Preferred term

identity theory, teacher education, and diversity  

Definition

  • Within the philosophy of mind, identity theory refers to the thesis that mental events experienced by humans are identical to neurochemical events in the brain. That is different from how identity is typically used in education; this entry limits itself to identity theory as connected to the social sciences and social practice theories.
