Neurodidactics for neurolearning

Knowing our brain means knowing the origin and meaning of our humanity because in it arise not only our knowledge but also our emotions. If education inseparably shapes a person ... Why is it important to study the brain as a starting material for lifelong learning?

During the Decade of the Brain in the 1990s, there were many studies that confirmed relevant aspects of brain function and its connection to learning. The Learning Sciences and Brain Research project provided important information on learning disabilities, reading comprehension, and school phobias. The study also consolidated the findings on the application of neuroscience to the formulation of educational policies and educational concepts that combine formal and non-formal lifelong learning.

In this interdisciplinary vision, in addition to neurobiology, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, technology, and other disciplines converge, which directly and indirectly increase the recognition of the diversity of people as part of their humanity compared to educational systems dominated by homogenization and standardization of occupations. ...

 Along this path in the educational field, various views arise on the use of brain function in complex training, some of them.

 

 

Neuroeducation combines psychology, pedagogy, and neuroscience to explain how the brain works in learning.

Neurodidactics refers to the optimization of teaching and learning processes based on brain development.

 All of these interdisciplinary views have demystified the neuromyths known as such because they generated concepts based on the prior and supposed understanding of how our brains work and learn. However, with brain research technologies, some of these previous statements have been rethought, which in turn has influenced the creation and application of various educational offerings, such as early stimulation and cell division of students according to the prevailing learning style.

However, there is still much to do in the fascinating world of the brain. As educators, we have a responsibility to inform, teach and raise awareness about the discoveries, attitudes, and demystification of ideas that undermine the educational process.

One of these ideas is to overlook the importance of memorization. To learn, we need to use memory, and although technological devices have been used as "mental prosthetics" in the functioning of our brain, they connect emotion, cognition, and action.
