Neuropedagogy, Methodological Suggestions for its Application in Higher Education. (Essay)

Abstract

This article contributes to guide higher education professors in the direction of the teaching-learning process that is based on the knowledge of Neuropedagogy, a new scientific discipline that promotes the study of the brain and leaves its mark on student learning. Despite the fact that the valuable contributions of Neuropedagogy are known, the experience of the pedagogical practice shows that it is necessary to continue perfecting the teaching-educational process in which the knowledge acquired by the teachers in this discipline is applied in a conscious and planned way. In this sense, the present work aims at offering methodological recommendations to university professors of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Technical University of Babahoyo, Los Ríos, Ecuador, in order to apply the knowledge on Neuropedagogy in favor of the teaching-learning process. The methods used for this purpose were: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and historical-logical for the construction of the theoretical framework of the research and modeling for the elaboration of the methodological recommendations that are provided as a result of the research. This proposal takes into consideration the premises of Neuroeducation and the health professional's way of acting. Its application in other contexts requires the creativity and expertise of the teaching staff.
