دانلود کتاب NEUROTEACH – علم مغز و آینده آموزش

Teachers are brain changers. Thus, it would seem obvious that an understanding of the brain—the organ of learning—would be critical to a teacher’s readiness to work with students. A neuroteacher is therefore one who intentionally applies research from the field of mind, brain, and education science to his or her instructional design and work with every student. “We have learned more about how the brain actually learns in the past ten years than in the previous hundred” is a common phrase in this field, so with this in mind, should not all teachers be neuroteachers? Unfortunately, in traditional public, public-charter, private, parochial, and home schools across the country, most teachers lack an understanding of how the brain receives, filters, consolidates, and applies learning for both the short and long term. Such knowledge is not yet part of the formal training all teachers receive prior to entering the classroom. The grand national and international debate talks about standards and what students should know, but this unprecedented moment in time, where strands of neuroscience, cognitive science, and behavioral psychology are beginning to intersect in ways that are giving rise to actionable practices, research-informed and classroom-tested calls for more.
