The neuroeducation Mag

We learn throughout our lives, but childhood is a crucial time when our little ones learn a huge amount, day after day, often without even realising it. But really... How do you learn to do something new? Here's how, in 4 easy steps. 😉

Putting students at the heart of learning, equipping them with tools before they even enter the classroom, and transforming them into players once they're in the classroom: that's the promise of the flipped classroom. Babaoo Mag takes a look! ⬇️

Today, we're taking a look at the PISA survey, the mirror of the world's education systems. So, are you ready to decipher the secrets of education across the globe? 🌐📚

Jean-Pierre Astolfi, a name that resonates in the world of education! In his book "L'Erreur, un outil pour enseigner", he describes 8 types of error that are recognized in the world of teaching and pedagogy. Errors, often perceived negatively, are in fact a crucial stage in the child's learning process. But why? How can we help our little ones? 🤓 Babaoo takes stock for you! ⬇️

Pediatric occupational therapy is an essential pillar in supporting the development and autonomy of children with special needs, disabilities or frailties. This article describes the role and missions of occupational therapists with children. Find out how and when to enlist the valuable help of this expert to support your loulou in his development. 🌱

Dys... what? Dyslexia, dysorthographia and dysgraphia. It's hard to find your way around these three language disorders (even without being affected by one of them!). To help you make sense of it all, Babaoo Mag takes a look 💡

Ah, dyslexia! Often mentioned, sometimes misunderstood, but above all: it's a reality for many little ones. In France, it's estimated that 4 to 5% of pupils in a given age group are dyslexic (according to the Fédération Française des Dys), while across the Atlantic, the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity estimates that 20% of the population suffers from dyslexia. Looking for answers to this learning disability? Babaoo is here to enlighten you. 💡

Dysgraphia. A term which may seem technical at first glance, but which refers to a very concrete reality for many children who experience difficulties in acquiring and mastering handwriting, and for their parents. Let's delve into this world together to understand it better and find out how to tackle it.

Spelling... what a pain! If dictations are a bad memory for you, imagine being in the shoes of a dysorthographic child. Dysorthographia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes learning and memorizing spelling rules particularly difficult.

How about Metacognition? Alexandra Volckaert, a doctorate in psychology, specializing in neuropsychology and more specifically in the development of Executive Functions in young children, tells you all about it!

Cleaning the classroom to improve concentration, birdwatching to strengthen long-term memory, learning from mistakes to consolidate knowledge, napping to optimize learning... What if tomorrow's school were transformed into a playground where the science of learning takes on a whole new dimension?

If you've made it this far, you've already discovered the fundamental basics of neuroeducation in the first part of this article... Ready to discover the prerequisites for successful learning? Babaoo Mag has you covered! ⬇️

Discover the mysteries of children's brains. Dive into neuroeducation, the fascinating encounter between neuroscience and educational science. Ready to discover how to help your child "learn to learn" thanks to the enlightening perspectives of neuroscience? Babaoo Mag has the answers! ⬇️

Imagine you're immersed in a new language, with no dictionary to help you. You hear the words, but can't make sense of them. In simple terms, this is how a child with dyscalculia feels when faced with mathematics. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes it difficult to understand numbers, calculations and related concepts.

Who said learning had to be a one-way street, from teacher to student? Active learning breaks this mold by encouraging active student participation, transforming the classroom into a playground for the inquisitive mind.

Modelling, Training, Appropriation and Transfer. Understanding the 4 phases of children's learning is crucial to guiding and supporting their development. Curious to find out more? Babaoo Mag has the facts for you!

Metacognition is a superpower that enables us (adults and children alike) to learn how to learn. It's our ability to step back and analyse a situation and pay attention to what's going on in our heads. Want to find out more about this superpower? Babaoo Mag has the facts for you!

Time spent playing can be full of lessons for our little ones. Balancing fun and learning, educational games play an essential role in children's cognitive and emotional development. But how do you choose them?

From 3 to 6 October, the Babaoo team was present at the second edition of the interdisciplinary scientific symposium of the GDR Mémoire in Carry-le-Rouet. We organised a symposium, presented and tested the game: here's a look back at the event.

Sport isn't just a great way for kids to expend their boundless energy. Did you know that physical activity can also stimulate their growing brains? Let's discover together the cognitive benefits of sport for these developing brains. 🧠

Are you concerned about the education of your children, students or little brothers and sisters? Have you heard of positive education and are you looking for a better understanding of this approach? Then you've come to the right place!

Babaoo was recently lucky enough to welcome Jean-Philippe Lachaux, Director of Neuroscience Research at INSERM (CRNL) and Specialist in Attention. We took the opportunity to ask him all our questions on the subject, which we'll let you discover without further ado!

Attention, Inhibition, Working Memory, Flexibility, Planning: Executive Functions are our brain's superpowers. They enable us to control our thoughts, actions and emotions. To better understand executive functions and their role in children's development, follow the guide!

In July 2023, our Studio hosted a preview of Babaoo for around fifteen children. It was a golden opportunity to improve our video game with a view to its release on stores in September.
