Neuroscience in education: Innovation and change
Keywords:
methodologies, neuroscience, strategies, the brainAbstract
The concept of applying neuroscience to education seeks to bridge the gap between scientific brain research and everyday pedagogical practice. It is not about turning teachers into neurologists, but rather providing them with a scientific framework that allows them to understand how the brain learns in order to design more effective and meaningful teaching strategies. The objective was to explore how neuroscience can contribute to the educational process; the methodology applied was a bibliographic review and the inductive-deductive method. The result was that neuroscience plays an important role in the process of innovation and change in the teaching-learning process, where 11th-century strategies play an essential role in improving the educational process and integrating students into them.
