Plasticidade cerebral na aprendizagem: uma proposta baseada na neurociência para ensino de ciências e biologia

Abstract

Learning is a complex and dynamic process that, in recent years, has become the focus of neuroscience studies. Among the various characteristics of the Nervous System, the discovery of neural plasticity and the understanding of how it works have made it possible to better comprehend how learning occurs at the biological level and to use this knowledge to make teaching and learning more effective. This integration allows for a balance between the two areas, enabling the development of student learning while considering their neurological, psychological, and pedagogical conditions. In this context, this study aims to understand the functioning of neural physiology and its development in the individual learning process, to map the neuroscientific methodologies already used in education, and taking them as a reference to develop an implementation guide to support teachers in applying these methodologies in the classroom. To achieve this goal, a qualitative research approach was employed, exploring the benefits that neuroscience-based practices can bring to education, with a focus on efficiency and more meaningful learning. As a result, a support material for science and biology educators was developed, grounded in neuroscientific methodologies.
