Science into the classroom!

Automatic behaviour is about learning and suppressing automatic behaviour. Why is it that we keep doing awkward automatic behaviour anyway?

In the book series "Scientific breakthroughs into the classroom!", we show how to bring science into primary education through inquiry-based learning. The topic of Automatic Behaviour is covered in Chapter 4 in the ninth book in the series. Click here for more information about the book series and the possibility to order the book.

The 'Automatic Behaviour' project was developed in the 2018-2019 school year by a team of researchers from Radboud University, primary school teachers and WKRU. The Radboud Science Team 'Automatic behaviour' consisted of the following people:

Radboud University researchers:
