Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- characterize the issues related to the psychology of learning and neuroeducation;
- rely on the most up-to-date knowledge in the psychology of school learning in order to best guide students in their learning;
- describe and take a critical and documented look at the main cognitive and neurocognitive mechanisms involved in school learning;
- compare, implement and evaluate certain cognitive mechanisms in specific school tasks and take a reflective look at these practices;
- know the effects of learning and teaching on the brain;
- understand the pedagogical implications of this knowledge on the brain;
- judge the relevance of certain writings or certain practices implemented in the field;
- identify and distinguish neuromyths in order to highlight the erroneous elements they contain.
