If attention is misdirected, learning can get stuck.
– Dehaene, 2020:149
The quote above from one of the leading neuroscientists in the world, Stanislas Dehaene, makes clear that attention is crucial for learning. Our brain is always paying attention (Koenig, 2010). However – and perhaps to the frustration of many teachers – not always to what teachers would want.
In this module, you discover what neuroscience can teach us about directing your students’ attention to what you want them to learn.
