Academic Research
The underlying principles contained within the Neuro-Semantic Language Learning Theory and Arwood’s Neuro-Education Model were developed by Dr. Ellyn Arwood over the course of 40 years. Since that time, the proposition that all children can learn – when the input they are provided matches the strengths of their neurobiological learning system – has been researched by numerous educators and scholars. The following sections present a selection of research on Neuro-Education from both peer-reviewed and narrative-based studies.
Peer-Reviewed Research
Below is a selection of research about Neuro-Education stemming from educators who completed peer-reviewed master’s theses or doctoral dissertations.
Periodicals
In addition, Neuro-Education has been reviewed in multiple periodicals and web-based platforms. Please view any of the following resources for more information.
Additional Case Studies
