Neuroscience in Education

The brain is the seat of all learning, giving students an understanding of simple brain insights complements education for better student outcomes. For example, research confirms, by teaching the concept of neuroplasticity: *“Results show that inducing a growth mindset by teaching neuroplasticity has an overall positive effect on motivation, achievement, and brain activity.

The results also reveal that this intervention seems more beneficial for at-risk students, especially regarding mathematics achievement." The simplicity of practical neuroscience means teachers require no expertise to embed brain-based principles into the classroom.
