Chapter Four - Social Neuroscience: AI for education

Abstract

While social neuroscience is still in its infancy, significant progress has been made in this discipline during the last 3decades. Education, health, and public policy are just a few of the many social contexts that can benefit from this developing field of interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding the biological components that underpin social structures, processes, and behavior. As a result of the field of cognitive neuroscience shifting its focus to this growing topic, social cognitive neuroscience formed as a unique subdiscipline. Investigating the neuronal bases of thought, this technique aims to analyze events by considering their interactions on multiple levels, including social, cognitive, and neurological. When the epidemic was at its height, online education was an essential component of the educational system at all levels. This study will investigate the effectiveness of distance learning for adult vocational education students enrolled in online computer science classes during the academic years 2020–21. The study's target population will be adult learners. Educational neuroscience and its influence on the maturation of children's brains are currently the subjects of research being conducted by scientists. They were given a questionnaire with 14 questions to answer regarding the amount of time they spent studying online. Six students presented arguments for why they prefer to receive their education in a traditional educational institution, while one student mentioned that he favors a hybrid model because it would provide lessons that would have both a physical and an online presence. During the investigation, it was found that one student prefers multiple regressions, which include both in-person and online courses. This information was uncovered because of the investigation. Furthermore, nine out of 10 students would rather participate in synchronous online instruction as opposed to asynchronous online training. In addition, seven out of 10 students who took part in the theoretical component of the course reported attaining or exceeding the learning objectives for the course. Despite this, six out of 10 of the students who participated in the sessions reported having trouble with the activity. Despite this, eight out of 10 people who were polled had the opinion that they were highly consistent in meeting the requirements of the course. The findings show that integrating concepts from educational neuroscience into effective online learning environments may be an important step toward achieving this target.
