Episode description
Many people expect neuroscience to change our understanding of education.
Michael Thomas (Birkbeck University) is director of the Centre for Educational Neuroscience in London.
In this episode, Michael talks about what educators need to know about how the brain works, avoiding ‘disciplinary wars’ between psychology & neuroscience, and the need to balance a ‘medical model’ of learning with societal concerns about education.
