Description
Cognitive Neuroscience can offer great insights to educators. When we know that the brain is designed for finding meaning in the world, and how it does this, we can then design teaching practices that best utilise this. This course will explore:
- How the body, the brain and the world interact to develop deep knowledge and memory
- Movement and its relationship to learning
- How the brain works
- Neurons, networks and complexity
- Neuroplasticity and its significance for learning
- Mirror Neurons and special implications for music pedagogy
Most importantly, these ideas will be actively explored through activities that will lead to understanding of what the research looks like in practice in music education.
