Neuro education: the contributions of science for the benefit of learning
Neuroeducation is the process of teaching in a way that best fits the brain's abilities and how it works. Neuroeducation is an area of study that combines neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and education. Its goal is to find better ways to teach.
Neuroeducational research combines findings about memory, learning, language, and other areas of cognitive neuroscience (Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, Computer Science, and Neuroscience) to help teachers figure out the best ways to teach and help students learn.
With the help of new brain imaging techniques, this neuroscientific method, which is very popular in Canada, looks at how the brain works when we are learning (reading, writing, and solving problems).
So, neuroeducation tells us what goes on in our brains when we do cognitive tasks, which means it can help us understand some problems.
These learning problems may have biological reasons, like dyslexia, math problems, trouble focusing, and so on.
So, this study is a great way to learn about how to teach and is also very interesting for improving how schools adapt.
Doctor Pierre Huc said, "The goal of neuroeducation is to bring together the most intimate parts of how the brain works with the ways we teach."
It makes sense that the ones that work with our brain's natural circuits and activations are more effective than the ones that don't work at all with them, like the global way.
Neuroeducation is based on the amazing progress made in neuroscience and the tools used to study the brain, especially imaging techniques. It's clear that it doesn't involve messing with the brain.
Abuse is looked out for by the National Ethics Committee, which also forbids abusive neurostimulation. As instructed by Dr. Bousser, he writes in Opinion No. 116: "The desire to use this technique is just as questionable when it comes to improving the cognitive abilities of a human being in a normal situation, in the same way that taking medications without a good reason does the same thing."
As we look at this outline of transhumanism, we should be careful not to miss the point or overestimate what neuroimaging can do by getting beyond the medical framework.
We can ask ourselves why the line between biology and experimental sciences and human sciences is still so strong. It is both interesting and hard to cross.
But when they work together, they can make a beautiful symphony, and Neuroeducation seems to be the new chorus. Let's not close the pit before we hear it open...
"One of the best things about modern neuroscience is that it has shown that in humans, you can't think of the cultural without thinking of the biological, and you can't have the cerebral without having a strong bond with the environment."
