Description

This is a core module for the MA/MSc in Educational Neuroscience, and is designed to provide a context for integrating material from developmental cognitive neuroscience and psychology of education. Topics covered include the underpinning philosophy and objectives of educational neuroscience, its application to literacy, numeracy, science education and socio-emotional development, and the potential of IT-based intervention strategies. There is an emphasis throughout on seminars alongside lectures in order to ensure robust discussions and exploration of the limitations and benefits of this new field. It also involves students presenting orally an outline of their dissertation research topics, so that these can benefit from similar scrutiny. This module is not available to students from outside the host programme.

Assessment for this module is via a presentation (20% weighting) and an essay (80% weighting). Students must achieve a pass grade in both assignments to pass the module overall.
