• In Event: 41.083 - Roundtable Session 15

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

With the development of various technology, such as fMRI, EEG, fNIRS, and the emerging innovative research methods connecting mind, brain and education, we are able to delve deep into the knowledge bases of educational equity. This symposium focuses on the questions of (1) how the brain and cognitive research cracks the knowledge bases of educational equity, how the disadvantage factors such as poverty, anxiety etc, affects the learners brain and cognition, and (2) what does education function to facilitate the development of the human brain and cognition, and (3) how to improve the education quality of underserved learners with the new emerging knowledge bases of the educational equity.
