Editor's Notes
- I’m stella collins of stellar learning Excited by neuroscience and love l&D
- No – it’s a brain Currently all fascinated by brains Lots of neuroscience around – how many brains / neuroscience ideas have you seen in conference exhibition?
- Thousands of books alone L&D Economic Sports Marketing Business Even dogs
- Brain scans look great – we love them – easy to use to sell ideas what exactly do they tell us? – hard to understand – leads to dangers
- Dangers esp neuro-sceptics – rightly concerned about people using it incorrectly - They’re right – we don’t understand it all in detail We may feel undermined – lose confidence
- Danger of seduction of neuromyths – new neuromyths appearing al the time Neuro hype – people will get bored –but it’s useful as evidence for what we do well
- Dangers – we don’t usually learn in this environment Neuroscientists look at tiny part of picture – L&D operate in real world
- Not the full story - holiday snaps - reductionist
- expert in wider field Many infuences experience -– what L&D are doing in real world multi faceted - approach
- Don’t throw baby out Don’t stop doing good well tested learning because no obvious evidence Don’t throw the neuroscience out just because its hard or you think it’s a fad – it’s useful
- Do Have a good look Use it to shape your own practice and find evidence to back what you know works Experiment with new ideas
- Learning and science involve challenging Experimenting Changing ideas/ beliefs/ practise Asking questions – checking We need to be prepared to do that
- assess what’s good and what’s hype Blinding with science - It’s confusing – helps to have a guide through the maze 6 questions – not standalone but together can help identify what’s valuable neuroscience vs hype
- University / respected institute/ jo bloggs co ltd Major institutions can get it wrong- but just ask – to get bigger picture
- Pure research – doesn’t exist – Products to sell Sponsorship What else
- Respected peer reviewed doc – caveats and conditions explained Or the dailies – very distilled and simplified
- 20 year old research may be well evidenced –– or a blip Last weeks research – exciting but no time to replicate
- Double blind experiment? Statistics? Complex analysis Study size – typically small Peer reviewed
- Magic bullet or another piece in the puzzle – magic bullet not v reliable Real scientists use very cautious language
- When faced with neurohype Stand tall - be proud of what you know – Challenge neuroscience research and learn from it – knowing you’re an expert in your own field
