Many teachers focus mainly on what to teach, but it is equally important to understand how students learn. This course will provide you with insights from cognitive psychology and neuroscience that you can immediately apply to your teaching. We will focus on how basic cognitive processes—memory, attention, comprehension, problem-solving, and learning as a process—work.

We'll show you how to help students learn new material effectively and create an environment that fosters deeper understanding and long-term retention of knowledge.

You will gain practical tools, such as strategies to improve attention and concentration in the classroom, approaches to repetition and consolidation of information, as well as techniques that promote autonomous learning in students and lead to higher motivation. You will learn how to work with a variety of learning styles and identify barriers to learning.

The course will take the form of interactive workshops where you will put your new knowledge into practice. Together, we will create a space for sharing experiences and discussing the real challenges of teaching.
