Children go to school to learn, and learning takes place in the brain. In the age period of formal schooling, a child’s brain is still undergoing major developmental changes. For these reasons, neuroscience (the study of the brain) and education are closely connected. Learning is possible because the brain is plastic: plasticity refers to the capacity of the brain to reorganize its structure and thereby change function and behavior. But what exactly changes in the brain when we learn something new? What are optimal conditions for the brain to learn? Why do we also forget things? What developmental changes occur in the brain during childhood and adolescence, and how are these processes diff...
Kinderen gaan naar school om te leren, en leren gebeurt met de hersenen. In de tijd dat kinderen naar school gaan, ondergaan hun hersenen nog grote veranderingen. Daarom zijn de neurowetenschappen (de studie van de hersenen) en onderwijs nauw met elkaar verbonden. Leren is alleen mogelijk omdat de hersenen plastisch zijn: plasticiteit verwijst naar het vermogen van de hersenen om hun structuur te reorganiseren en daardoor functie en gedrag te veranderen. Maar wat verandert er precies in de hersenen als we iets nieuws leren? Wat zijn de optimale omstandigheden voor de hersenen om te leren? En waarom vergeten we ook dingen? Welke ontwikkelingsveranderingen treden op in de hersenen tijdens de k...
As crianças vão para a escola para aprender, e essa aprendizagem acontece a nível do cérebro. Em idade escolar, o cérebro da criança está ainda a sofrer alterações significativas no que toca ao seu desenvolvimento. É por este motivo que a neurociência (ciência que estuda o cérebro) e a educação estão muito interligadas. Aprender é possível porque o cérebro é plástico: esta plasticidade é entendida como a capacidade que o cérebro tem de reorganizar a sua estrutura, levando a alterações de função e comportamento. Mas o que muda exatamente no cérebro quando aprendemos algo novo? Quais são as condições ótimas para o cérebro conseguir aprender? Porque é que nos e...
Los niños asisten a la escuela para aprender, y el aprendizaje tiene lugar en el cerebro. En el periodo de escolarización formal, el cerebro de un niño o niña aún está experimentando importantes cambios en su desarrollo. Por estas razones, la neurociencia (el estudio del cerebro) y la educación están estrechamente relacionadas. El aprendizaje es posible porque el cerebro es plástico: la plasticidad se refiere a la capacidad del cerebro para reorganizar su estructura y cambiar así la función y el comportamiento. Pero ¿Qué cambia exactamente en el cerebro cuando aprendemos algo nuevo? ¿Cuáles son las condiciones óptimas para que el cerebro aprenda? ¿Por qué también olvidamos...
Kinder gehen in die Schule, um zu lernen, und das Lernen findet im Gehirn statt. Während der Zeit der formalen Schulbildung entwickelt und verändert sich das Gehirn eines Kindes weiterhin stark. Deshalb sind die Neurowissenschaften (die Erforschung des menschlichen Gehirns) und die Bildung eng miteinander verbunden. Lernen ist nur möglich, weil das Gehirn plastisch, also formbar, ist. Mit Plastizität ist die Fähigkeit des Gehirns gemeint, seine Struktur umzugestalten und dadurch verschiedeneFunktionen und auch das Verhalten zu verändern. Aber was genau verändert sich im Gehirn, wenn wir etwas Neues lernen? Was sind die optimalen Bedingungen für das Gehirn, um zu lernen? Warum vergess...
Les enfants vont à l’école pour apprendre, et l’apprentissage se fait dans le cerveau. A l’âge de la scolarisation formelle, le cerveau d’un enfant subit encore des changements développementaux majeurs. Pour ces raisons, les neurosciences (étude du cerveau) et l’éducation sont étroitement liés. Apprendre est possible car le cerveau est plastique : la plasticité désigne la capacité du cerveau à réorganiser sa structure et ainsi modifier ses fonctions et son comportement. Mais qu’est ce qui change exactement dans le cerveau lorsque nous apprenons quelque chose de nouveau ? Quelles sont les conditions optimales pour que le cerveau apprenne ? Pourquoi oublions-nous aussi...
This Handbook explores the multidisciplinary field of childhood studies through a uniquely global lens. It focuses on enquiries and investigations into the everyday lives of young children in the age range of birth to 8 years of age, giving space to their voices and involving interrogations about the various aspect of their lives. This Handbook engages with the interdisciplinary field of childhood studies, education, cultural studies, ethnography, and philosophy, with contributions from scholars from across the globe who have focused their work on the complexities of childhoods in contemporary times. By considering a range of epistemologies, ontologies and perspectives to present the contemporary & systematic research on the topic from a wide range of academics and authors in the field, this Handbook provides a significant contribution to the international dialogue of Global Childhoods. Part 1: Global Childhoods Part 2: Researching Global Childhoods Part 3: Contemporary Childhoods Part 4: Pedagogies and Practice Part 5: Creating Communities for Global Children
As Stiles shows, brain development is far more complex and dynamic than is often assumed in debates about nature vs. nurture, nativism vs. cultural learning. Inherited and experienced factors interact constantly in an ever-changing organism. The key question is, what developmental processes give rise to particular structures or mechanisms?
