Experts to Speak on the Science of Learning

The Science of Learning (SoL) is an interdisciplinary approach that combines insights and research from neuroscience, psychology and education to understand how children learn best.

This approach examines the processes underlying learning and memory, and the conditions that optimise learning experiences.

With the latest SoL research, educators and school leadership are able to understand how the brain acquires and processes information, so there can be more effective, engaging and inclusive learning environments for students.

The "2025 Science of Learning Conference - From Insight to Implementation" will be held at Matthew Flinders Anglican College from Thursday, 3 April to Friday, 4 April on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland and provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from world leading experts on SoL.

College Principal Michelle Carroll said the two-day event had been crafted for educators and school leaders who are passionate about leveraging the latest research to enhance their teaching practices.

"Flinders is committed to creating a high-quality conference that will inspire, challenge and support educators across Australia," Ms Carroll said.

“Our presenters will get to the heart of the most powerful practical strategies we can apply in our classrooms to support engaged and empowered learners."
