Improving the teaching-learning process from neuroscience

Abstract

Educational neuroscience seeks to understand the functioning of the brain within learning, memory, and emotions from the neural connections that produce behavior and how it is influenced by the environment in which it develops. The brain develops from countless synapses that are strengthened or weakened by external stimuli, experiences and thoughts that give rise to learning. The child's brain is always in search of connections and stimuli that feed its world full of curiosities. Your environment changes and this awakens interest in knowing new things that your brain stores and archives, which generates new connections that can be preserved throughout your life. Children's learning must be involved in uniting students' knowledge with feelings and emotions to build meaningful learning that lasts in daily life. It is well known that knowledge lasts longer if it is combined with an experience, generating an unbreakable connection.
