生物学和神经科学方面的进步向我们展示了孩子的大脑和认知发展如何受到其学习经历和环境的影响。现在我们知道，自然比我们想象的要流动和复杂得多，而不是辩论自然与培育。反过来，学习会影响大脑及其功能。在“思维，大脑和教育（MBE）计划”中，您将学习认知科学的最新发现如何影响教育的基本问题，例如人们如何学习以及我们可以做些什么来改善学习。MBE课程为学习和发展科学，教学原理和研究方法提供了广泛的基础，使我们能够在生物学过程和教育成果之间建立牢固的联系。该课程为学术研究人员和专业教育者提供了很好的准备。您将学习一门课
Advances in biology and neuroscience are showing us how a child's brain and cognitive development are shaped by his or her learning experiences and environment. Instead of debating nature versus nurture, we now know that nature is much more fluid and complex than we ever imagined. Learning, in turn, affects the brain and its capacities. In the Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) Program, you will learn how the latest findings in cognitive science bear on fundamental questions of education, such as how people learn and what can we do to improve learning. Interdisciplinary by Design – The MBE Program focuses on tackling questions that exist at the intersection of multiple disciplines. The curriculum draws connections between cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, education, anthropology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, and other fields and Seminar in Mind, Brain, and Education – This yearlong course is designed to help students think critically about research methodology and be well-informed consumers of scientific findings as they bear on issues of practice and policy. The course consists of two parts: 1) attendance at the MBE Lecture Series which features monthly lectures by prominent researchers, 2) monthly meetings with researchers from the lab/team of the lecturer to share behind the scenes perspectives and to engage in discussions about translational potential for teaching and learning in educational settings.
