Reform Must be Based on How Learning Occurs

Brain.jpg Some of the best books on brain based learning are published by the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Paris, France. One is Understanding the Brain: The Birth of a Learning Science (2007). This downloadable, readable 263 page book summarizes current research from brain scientific findings for practical use in schools, early learning and lifelong learning. Its abundant bibliography and helpful footnotes generously amplify the text. Important world centers for research on learning, all initiated in the last few years include:

- International Mind, Brain and Education Society initiated at Harvard University but now independent.
- Centre for Neuroscience in Education at the University of Cambridge, UK.
- Learning Lab at the University of Aarhus, Danish University of Education, Copenhagen.
