Description: |
G is for Genes summariezes the latest research and explores, in a scientific and non-political way, what genetic research means for schools, and for the choices parents have to make about their children's education. |
Synopsis: |
G is for Genes shows how a dialogue between geneticists and educationalists can have beneficial results for the education of all children and can also benefit schools, teachers, and society at large. * Draws on behavioral genetic research from around the world, including the UK-based Twins Early Development Study (TEDS), one of the largest twin studies in the world * Offers a unique viewpoint by bringing together genetics and education, disciplines with a historically difficult relationship * Shows that genetic influence is not the same as genetic determinism and that the environment matters at least as much as genes * Designed to spark a public debate about what naturally-occurring individual differences mean for education and equality |
