Modern

Education is
Open Minded
Neurodidactics

is a new way of teaching that blends education

and neurology. At the same time, it gives
educational psychology a fundamental role in
children’s development.
Teachers are encouraged to look for strategies
that optimize the neural functioning of
children. Some of these strategies consist of
taking advantage of their sensory perceptions,
working with memory, and capturing the
attention and stimulus of their students.
How to apply neurodidactics in the classroom?

The first is creating a positive classroom environment.

Furthermore, they should consider the following:
1. The closeness and empathy of teachers with students
makes a big difference. 
2. Classrooms should be free of excessive stress, as this is
harmful to learning. 
3. Emotions and memory are connected.
4. The use of videos, images, music and activities
linked with their experiences is another tool of
neurodidactics. 
5. Encourage positive self-esteem in their children,
which will favor learning in the classroom. 
6. If parents help children apply the knowledge they
acquire, they’ll contribute significantly to the
learning process.
7.Nine hours of uninterrupted and restorative
sleep are fundamental.
8. In conclusion, nuerodidactics is a
discipline linked to a very effective learning
process. 
 Alternative Approaches to Education

provides parents and teachers with information and

guidance on different education options in the UK and
further afield. This new and expanded edition, including
additional chapters and up-to-date contact details, explains
the values, philosophies and methods of a range of
alternative approaches available outside and within the state
system, as well as if you’re ‘doing it yourself’.
Exploring why alternative approaches to education
are needed, this accessible and informative book
challenges the dominant educational orthodoxies
by putting children first. It will be of interest to
teachers looking to build on their knowledge of
different educational approaches in order to find
new ways of working. It is also an ideal
introduction for parents deciding how best to
educate their children.
The Finnish education system
consists of:
 early childhood education and care which is provided for children before the
compulsory education begins,
 pre-primary education which is provided for children in the year preceding
the beginning of compulsory education,
 nine-year basic education (comprehensive school), which is compulsory,
 upper secondary education, which is either general upper secondary education
or vocational education and training, and
 higher education provided by universities and universities of applied sciences.
 Furthermore, adult education is available at all levels.
 Montessori Education

- is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity,

hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms
children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom
and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide
the process. Children work in groups and individually to discover and
explore knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum
potential.
 Waldorf Education
also known as Steiner education, is based on the
educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of
Anthroposophy. Its pedagogy strives to develop pupils' intellectual,
artistic, and practical skills in an integrated and holistic manner. The
cultivation of pupils' imagination and creativity is a central focus.
Individual teachers and schools have a great deal of autonomy in
determining curriculum content, teaching methodology, and
governance. Qualitative assessments of student work are integrated into
the daily life of the classroom, with quantitative testing playing a
minimal role and standardized testing usually limited to what is
required to enter post-secondary education.
