Abstract

The development of information technology has drove the large revolution of brain science and made it go into the new development stage. The new development of brain science must deeply influence the education, especially for the early education, which makes our attention focus on how to develop children brain again. From the world developments of the research of “brain science and education”, in this article, we will research the revelations of the concepts such as “learning” and “education” in the domain of the cognitive neuroscience and the development of brain science on the early education.

Highlights

  • In 1999, the CERI of OECD put forward the first research plan (1999-2001) of “learning science and brain science”

  • There were two topics in Granada forum, one was to apply up to date results of cognitive neuroscience to the educational domain by the simple and pellucid form, and another one was to apply brain function imaging technology to find that the brain in the youth period (20-30 years old) was still in the growth

  • US National Science Foundation (NSF) and Finance Ministry put forward the research project to develop and comprehensively improve human ability and technology in Dec of 2001, and they integrated multiple subject researches to promote the strategic development of brain science and education research project

Summary

The research developments of OECD

In 1999, the CERI of OECD put forward the first research plan (1999-2001) of “learning science and brain science”. The New York forum mainly discussed the brain plasticity and the child special sensitivity period, reported some problems about early education and brain science, such as language study, early cognitive ability, reading structure, mathematic thinking and feeling growth. US mainly researched the relationship between language and brain, Europe mainly researched the relationship between arithmetic and math with brain, and Japan mainly assumed the research about the combinations of brain and education such as lifelong learning and human observation ability, memory and “desire”. These researches had produce large influence in many countries and been changing the educational policy and educational practice of many countries. The report called on the education science should cooperate with brain science to establish a new subject, i.e. the learning science, and made the education decision and education practice obtain stable scientific proofs
