Educational Neuroscience: Research-Led Teaching Approaches
Learn Path Description
Discover educational neuroscience and its impact on 21st century education. Learn about the importance of neuroscience in education This teaching ExpertTrack design by CQUniversity introduces you to the basics of neuroscience in learning. You’ll study our uniquely human brain - looking at the central nervous system, the limbic system and the concept of neuroplasticity – and discover what it means for memory and learning in the brain. Identify the most common neuromyths in education When it comes to educational neuroscience, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction. You’ll identify some of the most widely accepted neuromyths within the teaching community. By debunking any false ideas about the brain and learning, you can apply your learnings from this course with confidence. Improve your understanding of learning and memory formation Discover the role of social-emotional learning in the classroom and the link between stress and memory. We’ll look at the application of neuroscience in educational theory, focusing on research by Dr Louis Cozolino concerning the evolution of the social brain and ‘Nine things educators need to know about the brain’, you’ll have a better understanding of brain-based learning within different contexts. Discover how to maximize students’ learning in the classroom as we examine leading-edge research into neuroplasticity Become a more effective educator with contemporary insights into the brain which will help you develop optimal learning experiences and neuroplasticity activities in the classroom that you can use right away. Find out how to design lesson plans that improve learning capacity and memory, using the latest research-based teaching strategies emerging from educational neuroscience. You’ll also look at the practical application of neuroscience research in education and leadership to create optimal learning environments. Develop your leadership skills as an educator by studying the field of neuroleadership 21st century learning is changing at a rapid pace due to increasing evidence-based research into educational neuroscience (brain science). As educators, we need to capitalize on these new opportunities. This ExpertTrack teaches you how to apply neuroscience in leadership to create trusting team environments and build a culture of feedback.

Orientation to Educational Neuroscience
The future of neuroscience and technology is exciting. Evidence-based findings from Brain Science (Educational Neuroscience) are changing the way that educators can enhance and change education.
This course will provide learners with current insights into the brain which will help them in their professional practice and enable them to create optimal learning environments. This course, which is based on Dr Louis Cozolino’s research regarding the evolution of the social mind and Nine things educators must know about the brain's functions, explores the best and worst learning environments for 21st century students.

Learning and Memory: Understandings from Educational Neuroscience
This course introduces the unique human brain. It also provides an overview about the central nervous system, limbic system, and neuroplasticity. Social interaction is key to how emotions signal and initiate the processing and placement information in the brain. This course will provide an overview of memory formation and learning. It will also focus on the brain's response to different emotional and arousal state. Students will be able to see how the limbic system's amygdala can imbue memories and events with emotional meaning. It can also trigger fear responses that go beyond the rational processes in the prefrontal cortex. This can lead to the prefrontal cortex being hijacked by stimuli such as anger and chronic stress. We will discuss the effects of stress on learning, memory, and authentic assessment forms to promote content retention.

Neuroplasticians and Neuromyths
This course introduces students to the most recent strategies from Educational Neuroscience. These guidelines provide useful guidelines for neurologically-friendly principles from the disciplines Psychology, Education and Neuroscience. They also emphasize contemporary Educational Neuroscience. There are many neuromyths and educators are often at the forefront of dispelling them. These misconceptions are exposed in this sample course. This course is part our Study with Australia collection. It includes free upgrades and digital certificates that are supported by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission up to 31 July 2020.

Neuroleadership and Conceptual Approaches in Educational Neuroscience
There are thousands of research papers on the brain each month, and there is a growing collaboration among neuroscientists and educators. This is a great time to stay up-to-date on the latest neurological approaches to education theory and practice. This course focuses on the practical application neuroscience research (the study and analysis of the brain and nervous system) to education and leadership. It aims to foster trust, team environment and culture of feedback. In the past fifteen years, neuroscience research has been a major focus of education and leadership. This online course will help educators and leaders to use the latest research findings in a simple and meaningful manner.
