ABSTRACT:
Feedback from teachers during in-service courses shows that they are fascinated by
neuroscience, as they feel that it has the potential to improve their teaching practice. A previous
article of mine in School Science Review reported the first eight messages of the outcomes from
a small-scale action research project with primary and secondary science advanced skills teachers
(ASTs) in North Yorkshire. The second in this two-part account introduces a further seven messages
related to aspects of how the human brain learns that provide credence for the ASTs’ exemplary
practice. Finally, the 15 messages are grouped together into a series of concluding notes to help
teachers to improve pupils’ learning in their classrooms.
