Recent advances in educational neuroscience research underscore the need for a comprehensive analysis of articles in this field; such scrutiny can elucidate the practical implications of neuroscience findings in education and illuminate future research directions. The purpose of this study was to conduct a descriptive content analysis of articles…

Although not a new phenomenon, the prevalence of student trauma has recently garnered national attention. This ongoing public health crisis hinders learning, connection, and the well-being of entire school communities. Often on the margins of conversations surrounding student needs or unable to access educational documents, music teachers seeking…

During adolescence, students experience a variety of biological changes in their bodies and brains. This Alliance for Excellent Education report argues that by understanding these changes--as well as the science behind student learning and development--education leaders can take advantage of this second critical window of development to support…

This report describes the current state of the art in artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential impact for learning, teaching, and education. It provides conceptual foundations for well-informed policy-oriented work, research, and forward-looking activities that address the opportunities and challenges created by recent developments in AI.…

"What does the brain have to do with learning?" "Prima facie", this may seem like a strange thing for anyone to say, especially educational scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. There are, however, valid objections to injecting various and sundry neuroscientific considerations piecemeal into the vast field of education. These…

Much of the neuroimaging research has focused on how mathematical operations are performed. Although this body of research has provided insight for the refinement of pedagogy, there are very few neuroimaging studies on how mathematical operations should be taught. In this article, we describe the teaching of algebra in Singapore schools and the…

Little of 150 years of research in Cognitive Neurosciences, Human Factors, and the mathematics of Production Management have found their way into educational policy and certainly not into the classroom or in the production of educational materials in any meaningful or practical fashion. Whilst more mundane concepts of timing, sequencing, spatial…

In recent years there have been growing calls for forging greater connections between education and cognitive neuroscience. As a consequence great hopes for the application of empirical research on the human brain to educational problems have been raised. In this article we contend that the expectation that results from cognitive neuroscience…

This article summarizes currently available brain research concerning relationships between singing and language development. Although this is a new field of investigation, there are findings that are applicable to general music teaching classroom. These findings are presented along with suggestions about how to apply them to teaching music.

Reviewed are theories and practices advocated by G. Doman and C. Delacato to remediate handicapping conditions in children. (CL)

States that performance in the 3R's improves as the metaphoric and creative capacities are nurtured and that it is an act of prejudice to eliminate from curricula access routes to the metaphoric capacities of human thought. Makes the case for inviting the metaphoric modes of knowing into the basic curriculum as well as to ensure access to the arts…

Argues against the theory of hemispheric dominance and discusses the dangers of developing an educational system based on the false assumptions of two-brain theories. (SRT)

Article discussed some educational implications of hemispheric lateralization of the human brain. (Editor/RK)

Examines both educational and neurological literature in an attempt to assess the relevance of cerebral lateralization as presently understood to education. (Author/RK)
