Describe what it means to learn from a neuroscience perspective, and then use this conception of learning to describe what you will do as a teacher to help students learn.
What will be an ideal response?
Learning involves strengthening existing neural pathways or forming new ones, and in some cases development can require elimination of synapses through a pruning process. Practically, teachers should identify important skills or concepts and make sure they are reviewed and used on a regular basis, or the person’s ability to use these skills will weaken or disappear. Practice strengthens neural connections.
