Contribuições da Neurociências para o ensino de Física

Abstract

The application of Neuroscience in physics education represents an innovative frontier in the educational field, offering new perspectives on how students learn and retain complex concepts. Neuroscience, which studies the functioning of the brain and nervous system, provides valuable insights into the cognitive processes involved in learning. The objective of the research was to describe how principles and findings from neuroscience can be effectively and innovatively applied to teaching physics, with the aim of enhancing students' understanding, retention, and performance in the subject. This research involved a literature review, with a methodology that includes a careful selection of relevant literature, encompassing books, scientific articles, dissertations, and theses. The search for these sources will be conducted on digital platforms, focusing on publications from the last ten years to ensure up-to-date and appropriate theoretical grounding. The main findings indicate that integrating neuroscience knowledge into physics teaching can enrich the learning experience. The use of multiple sensory channels, such as visual resources, practical experiments, and simulations, has proven effective in facilitating the understanding of physical concepts.
