Description

About Western:

Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth.

We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference.

About Us:

Over the past three decades, a new interdisciplinary field referred to as the 'Science of Learning' has gained increasing traction across the globe.

Given the existing strengths in educational research, cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, Western is uniquely poised to spearhead the growth of interdisciplinary research to deepen our understanding of how we learn.

Western University's Centre for the Science of Learning serves as a vehicle to foster collaboration not only between researchers at Western but also between educators in K-12 educational settings and researchers.

By providing a forum for multidisciplinary exchanges, the Science of Learning Centre members will further knowledge of how children learn and how such knowledge can transform educational practice and policy.

The Science of Learning Centre will be closely linked with the extant Centre for School Mental Health (CSMH), the Mary J.

Wright Child and Youth Development Clinic.

In this way, the Centre for the Science of Learning intersects with existing research groups within the Faculty of Education—this leads to effective cross-fertilization of research and translation efforts across different groups within the Faculty of Education.
