Description

Brain-Based Learning and Education presents a new type of education that uses brain-based and self-control theory-driven training. Leaving aside the current focus in education on content knowledge, it examines essential character strengths such as selfcontrol, persistence, creativity, attention, memory, and social learning, and relates their relevance to learning. By bridging the research and application gap in education, this text not only covers the latest findings related to learning and teaching but also provides insights for application and practice for brain-based methods in health and education. This integration of neuroscience and education takes us from a deep understanding of brain function to the frontline of the classroom.

Explains an integrative training mechanisms from the behavioral, neuroscientific, and physiological perspectives
Presents brain-based practice methods that can be readily applied to the education system
Addresses additional issues, such as stress, wandering mind, and individuality
Includes stories and findings related to the brain, learning, and teaching
