased" research and educational curricula and programs. Students will engage in examining research and separate "nureomyth" from "neuroscience" in order to be informed by new knowledge from the science of learning.
