GAMIFICATION AND NEUROEDUCATION: INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE BRAIN LEARNING

Abstract

This article explored the interaction between neuroscience, technology, and education, aiming to investigate how technological strategies based on neuroscientific principles can enhance the learning process in educational environments. The study, grounded in a bibliographic research methodology as described by Amaral (2007), analyzed a series of publications addressing the applications and impacts of gamification and hybrid teaching in education. Among the main cited authors, Cosenza and Guerra (2011), Costa (2023), Smith et al. (2020), Santana et al. (2021), and Muniz (2014) stand out, whose works provided valuable insights into the relevance of neuroscience in education and the effectiveness of innovative technological approaches. The study demonstrated that integrating educational technologies aligned with neuroscientific knowledge not only engages students more effectively but also facilitates deeper and more retentive learning. The conclusions emphasized the need for ongoing teacher training in neuroscience and educational technologies so they can effectively apply this knowledge in their teaching practices. Therefore, the article contributes to the educational field by highlighting how conscientious application of technological strategies, supported by neuroscientific evidence, can transform the educational experience, promoting more adaptive and engaging learning.
