Contributions of Neuroscience to Educational Praxis: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Objectives: In education, neuroscience is an interdisciplinary research field. It seeks to improve educational practice by applying brain research findings. Additional findings from the scientific fields of education, psychology, and neurophysiology aim to enhance the learning process and improve educational practices. The application of neuroscience to education involves neuroscientific and psychological knowledge. Methods/Analysis: In this systematic literature review, the final studies included in the analysis table are decided by searching databases according to predefined inclusion criteria. The PRISMA approach was utilized to study the relationship between neuroscience and the educational process and to optimize the educational process based on the relevant data. Findings: The review's findings emphasize the significance of integrating neuroscience into educational praxis and challenges and raise ethical concerns regarding its implementation in educational contexts. Novelty /Improvement: The discipline of educational neuroscience is associated with education, research, and the cognitive neuroscience of learning. Neuroscience can serve as the basis for education in a similar direction that biology serves as the basis for medicine, meaning that each field retains its innovation but cannot contravene the rules of the other. This study examines the relationship between neuroscience and educational praxis as well as how the educational community might bridge this gap to include prospective findings from neuroscientific research.

“…Consequently, it is logical to assert that a leader's performance is enhanced by possessing low levels of neuroticism. This is because a leader who exhibits neurotic tendencies, such as worry, nervousness, and self-pity, is less likely to succeed than leaders who demonstrate emotional stability (Gkintoni et al, 2023a;Gkintoni et al, 2023c;Ghani et al, 2016). Therefore, our initial hypothesis regarding the relationship with neuroticism is substantiated.…”

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence in Pervasive Developmental Disorders. The Autism Paradigm

“…For example, employing explicit instructional techniques such as social stories or role-playing can effectively elucidate the intricacies of emotional cues and social norms. Individuals diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) can enhance their comprehension of emotional dynamics by deconstructing interactions and emotional responses into discernible constituents (Gkintoni et al, 2023c). Furthermore, real-world experiential learning holds considerable importance.…”

The HERVAT Method as a Neurolearning Strategy in Education

“…Neuroeducation, emerging as an interdisciplinary discipline, applies neuroscientific discoveries to the educational realm. Gkintoni et al (2023) conceptualizes neuroeducation as a meeting point between neuroscience, psychology, and education, with the primary objective of optimizing teaching and learning processes. This field focuses on understanding brain learning, proposing pedagogical strategies based on the knowledge of underlying neuronal mechanisms.…”
