This course delves into the powerful ways cognitive science can transform teaching and learning. You will explore evidence-based strategies that not only optimize learning but also challenge common myths surrounding education. By examining how cognitive science principles like memory retention, attention, and motivation shape effective teaching, you’ll gain practical tools to design and evaluate innovative educational interventions.
Throughout the course, you'll engage with cutting-edge tools and methodologies, critically assessing their effectiveness in real classroom settings. From exploring proven strategies like retrieval practice and spaced repetition to evaluating the role of motivation in learning, this course equips you with the knowledge to create engaging, high-impact learning environments.
You’ll also have opportunities for hands-on learning, including case studies, collaborative projects, and quizzes. By the end, you will be ready to apply cognitive science to real-world educational challenges, confidently designing and assessing teaching strategies that truly make a difference.
I look forward to helping you develop a deep understanding of how cognitive science can inform and improve education at all levels!
