Active Pedagogy and Neuroeducation: In-depth Reflections for Innovative Teaching

Abstract

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, adapting to the rapid flow of information is paramount. This chapter immerses itself in the realm of active pedagogy, dissecting its neuroeducational underpinnings that hold the potential to redefine the future of learning. At its core is an examination of neuroplasticity, unraveling the intricate ways in which the brain adapts and absorbs knowledge. The chapter intricately analyzes the interplay between brain plasticity and dynamic techniques such as Mind Mapping, Problem-Based Learning, and emotional intelligence. By cultivating a profound understanding of the evolving nature of learners’ brains, this holistic approach seeks to reshape the very foundations of education. The narrative unfolds, emphasizing the pivotal role of neuroeducation, presenting evolving models, and showcasing practical resources such as mind mapping and emotional intelligence, providing educators with a comprehensive toolkit for transformative teaching.
