is that future teachers need to be taught how
to take valid information and transfer it into
what they do with children. New discoveries
about the brain and how it learns are being
made every day. These discoveries are
challenging our beliefs and enriching what
we know about teaching, learning,
motivation, and human behavior. It seems
reasonable for future teachers to receive this
latest information in courses that help them
not only to learn the information from brain
research but also to transform it into
practice. Many educational psychology
textbooks contain good facts, and these
courses would be a good place for this
information. Ways to blend ideas from
cognitive science, development, and
motivation with neuroscience would provide
up-to-date information and help students
discern facts from fallacies.
