EDCT 5811 - Book Study: Using Neuroscience to Create Equitable and Inclusive Classroom

Delivery Options Distance Learning

Course Description

This course untangles scientific fact from pedagogical fiction, debunking dozens of widely held beliefs about the brain that have made their way into the education literature. In ten central themes on topics ranging from brain structure to classroom environments, the course traces the origins of common neuromyths—from categorizing individuals as "right-brained" or "left-brained" to prevailing beliefs about multitasking or the effects of video games—and corrects the record with the most current state of knowledge.
