Educators Need To Know about the Human Brain.
Brandt, Ron
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n3 p235-38 Nov 1999
John Bruer previously stated that "brain science has little to offer educational practice or policy" and urged attention to cognitive science. In conjunction with knowledge from other sources, neuroscience findings are yielding additional insights into the learning process. Educators should know about findings on enrichment, constructivism, and plasticity. (Contains 26 references.) (MLH)
