INTED2019 - Barbara Oakley - How Neuroscience Is Changing What We Know about Learning

iated.org/inted
How can neuroscience help to learn better and improve teaching practices?
Barbara Oakley’s keynote will provide practical insights, using recent light microscopy imagery and neural animations, about how the brain learns. By seeing the restrictions of working memory, you’ll gain a better idea of how to structure teaching to avoid student cognitive overload.
And by understanding the changes that good teaching can make in students’ brains, you’ll gain a better idea of how to help students neurally encode information, concepts, and techniques into long-long term memory-the essence of learning.
