Cognitive neuroscience in education

Description 

This course is offered by the MSc SmartEdTech

Advances in neuroscience and cognitive psychology allow us to optimize learning by understanding how the brain works and by proving or disproving the effectiveness of certain techniques and the truthfulness of certain beliefs (i.e., neuromyths). This course, therefore, presents the main learning mechanisms and concrete examples of application in learning situations. Students will have to think about their teaching posture and/or their way of creating pedagogical tools in the light of the elements presented.
