48: Educational Neuroscience Is Not Pop Science! Pearson's Mimma Mason Explains.

Mimma Mason is the Cogmed manager for Pearson Australia, and has previously been on the show to discuss working memory. But she also spends much of her time helping people understand the emerging field of educational neuroscience. Is it another band wagon, or pop science? We've asked this question before on the show, and it seems like the consistent message is that educational neuroscience is now increasingly informing educational practice and research. If it is for real, then how do we implement it? And what does this mean for future teacher education and professional development? In this episode, Mimma helps us understand what to make of it all.
