The Science of Learning Research Classroom (SLRC) was launched earlier this year at Melbourne University's Graduate School of Education. It is all about educational neuroscience and the high tech classroom enables researchers to examine what exactly occurs in the classroom. In the new classroom, researchers are able to sit behind a one way mirror and capture large amounts of data via radio microphones and high definition cameras. All this data in real time will allow researchers to try out new learning techniques and technologies and study student responses.
The Science of Learning Research Centre is supported by $16 million Commonwealth funding from ACER. The team comprises of 25 Chief investigators from nine research institutions across Australia. John Hattie is one of the investigators and as expected is excited by the project. He states
“We’re now able to bridge the gap between education and neuroscience, and learn more about the production, measurement and enhancement of learning,”
