教育的核心在培養健全的大腦。近代大腦科學研究的進展，或能從神經生理的觀點，啟發教師規劃有效的教學策略，引導兒童學習。因此，本文從腦科學的微觀角度到宏觀層次介紹大腦學習的生理機制，整合大腦的發展特性說明對教育的啟示及應用的限制，藉由腦科學在心智學習及教學課程上的發現，提出「腦為基礎的課程與教學」（Brain-Based Curriculum and Teaching, BBCT）構念，作為教師檢視、引導教學的方向，以及未來研究者延伸課程模式、發展評量指標的基石。

The core of the education is to develop a sound brain. Recent studies of brain science may inspire teachers to guide children with effective strategies through a neurophysiology perspective. Therefore, this article which introduces brain science from micro to macro level illustrates physiological mechanism of brain learning, and describes the developing properties of the brain. The enlightenment of brain science on education as well as the limitation of its applications are discussed. The concept of Brain-Based Curriculum and Teaching (BBCT) was derived and proposed based on the discovery of brain science in learning process of mind. BBCT offers teachers a direction of teaching and individual survey. It also offers future scholars a curriculum model or an index of evaluation to be extended further.
