Introduction & Instructions:
Advances in neuroscience have helped us understand aspects of learning and cognition like never before. The field of affective neuroscience studies the relationship between the brain and emotions, and the content of this activity pays particular attention to the educational implications of recent research findings. Experts now proport that we can no longer think of “learning” and “emotions” as being separate from one another. Or in other words, students in the classroom build academic knowledge by integrating emotion and cognition in social contexts.
First, read the chapter provided for you. You will find special strategies for teachers outlined in the second part of the chapter.
Second, watch the short video from 2016 in which Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, one of the authors of the reading, presents a summary of these ideas at an Ed Talk at the American Educational Research Association.
