Teaching in 2020: the impact of neuroscience

The brain has evolved to educate and to be educated, often instinctively and effortlessly. The brain is the machine that allows all forms of learning to take place— from baby squirrels learning how to crack nuts, birds learning to fly, children learning to ride a bike and memorising times-tables to adults learning a new language or mastering how to program a video recorder. Of course, the brain is also our natural mechanism that places limits on learning. It determines what can be learned, how much and how fast.
