Educational Neuroscience: Methods and Applications

Session Type: Professional Development Course

Abstract

Attendees of this 1-day course will be introduced to methods, applications, and related initiatives and issues pertaining to educational neuroscience, such as outreach and neuroethics. Methods include acquisition tools ranging from electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking (ET), to audiovisual, screen and keyboard capture, data analysis techniques for processing EEG and ET data, as well as ways for integrating, synchronizing, and interpreting such diverse data sets. Applications include qualitative and quantitative research in mathematics education and educational psychology. Especially geared toward those recognizing that cognition and learning are deeply embodied phenomena, this course will be of particular interest and benefit to new and seasoned educational researchers and administrators potentially seeking to incorporate similar approaches and/or facilities within their own research and institutions.
