Abstract

In order to link learning and the brain, it is necessary to carry out a restructuring of pedagogical practice so that it can be linked to the contributions of Neurosciences. In this sense, Neuro-education is emerging as a new science that has as its main objective the synergy of Pedagogy, Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience, and with this, being able to bring the different educational agents the necessary resources in terms of the brain and learning binomial This article focuses on the importance of education in values, and the acquisition of prosocial behavior and how this educational field can be developed from the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The challenge before us is to build the map of values, which make the individual a fulfilled being and, in turn, a collaborator of the social environment. On the other hand, ICTs offer enormous potential in terms of their application in the field of education. In this article we will show the role that this type of tools can play in the learning and assimilation of values, bearing in mind the contributions of neuro-education.

Highlights

Neurosciences are developing investigations focused on the neural bases of learning, memory, emotions and different functions of the brain, the results of which have high applicability in the field of learning (Bowers 2016; Howard-Jones 2014)
It is necessary for the school to respond, as a socializing agent, by promoting learning aimed at conflict resolution, prosocial behaviors (Esteban 2003), the development of the capacity for empathy, respect for the plurality of ideals and, to the assimilation of democratic norms
Regarding the application of information and communication technologies applied to education in values, we find the bibliography, in this regard, supports this relationship

Summary

Introduction

Neurosciences are developing investigations focused on the neural bases of learning, memory, emotions and different functions of the brain, the results of which have high applicability in the field of learning (Bowers 2016; Howard-Jones 2014). The development of neuro-education contributes to the advancement of educational innovation, as well as the development of educational systems. In this sense, Caine et al (2008) establish the learning principles of the brain, based on the fact that this is a complex adaptive system that is configured with our relationship with the environment, the search for meaning takes place through guidelines, what is learned is influenced through emotions, learning involves both focused attention and peripheral perception, learning is a developmental process, and each brain is uniquely organized, because it is the biological substrate of personal consciousness.
