Syllabus
 

Modern technology has made possible the acquisition of new knowledge about how the brain processes information during the learning process.  This new knowledge has led to a new teaching and learning theory that is based on human physiology.  This theory is brain based learning. Brain based learning supports what we have learned about integrated learning and correlates with other learning theories such as constructivism, multiple intelligences and problem based learning. Our knowledge of how the brain learns indicates that many require a more holistic or integrated learning environment.

This graduate-level course is designed to give you an introduction to what has been learned about the brain and learning and to introduce you to ways to implement structures within your classroom that support brain based learning.
