Goals

The "University Course of Specialization in Neuroscience applied to Education" has as its main objective to provide participants with a deep understanding of the functioning of the brain and how this knowledge can be used to improve learning.
The course is divided into several modules, each with a specific objective:
Concepts of neuroscience, neuroeducation and neuromites: This module focuses on the definition and understanding of these key concepts in the field of educational neuroscience. Participants will learn to distinguish between facts and myths in neuroscience and how they apply to education.
Functioning of the human brain about learning: in this module, participants will acquire a deep knowledge of the functioning of the human brain and how it affects learning. The latest research in neuroscience and how these can be applied in the classroom will be explored.
Implementation in the educational programs of resources, appropriate measures and characteristics of neuroscience: This module teaches participants how to implement resources and measures based on neuroscience in educational programs. The objective is to help students with high capacities to fully develop their potential.
Contributions of neuroscience to autistic spectrum disorder: participants will know the latest advances in neuroscience in relation to autistic spectrum disorder. The implications of these advances for education and support to students with this disorder will be discussed.
Identification and analysis of the main influential emotions in the brain about learning: Participants will learn to identify and analyze emotions that have a greater impact on learning from a neuroscientific perspective. Strategies will be explored to manage these emotions in the classroom.
Neuroeducator concept and the main tools of neurotechnology: participants will familiarize themselves with the concept of neuroeducator and learn to use the main tools of neurotechnology in the educational field. It will be discussed how these tools can be used to improve the learning and performance of students.
In summary, this course prepares participants to apply the principles of neuroscience in the classroom, in order to improve the learning and development of students. Participants will leave the course with a solid understanding of neuroscience and how it can be applied in education, as well as practical tools that can start using immediately in their work.
