NEUROSCIENCE AND EDUCATION: PRACTICAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVE THE TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

This article analyzes the contributions of neuroscience to the improvement of the teaching and learning process, exploring practical approaches applicable to the educational context. The research uses a qualitative methodology, based on a systematic literature review and documentary analysis of publications between 2010 and 2024. The results indicate that the implementation of pedagogical strategies based on neuroscientific principles can lead to significant improvements in academic performance, with an average increase of 23% compared to traditional methods. There was also a 31% increase in long-term information retention with the use of techniques such as active retrieval and distributed practice. The application of neuroscientific approaches in inclusive education has resulted in a 40% improvement in the cognitive development of students with specific educational needs. It is concluded that the integration between neuroscience and education offers a promising path for the development of more effective pedagogical practices, emphasizing the importance of adequate teacher training and continuous institutional support for its effective implementation.
