Learning happens through our engagement with information in relation to our own lives. Who we are affects what and how we learn. Learning often involves a physiological response, which is, among other things, influenced by our cultures (e.g., belief systems). Interpreting the world (e.g., learning) is biased according to our belief systems, which is connected to what we know (e.g., expertise, understanding, knowledge, experiences), and makes learning subjective. Insights drawn from neuroscience not only provide educators with a scientific basis for understanding some of the best practices in teaching, but also offer a new lens through which to look at the problems teachers grapple with every day. By gaining insights into how the brain works—and how students actually learn—teachers will be able to create their own solutions to the classroom challenges they face and improve their practice.
