De las neurociencias a la educación ¿Construir puentes o reducir brechas?

Abstract

Education as human science develops a complex and problem-building character. Addressing this complexity requires an interdisciplinary reading focused on scientific foundations, which offer significant contributions to its understanding, application and validation. In this sense, various sciences have been concerned with studying learning, for example psychology, which has provided the pedagogy with the basic contents to try to understand this process, which is why it has progressively become involved with neuroscientific models of study. This has opened up the debate as to whether building bridges or closing gaps between pedagogy and neurosciences, a process that has provisionally been called neuroeducation, which seeks to understand and bring new knowledge to the educational fact: the brain, its structure and its functioning as the organ responsible for learning.
