Cognitive neuroscience is making rapid strides in areas highly relevant to education. However, there is a gulf between current science and direct classroom applications. Most scientists would argue that filling the gulf is premature. Nevertheless, at present, teachers are at the receiving end of numerous 'brain-based learning' packages. Some of these contain alarming amounts of misinformation, yet such packages are being used in many schools. What, if anything, can neuroscientists do to help good neuroscience into education?
认知神经科学在与教育高度相关的领域正取得迅速进展。然而,当前的科学研究与直接的课堂应用之间存在着巨大差距。大多数科学家会认为弥合这一差距还为时过早。尽管如此,目前教师们正成为众多“基于大脑的学习”教学包的接受者。其中一些教学包包含大量令人担忧的错误信息,但此类教学包仍在许多学校被使用。神经科学家能做些什么(如果有的话)来帮助将优秀的神经科学知识引入教育领域呢?
