The science of learning is the study of how people learn. 

This science brings together robust evidence and insights from multiple fields of study to describe how people learn biologically, developmentally, cognitively, culturally, emotionally, and socially. 

Leading New Zealand experts Dr Nina Hood, and Dr Alison Arrow are featured in the video below. In the video, Dr Hood gives a breakdown of what the science of learning is, and Dr Arrow discusses structured literacy from a science of learning perspective and how it might be applied in a classroom.
