Abstract

Researchers from Bath Spa University reported on work funded by the Wellcome Trust aimed at introducing concepts from cognitive neuroscience into initial teacher education (ITE). The approach taken is framed by the Core Content Framework and Early Career Framework but goes beyond this to take a deeper look at how the newly established field of educational neuroscience is beginning to identify a wider set of key concepts for informing teacher education and development. They presented examples of developments across the Bath Spa University PGCE Primary and Early Years curriculum to explore the challenges encountered and propose ways forward. This included a look at new open-access resources developed by the team.
