Autumn 2011 Vol.5 No.1 - Mind, Brain and Education: Implications for Educators

This issue shows the convergence among the fields of psychology, education and neuroscience, how this is deepening what we know about learning, and how this can contribute to more meaningful experiences in classrooms and beyond.

The journal is available in multiple formats. The interactive version allows readers to turn pages, hear authors read their work, enjoy podcasts, and experience other media. The PDF version is easy to download and print. Printed, bound copies are also available. They can be purchased at lulu.com in black and white and color, and are priced at the cost of printing.
