This course has been developed by Amaya Alonso Cabria, in close collaboration with the School Education Gateway.

Educational neuroscience is born from the interaction and interrelation between three different fields of knowledge: Neurosciences, Psychology and Education. The objective of the intersection of these three disciplines is to improve classroom practice and achieve more efficient and satisfactory learning.

What is involved in this course is to provide participating teachers with knowledge about the functioning of the human brain and its relationship in the participation of different cognitive and behavioural functions, in such a way that they can use them in their teaching practice and learning.

    I just finished this course...it has been a really nice and meaningful experience! Much variety in its content (eg. videos, exercises, interaction with other participants) and much organization! I have gained some basic knowledge about neuroscience on education and can understand some relevant techniques I can use in the classroom as well as delve into this in more detail now. Thank you!

    This course helped me to improve my knowledge of the way the human brain works.

    Thus, I gained a better understanding of my students and I will be able to design more efficient learning activities. The course is very well organised and easy to follow at your own pace.

    I highly recommend it to you ! Enjoy !
