“…If teachers are better informed about the brain/body/behavior connection, they are less likely to believe neuromyths (Dekker et al, 2012;Torrijos-Muelas et al, 2021), such as "right-brain/left-brain learning". Additional neuroeducation also leads to more positive attitudes for teachers dealing with students with complex needs (Chang et al, 2021;Gola et al, 2022). Inservice teachers can bridge the knowledge gap by reading peer-reviewed publications or taking graduate courses in educational neuroscience (Torrijos-Muelas et al, 2021).…”

“…Since teaching is an interactive process between teachers and learners, the teachers' brain is also worth investigating [ 90 ]. In particular, future research down this trend could study the correlations between teachers' and learners’ brain activity on learning outcomes [ [91] , [92] , [93] ].…”

“…In recent decades, there has been increased theoretical interest in the connections between the mind, brain, and education ( Wilcox et al, 2021 ; Gola et al, 2022 ). As a result, a new field of research developed, which is referred to as educational neuroscience, neuropedagogy, or neuroeducation ( Uden and Guan, 2022 ).…”

Implementing digital neuroscience in special-needs-teacher education: exploring student-teachers’ multifaceted learning outcomes related to teaching children with neurodevelopmental disorders

IntroductionIn recent decades, there has been increased use of neuroscience in teacher education, which refers to applying knowledge from brain science to teaching. Similarly, digital learning has been extensively integrated into teacher education, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the benefits of assimilating educational neuroscience into special-education training—particularly using digital platforms–have yet to be examined. The current study explored the use of digitally-delivered educational neuroscience, related to neurodevelopmental disorders (ND), in teacher education, to gain insight into the learning outcomes alongside the contribution of the digital platform.MethodsEmploying a qualitative approach, we recruited 193 student-teachers who learned a digital ND-related neuroscience course. Data collection included open-ended reflections, open-ended story questions and five focus groups – all of which were analyzed using content analysis.ResultsFindings revealed a process involving four learning outcomes: understanding brain-based mechanisms of ND, enhanced empathy, extended perception of teachers’ professional role, and the design of pedagogical adaptations. The analysis also pointed out the various ways in which the digital platform facilitated these learning outcomes.DiscussionThe study provides theoretical insight into the role of digitally-delivered educational neuroscience in the service of inclusion. It further discusses the practical implications of using digitally-delivered educational neuroscience in teacher education to promote an inclusive pedagogy and best practices.
