Engaging teenagers from a distance
Tuesday 14 April, 15:00 – 16:00 | Herbert Puchta
Recent findings in cognitive sciences indicate that emotional processes significantly impact the outcomes of the teaching / learning process. We will look at the challenges when trying to engage students from a distance. We will argue the formation of memories and their integration with students’ prior knowledge depend on the activation of the brain’s emotion systems, and we will make suggestions aimed at making distance learning a more rewarding experience
