Third International School On Mind, Brain And Education
2008 July 14-16
Neuroeducation:
New Perspectives
in Teaching and Learning
Directors: Antonio M. Battro and Kurt W. Fischer
Program officer: María Lourdes Majdalani
Neuroeducation is providing a new basis to expand our views on teaching and learning. (The educated brain; essays in neuroeducation, A.M. Battro, K.W. Fisher & P.J. Léna, Eds, Cambridge University Press, 2008). It is now appropriate to put together several trends in current education to discuss the impact of the neurocognitive sciences in the theory and practice of education. In particular the globalization of knowledge and technologies in the field of education offers new opportunities and challenges to interdisciplinary and international work and cooperation. This meeting should stress these global aspects, the change of scale of many programs, the teaching and learning of sciences in schools, in particular of the brain sciences,
the impact of the information and communication technologies in the children and their teachers, the new methods of evaluation in comparative studies around the world, the need for cohort studies and longitudinal studies of the individual mind and brain development, the new portable brain imaging in schools and the ethical implications involved.
This meeting provides the opportunity to the participants to discuss with leaders and experts some relevant current projects in the frontiers of education in America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Hopefully this will lead to further international collaboration and to new interdisciplinary and large initiatives at a global scale.
