EDUCATION AND NEUROSCIENCES IN DEBATE: VIEWS AND REFLECTIONS ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Resumo

Introduction: The central theme of the research was to highlight contributions to theoretical and scientific knowledge regarding the relationship between education and neuroscience. The objective was to analyze how the brain changes throughout life in response to experiences and environmental stimuli and how these processes impact learning and human development. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted through a literature review emphasizing the current context of scientific research related to the application of neuroscience to education and learning. To this end, the theoretical framework of Lent, Vayer, Guerra, and Relvas, among other scholars on the subject, was examined. Results: The study investigated aspects relevant to the proposed theme, raised points about learning theories, and showed how phenomena occurring in the school environment can be researched methodologically. Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of relating cognitive learning mechanisms to neurodevelopmental factors and their social applications.
