A live webcast of the event will be available at http://www.calit2.net/webcast or mms://video.jsoe.ucsd.edu/live/salk/. This live webcast will be closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
THIS MORNING, just like any other school day in America, about 50 million students will head out for 100,000 public elementary and secondary schools to be taught by three and a half million teachers at an annual cost approaching 500 billion dollars. Add another six million students in private schools, 18 million in colleges, (plus two million more teachers), perhaps eight million more children in preprimary schools — and this morning, more than a quarter of the population of this nation is in classrooms of some kind, going about the business of educating. The business perhaps — but is there yet a science of educating?
|
|
The Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC) is one of six Scientific Learning Centers funded by the National Science Foundation. At the TDLC, we believe that part of the current crisis in education is the lack of scientific understanding of how the brain learns, and the lack of translation of this understanding to the classroom. And we propose, uniquely, that an essential and understudied element of learning that could have a powerful impact on the success of children in schools is the role of time and timing in learning. At this meeting, you will learn more about TDLC research.
|
|
You will also discover that this is a pioneering perspective. You will discover that there are skeptics who caution that: "Neuroscientific research, at this stage in its development, does not offer scientific guidelines for policy, pratice, or parenting." There are those who are troubled by the excessive claims made for so-called “brain-based education” (although what else would you use?), and for translational science. And you will learn about the science at the heart of the debate. What is neuroplasticity, why is it so important, and can it be used to enhance educational outcomes? You may have heard about the Mozart Effect — but what about the Spacing Effect? (It may not be as catchy – but what if you could remember more without studying longer?) And you’ll discover why robots in classrooms get the cold shoulder unless the timing is right.
|
| Brains R Us: The Science of Educating will offer a unique town hall forum for exploring these and other aspects of the educational conversation. We are aiming for a highly interactive group of researchers, educators, policy makers, parents and students (the ultimate end-users) to discuss the state of the science of educating from synapse to schoolroom, from neurons to neighborhoods. Join us — and discover why timing is everything. |

| As an extension to this event, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, Roger Bingham will videotape a conversation with Physics Nobel laureate, Dr. Leon Lederman. The conversation will be followed by a signing of Dr. Lederman's books The God Particle and Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe. This will offer attendees a unique opportunity to meet one of world’s most engaging Nobel laureates and leading spokesmen for science education. |
| This March 4th interview portion does not require pre-registration to attend and will not be live webcast or closed captioned. |
