THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SENSES AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY:A REFLECTION BASED ON THE STEINERIAN VISION AND NEUROSCIENCE

Abstract

The objective of this article is to share the notion about the development of the senses and their role in the cognition of the human being according to the Steinerian phenomenological view and the contribution of neuroscience to its understanding. The methodology used is bibliographic, and part of the theoretical framework was the one researched in the master's dissertation whose excerpt constitutes the article, plus some authors with whom a new dialogue was established in the expansion and continuation of the study. The result that emerges is a reflection on the effects found by neuroscience in this development by the intense use of digital technologies with children and young people both in teaching and leisure. The conclusion is that some effects can be harmful and it is necessary to rethink a return to face-to-face teaching and leisure with nature and social contact between people, as well as the use of drawing, artistic procedures and playfulness in education.
