CONEXÕES NEURAIS E CONEXÕES VIRTUAIS

Abstract

The study investigated the integration between neuroscience findings and pedagogical practices mediated by digital technologies. The central problem was based on the need to understand how knowledge about brain functioning could be associated with the use of technological resources to enhance teaching and learning processes. The general objective was to analyze how the articulation between neural and virtual connections could favor the construction of more effective pedagogical practices in the context of digital culture. The research, of bibliographic nature, was developed through the analysis of academic productions that addressed the theme, seeking to identify theoretical foundations and practical perspectives. The reflections showed that brain plasticity and the mechanisms of memory, attention, and motivation can be stimulated through digital tools, increasing engagement and the personalization of learning. The final considerations indicated that the articulation between neuroscience and technology contributes to pedagogical innovation but requires adequate teacher training, as well as ethical reflections on the use of technologies. It was also found that further studies are needed to deepen the practical application of the connections between science and technology in the educational field.
