Recommendation

Researcher and educational expert Dr. Marilee Bresciani Ludvik and more than a dozen colleagues explore the complex relationship between neuroscience and learning in higher education. Together, she and her contributors provide insights into how educators can utilize neuroscience research to enhance student learning, confidence and well-being. This includes integrating mindfulness, compassion and hands-on learning into the postsecondary curriculum – a valuable starting point for those seeking to incorporate neuroscience insights into teaching practices.

Take-Aways

  • Modern neuroscience reveals components of learning that US higher education could implement and benefit from.
