Emotional Connections in Math and Science
Gary Scott, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California, returns to the classroom as a researcher, seeking scientific evidence for how effective learning occurs.
Dr. Gary Scott, assistant professor of clinical education in USC’s Rossier School of Education, taught high school and middle school math and science. He discusses how neuroscience will provide scientific evidence for how effective learning occurs, and makes the case for researchers and teachers to work together to develop teaching methods that foster meaningful emotional connections to math and science.
