文化、脑与教育——人类学启迪中的教育神经科学

摘要

文化塑造着人脑,人脑也建构着文化。人类学的理论与方法为教育神经科学研究文化、脑与教育的关系拓展了新的领域。对＂文化中的脑＂与＂脑中的文化＂的关注已经推动了人类学的新分支——＂神经人类学＂的诞生。在人类学的启迪下,中国教育神经科学研究将有助于加深对不同文化族群中儿童学习的内在机制的理解,为尊重文化多样性的教育实践和推动教育公平的政策制定提供科学依据。%Culture carves the brain while the brain constructs culture.The theory and method of anthropology have expanded the field of educational neuroscience to the study of the relationship among culture,brain and education.Researches on "culture in brain" and "brain in culture" have resulted in a new branch of anthropology: neuroanthropology.With the enlightenment of anthropology,educational neuroscience will deepen our understanding towards children's learning in different groups,providing scientific evidence to the educational practice and policy-making.
