Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.92,0:00:06.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Lia Commissar) Hi! This morning
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.50,0:00:08.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to talk about education and\Nneuroscience,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.77,0:00:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,both generally as a field \Nthat's developing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.96,0:00:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also, the specific work \Nthat we've been doing in this field.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.16,0:00:21.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Wellcome Trust -- OK --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.45,0:00:23.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Wellcome Trust, for those of you\Nwho don't know,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.24,0:00:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the second largest charitable \Nfoundation globally,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.25,0:00:27.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the aim of improving health.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.57,0:00:31.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it does that by funding lots of\Nbio-medical research, but also
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.57,0:00:33.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by funding work in the social science\Nand humanities,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.78,0:00:36.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,funding lots of education work,\Ndoing lots of engagement work
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.94,0:00:40.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also lots of policy work.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.33,0:00:43.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm going to talk through a few things\Nthis morning.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.95,0:00:46.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Firstly, what has neuroscience got to do\Nwith education?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.02,0:00:50.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What impact does it have on education\Nat the moment?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.37,0:00:53.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The work that we've been doing and then,\Nthinking about the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.95,0:00:58.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what has neuroscience got to do\Nwith education?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.43,0:01:01.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, if education is about \Nlearning something,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.48,0:01:03.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be it knowledge or a skill,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.64,0:01:05.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and neuroscience is the study of \Nthe nervous system and the brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.64,0:01:08.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then they're pretty linked, in my opinion.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.19,0:01:13.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's not new to kind of talk about\Nthe brain, in relation to education.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.58,0:01:16.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People have been discussing this, \Ncritiquing it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.03,0:01:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,debating it for lots of years.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.62,0:01:21.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is loads of research papers out there \Nwith titles such as
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.52,0:01:25.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"A Bridge too far", \N"Its a Prime time to build a bridge",
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.24,0:01:31.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"A two-way path is possible", \N"Booting the bridge from by thence". (check)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.63,0:01:33.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So lots of people have been talking \Nabout this bridge
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.75,0:01:35.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not many people have been building it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.84,0:01:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, this is kind of understandable
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.16,0:01:42.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because its probably only really in \Nthe last 10 years that neuroscience is,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.56,0:01:45.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the understanding from neuroscience \Nhas evolved significantly
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.84,0:01:49.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can start to think about how \Nit may have implications for the classroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.47,0:01:54.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is really exciting \Nand there is lots of potential
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.48,0:01:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and its really understanding,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.16,0:01:59.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can understand why teachers, \Nwhy policy makers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.28,0:02:05.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why technologists want to start applying \Nsome of these ideas to education.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.01,0:02:09.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But my word of warning that will go \Nthroughout this presentation
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.28,0:02:13.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really is about waiting and doing \Nthe research and finding out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.63,0:02:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether these things are actually going \Nto be helpful and impactful
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.55,0:02:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the classroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.42,0:02:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the other thing that I must say \Njust before i go on
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.56,0:02:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that I am not saying in any way that \Nneuroscience alone is the answer
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.80,0:02:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and its going to solve all our problems
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.58,0:02:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or can tell us everything \Nabout the classroom,:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.99,0:02:31.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's a very complex ecosystem.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.99,0:02:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, neuroscience is \Na kind of a new-ish field
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.05,0:02:40.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we can start using that\Nalongside psychology,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.58,0:02:44.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alongside educational research\Nand alongside teacher's knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.66,0:02:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to build something really good \Nfor the future
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.02,0:02:51.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see if we can start improving \Nlearning in the class room. 2.51
