The science of learning spans many disciplines (neuroscience, cognitive psychology, sociology, education, etc.) and can be investigated at all levels of analysis from the cellular and molecular bases to the application of principles in formal and informal learning environments. This course will offer an introduction to the fundamental issues in this area as they relate to educational research and practice, broadly defined. We will read primary and secondary sources that offer insights into how people learn, how we study learning, and how to take this information from the laboratory to the classroom.
