Identifying and sharing new developments in learning, promoting their application by connecting ideas with practice
Learning Skills Research Foundation is an independent charitable organisation devoted to improving the quality of learning. It raises funds for scientific research, public lectures and policy development in the revolutionary field of educational neuroscience and for other academic research programmes that will lead to the discovery of new learning techniques.
We focus on ‘how people learn’ as opposed to ‘what people learn’. We are closely engaged with the Centre for Educational Neuroscience (CEN) and others working in the fields of neuroscience and education with the principal aim of providing a bridge between the latest academic discoveries about how the brain functions and the teaching community.
We work to promote vital dialogue that will enhance understanding of the underlying processes of how brains encode learning of new information and concepts. This will allow us to shape education for all in the future based on universal, evidence-based principles rather than constantly changing theories and policies of the day. Our aim is to come up with practical solutions and we have established Learnus® as a think tank to pave the way.
