This study aims to disclose how the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) neuroimaging approach has been applied in education studies, and what kind of learning themes has been investigated in the reviewed MRI neuroimaging research. Based on the keywords “brain or neuroimaging or neuroscience” and “MRI or diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) or white matter or gray matter or resting-state,” a total of 25 papers were selected from the subject areas “Educational Psychology” and “Education and Educational Research” from the Web of Science and Scopus from 2000 to 2019. Content analysis showed that MRI neuroimaging and learning were studied under the following three major topics and nine subtopics: cognitive function (language, creativity, music, physical activity), science education (mathematical learning, biology learning, physics learning), and brain development (parenting, personality development). As for the type of MRI neuroimaging research, the most frequently used approaches were functional MRI, followed by structural MRI and DTI, although the choice of approach was often motivated by the specific research question. Research development trends show that the neural plasticity theme has become more prominent recently. This study concludes that in educational research, the MRI neuroimaging approach provides objective and empirical evidence to connect learning processes, outcomes, and brain mechanisms.

MRI神经影像学教育研究的系统综述

这项研究旨在揭示磁共振成像（MRI）神经成像方法如何在教育研究中应用，以及在回顾的MRI神经成像研究中研究了什么样的学习主题。根据关键字“大脑或神经影像或神经科学”和“ MRI或弥散张量成像（DTI）或白质或灰质或静止状态”，从“教育心理学”和“从2000年至2019年来自Web of Science和Scopus的“教育与教育研究”。内容分析表明，MRI神经成像和学习是在以下三个主要主题和9个子主题下进行的：认知功能（语言，创造力，音乐，体育活动），科学教育（数学学习，生物学学习，物理学习），和大脑发育（父母，人格发展）。至于MRI神经影像学研究的类型，尽管最常用的方法是功能性MRI，然后是结构性MRI和DTI，但是方法的选择通常是由特定的研究问题所激发的。研究发展趋势表明，神经可塑性主题最近变得更加突出。这项研究得出的结论是，在教育研究中，MRI神经影像学方法为连接学习过程，结果和脑机制提供了客观和经验证据。研究发展趋势表明，神经可塑性主题最近变得更加突出。这项研究得出的结论是，在教育研究中，MRI神经影像学方法为连接学习过程，结果和脑机制提供了客观和经验证据。研究发展趋势表明，神经可塑性主题最近变得更加突出。这项研究得出的结论是，在教育研究中，MRI神经影像学方法为连接学习过程，结果和脑机制提供了客观和经验证据。
