Reflexões sobre a neurociência e educação: um estudo sobre os conceitos neurocientíficos que contribuem para a aprendizagem da matemática

Abstract

The present work seeks to show how neuroscience can help in the understanding of the development of teaching and learning of mathematics, generating reflections for the improvement of strategies for the acquisition of significant knowledge. Thus, it started with the following guiding question: how can neuroscience help in the process of learning mathematics in children in the early years of schooling? In this way, the objective of the research was to understand the contributions of neuroscience in the process of learning Mathematics in the early years. Therefore, a bibliographic research was carried out to clarify the proposed problem and the study showed that with the understanding of the functionality of the brain, educators can have more grounding on the behaviors presented in the classroom and, with that, develop educational practices that provide an improvement in the teaching and learning process of Mathematics in a more effective way.
