Sticky Learning How Neuroscience Supports Teaching That's Remembered

Educators are engaging with neuroscientists to reshape classroom practices, content delivery, curriculum design, and physical classroom spaces to enhance students' learning and memory, primarily in elementary and secondary education. Why not in seminary education? An overview of brain-friendly approaches to teaching enables seminary instructors to make concrete modifications in the structure and content of what they teach, making learning more 'sticky.' Inglis's synopsis of the use of neuroscience in the classroom and suggested action is followed by a collaborative dialogue with Dawson and Nishioka. --Book cover.
