The Neuroscience Of Learning: 41 Terms Every Teacher Should Know by Judy Willis M.D., M.Ed., radteach.com As education continues to evolve, adding in new trends, technologies, standards, and 21st century thinking habits, there is one constant that doesn’t change. The human brain. But neuroscience isn’t exactly accessible to most educators, rarely published, and when it is, it’s often full of odd phrasing and intimidating jargon. As for the jargon, Judy Willis, teacher, neuroscientist, and consultant has put together an A-Z glossary of relevant neuroscience terms for teachers and administrators to help clarify the jargon. The best approach with a list like this is to bookmark and share the page, and comeback to it intermittently.

5 Tools to Help Students Learn How to Learn Helping students learn how to learn: That’s what most educators strive for, and that’s the goal of inquiry learning. That skill transfers to other academic subject areas and even to the workplace where employers have consistently said that they want creative, innovative and adaptive thinkers. Inquiry learning is an integrated approach that includes kinds of learning: content, literacy, information literacy, learning how to learn, and social or collaborative skills. “We want students thinking about their thinking,” said Leslie Maniotes a teacher effectiveness coach in the Denver Public Schools and one of the authors of Guided Inquiry: Learning in the 21st Century. “When they are able to see where they came from and where they got to it is very powerful for them.” A good example is a long term research project.

Apprentissage, motivation, émotion : comment apprenons-nous Le cerveau est l'objet le plus complexe de l'univers connu, et c'est de sa compréhension que dépendra l'avenir de nos technologies futures et singulièrement l'intelligence artificielle et la robotique. A l'Inria, Frédéric Alexandre dirige le projet Mnémosyne, chargé de développer des modèles computationnels de notre fonctionnement cérébral, dans le but de développer à terme des agents autonomes, robotiques ou logiciels, qui soient physiologiquement crédibles. Autrement dit, dont l'architecture sera analogue à celle du cerveau humain. Les sciences de l'esprit, sciences cognitives et neurosciences, ont fait des progrès ces dernières années et s'attaquent à des sujets de plus en plus difficiles, a-t-il expliqué en préambule. En neurosciences, on va de la recherche sur la vision à celle des fonctions exécutives. Mais finalement, quelle est la vraie question à se poser sur l'esprit humain ? Comment garder l’information importante Commençons par l’apprentissage. Le rôle des émotions

The dumbest generation? No, Twitter is making kids smarter Part of an occasional series about the way digital culture affects the way we think, learn and live. Sara: Haha there was a weird comercial for computers that had flying sumo wrestlers John: Hahaha saweeeeet I’m still tryin to picture how that works Sarah: Haha yeah so am I this opening ceremony is so weird John: It must be Sarah K: Now there’s little kids doing karate This is a typical teenage text exchange captured by an academic. Add five hours or so a day spent online, where the most common activity is yet more typing away on social networks. This outpouring often produces an anguished outcry, particularly in September as kids head back to school and screen time starts competing with homework: Technology, pundits warn, is zombifying our young and wrecking their ability to communicate clearly. But is this actually “the dumbest generation”? In fact, there’s powerful evidence that digital tools are helping young people write and think far better than in the past. Literate? It hadn’t.

Échec scolaire Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L'échec scolaire est le phénomène des élèves quittant les systèmes scolaires modernes sans qualification ou diplôme et plus largement ayant des difficultés d'apprentissage. Notion d'échec scolaire[modifier | modifier le code] Ainsi, la notion d'échec scolaire est complexe car elle est au croisement de plusieurs disciplines (sociologie, psychologie, pédagogie, etc.) et pôles d'intérêt (politique, économique, etc). Par exemple on peut dire que : D'un point de vue logique un élève en échec scolaire est potentiellement une personne qui ne pourra pas assurer son avenir, celui de ses proches (solidarité intergénération, éducation, etc.), et assurer des revenus financiers à l'État (ratio aides-perçues/prélèvements-obligatoires) s'il possède une once de créativité et s'il sait travailler de ses mains. L'échec scolaire peut se lire de plusieurs façons. Conséquences[modifier | modifier le code] Statistiques[modifier | modifier le code]

22 Ways To Use Twitter For Learning Based On Bloom's Taxonomy Last year we created a “twitter spectrum,” an image that clarified different ways that twitter could be used in the classroom in (hopefully) authentic ways. TeachBytes has followed that up with an excellent graphic of their own that uses a pure Bloom’s Taxonomy approach.
