Abstract
Thanks to brain imaging, what we're discovering today is how the learning brain* works. Yet this brain, " theater of education ", the site of all individual and social synthesis, is the blind spot of national education. We still too often educatemillions of brains " blindly ", i.e. 1) by manipulating their inputs (school rhythms, number of pupils per class, type of pedagogy, etc.) and 2) by observing their outputs (results of assessments : tests, PISA), without fully understanding their internal mechanisms, via positive, regular and graduated reinforcements or neurofeedbacks, as well as metacognition (self-assessment).
