INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The study investigated how neuroscience knowledge can be integrated with educational technologies to improve teaching and learning processes. The general objective was to analyze the contributions of neuroscience to the creation of innovative pedagogical practices in the school context, mediated by technological resources. The methodology used consisted of a bibliographical research, based on scientific articles, books and conference proceedings published in recent years, with a focus on the qualitative analysis of the intersections between the topics addressed. During the development, the main concepts of neuroscience applied to education were explored, such as attention, memory and motivation, and their connections with educational technologies, such as digital platforms and adaptive learning applications. The challenges related to teacher training and ethical issues in the use of technologies in the school environment were also discussed. The analysis indicated that the integration of neuroscience and technology can make teaching adapted to the cognitive diversity of students, contributing to educational inclusion. In the final considerations, it was concluded that this interaction has the potential to transform pedagogical practice, but requires investment in teacher training and the development of educational policies that ensure the effective and ethical application of these tools. The need for complementary studies was highlighted in different school contexts, to expand the possibilities of practical use of the interfaces analyzed.
