Science Bar: “Can Neuroscience Help Education?”

LIVE on theUM YouTube channel.

Thanks to advances in neuroscience, it is now easier to analyze the brain’s mechanisms and the way we process and store information. Among other things, these advances make it possible to refine learning methods tailored to children, with the goal of helping students succeed in school.

But neuropedagogy raises many questions among teachers and parents, including:

• What is the actual contribution of neuroscience to education?
• Do the cognitive sciences provide teachers with insights to help them adapt their teaching practices so that every student can take control of their own learning and success?
• How can we reconcile insights from neuroscience with the diversity of learning styles?

To discuss this topic, this Science Bar will feature three speakers:

• Gina Devau, Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier. President of the Comédie des neurones.
• Bénédicte Gendron, Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuropsychology, University Professor of Education Sciences at Paul Valéry University.
• Nicolas Saby, Ph.D. in Mathematics, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier, and Director of the Department of Science Education and Educational Research.
