Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Educators are tasked with the ever-increasing demand to provide high-quality, individualized instruction for all types of learners in their classrooms. Individual differences facing educators require them to understand how to best meet children where they are and provide instruction to maximize their learning experience. This Special Issue on neuroeducation will provide a knowledge base on brain–behavior relationships related to instruction, assessment, and intervention, to assist cognitively diverse learners. We plan to explore major themes in the cognitive neurosciences that inform teaching and learning; fundamental information about how the workings of the brain and nervous system are influenced by learning in general and classroom performance in particular; and the instructional framework, which provides a cohesive structure for applying relevant findings to educational settings at all levels of instruction. This will be accomplished by examining the neuroscience of learning at the intersection of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, health, and education. Fundamental biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors will be examined, with an emphasis on critical functions related to learning and achievement across settings, age groups, and concepts, including epigenetics, sensitive periods, and neuroplasticity. In addition, factors that facilitate and roadblocks that inhibit the optimization of learning will be explored, and key neurocognitive constructs examined (language, attention, memory, executive functions, and affect/emotions).
