About
Phil is currently studying for a PhD in Education while on secondment to the School of Education as a Learning Technology Advisor.
A summary of the focus of his PhD:
“Neuroscience seems to have implications in a great many areas of Games Based Learning, two particular areas I’m looking at are:
The Neuroscience of Play – specifically the notion of play as a primal drive to develop emotional regulation and adaptability to novelty and ambiguity.
The Neuroscience of Storytelling – specifically the relationship between language and embodiment and what impact that has on how we understand and use stories.
Play and Story are the major components of computer games and my hope is that a better understanding of the neuroscientific underpinnings to these, could provide a better understanding of how computer games can be used for education.”
