Neurociências e Educação

Learning objectives
Understand the major contributions of neuroscience to education and learning Present interdisciplinary proposals between neuroscience and education for new active learning challenges Rethink what is taught, how it is taught, and how learning is evaluated. Apply the new contributions of the "social brain"

Teaching methodologies (including evalution)

Teaching methods will be predominantly expository in lectures, with approach and framing of the different concepts.. The practical classes will be aimed at problem solving under the guidance of the teacher. As for the theoretical exposition, a strong interaction between the concepts and their concrete application will prevail. The transformation of concepts into work tools will be achieved by encouraging personal work. The teaching of the curricular unit is complemented by the student attendance periods.Assessment: individual written work on the contributions of neuroscience to education (50%); mock presentation of group work on creating an innovative curriculum for "new brains" (50%)
