The course is grounded in evidence from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and contemporary learning theories, offering an integrated understanding of how the brain learns and how this knowledge can be applied to enhance pedagogical practices.
Throughout the course, key neurobiological processes involved in learning—such as attention, memory, emotion, and brain plasticity—are addressed, alongside factors influencing academic performance and student engagement. Specific challenges associated with high school education and youth and adult education are also discussed, taking into account their unique characteristics, trajectories, and educational needs.
Designed for teachers, administrators, and education professionals, the course aims to contribute to the development of pedagogical practices that are more effective, evidence-based, and aligned with contemporary educational needs.
As a recommended step in professional development, participants are advised to complete the "Fundamentals of Neuroeducation" course before starting this one; that course introduces and explores in depth the fundamental concepts that underpin the understanding of more complex educational contexts.
