ABSTRACT
This article aims to present
the contributions of cognitive neuroscience to the teaching-learning process.
This is a bibliographical study. As a methodology, to carry out this study,
analyzes were carried out in research in books and articles, published from
1988 to 2019, considering the main aspects and approaches on the contributions
of cognitive neuroscience to the learning process. It was found that according
to Neuroscience, learning and memory are different phases of the same
progressive and continuous mechanism. The rapprochement between neurosciences
and pedagogy is a valuable contribution for the teacher. For the time being,
Neuroscience knowledge offers more questions than answers, but there are
expectations that Neuroscientific Pedagogy is being generated to answer and
suggest paths for education. Through the results of the research, it can be
said that one of the challenges in the educational context is not just knowing
how to teach or how to evaluate, but to present knowledge in a way that the
brain learns and develops better. In view of the responses from the knowledge
of neurosciences, there is a need for early childhood education teachers to
develop methodologies and strategies for the teaching and learning process,
with a view to improving the quality of teaching and learning.
Keywords: Early Childhood Education. Cognitive Neuroscience. Teaching-learning process.
