This module aims to provide theoretical and practical foundations for the application of educational neuroscience concepts to teaching. Having a better understanding of the functioning of the brain leads to progressive changes in the teaching practices with a great impact on students’ cognitive abilities, motivation, self-esteem and general wellbeing. Such approach contributes to the development of the citizens’ mental capital (Beddington et al. The Mental Wealth of Nations, Nature 455, 1057-1060. 2008, https://www.nature.com/articles/4551057a).


By the end of the lesson participants will be able to:

  • recognize the characteristics of attention and memory and design the most effective activities to stimulate them.

  • explain how our ways of reasoning can often mislead us and apply some approaches to develop critical thinking.

  • rank study strategies based on their effectiveness and create better lessons with specific goals.

  • acquire a conceptual and practical “toolbox” needed to stimulate learning strategies appropriate for modern society.
