Seventh International School On Mind, Brain And Education

Teaching: A New Frontier
of the Neurocognitive
Sciences, Education
and Culture
Directors: Antonio M. Battro and Kurt W. Fischer
Program officer: María Lourdes Majdalani
Teaching is a very special capacity that has evolved to reach a formidable social impact in the human species. Moreover teaching abilities start at early ages. We can now study the unfolding of the teaching capacities with the help of advanced digital technologies and brain images.
Cultures show different types of teaching behaviors and formal pedagogies that coexist in an increasingly globalized world. We expect to discuss some leading issues of this challenging and rapidly evolving educational landscape.
