Module overview

Of all the neurotransmitters in the brain, perhaps the most significant one from the teacher’s perspective is dopamine – the brain chemical associated with movement, attention, learning, and the brain’s pleasure and reward system. When there are low amounts of dopamine being produced, students won’t pay attention as much because they have no interest in the information being presented.

This module looks at how to use strategies based on neuroscience to promote creativity and novelty in the classroom. The module also considers the role of The Reticular Activating System and the Executive Attention Network of the brain in learning.
