Introduction

Learning is a process that takes place across multiple locations at once. As different parts of the brain work together to facilitate the complex process of learning at the neural level, the learner’s physiological state and simultaneous interactions with their learning environment work to either hinder or aid the process. As such, the full picture of learning can only emerge when it is painted from multiple perspectives as well as intersections of these diverse perspectives. This course will introduce students to the different perspectives in educational neuroscience, including that of cognition, neuroscience, developmental cognitive neuroscience, educational psychology, educational technology, education theory and other related disciplines.

This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Mind, Brain, and Education
FlexiMasters in Mind, Brain, and Education

Learners need to complete any of the following three sets of courses to attain the Graduate Certificate in Mind, Brain, and Education (12 AU):

  • MSL901A, MSL901B, and MSL901C  OR MSL901
  • MSL904A, MSL904B, and MSL904C  OR MSL904
  • MSL906A, MSL906B, and MSL906C  OR MSL906
  • MSL907A, MSL907B, and MSL907C  OR MSL907

Upon completion of the fourth set of courses, learners will fulfil the AU requirements to attain the FlexiMasters in Mind, Brain, and Education (16 AU).
