Popularizando a neurociência e sua relação com a educação no interior do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

It’s known that neuroscience can contribute to the knowledge of brain functions and can also aid in the understanding of the learning modalities, it is necessary that this science be divulged and popularized among the teachers, however this communication is still scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to verify the perception of teachers of public schools in the city of Alegrete / RS on Neuroscience and its relations with education, as well as contribute to the popularization of it. The accomplishment of a mini-course involving specific general topics of the neuroscience was the main action of this study, besides the bibliographical research. The results obtained showed that the teachers have some prior knowledge about the subject, however in the initial and continuous training advances in relation to the topic neuroscience are still timid, therefore more actions of dissemination and popularization of the neurosciences for teachers are necessary.
