What is Educational Neuroscience and the implications in the classroom

Submitted by Juan Víctor Concepción Cardona on

Juan Víctor Concepción Cardona's picture

Educational neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that explores the intersection between neuroscience and education. It aims to use findings from neuroscience to inform educational practices and improve learning outcomes. The field seeks to understand how the brain develops, processes information, and learns, and how this knowledge can be applied to enhance teaching and educational strategies.

Implications in the Classroom:

  1. Individualized Instruction: Educational neuroscience can help educators tailor their teaching methods to individual students' learning styles, cognitive abilities, and developmental stages. This may involve recognizing and accommodating diverse learning profiles within a classroom.

La lucha contra la contaminación plástica y la búsqueda de soluciones sostenibles para el manejo de sus residuos son desafíos cruciales en la sociedad actual. En este contexto, la Fundación Nacional de las Ciencias (NSF) otorgó una subvención de $700 mil a las doctoras Yomaira Pagán Torres, del Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez (RUM) y Eranda Nikolla, de la Universidad de Michigan, ambas de Ingeniería Química (INQU), para un proyecto que tiene como fin diseñar y producir materiales catalíticos que faciliten la descomposición de residuos plásticos, a sus componentes químicos básicos, para su reúso en la manufactura del plástico original o la síntesis de otras sustancias químicas de mayor valor agregado. 

El lado oscuro de las uñas de gel

El empoderamiento que experimentamos cuando nos realizamos una manicura o pedicura es innegable. Hace 10 años las uñas de gel llegaron a desplazar el acrílico en los salones de belleza. La palabra “gel” se refería, en sus inicios, al estado físico del producto para las uñas, pero ahora se usa el término para describir la técnica. Una de las ventajas de este producto es la facilidad con que se “curan” las uñas en una lámpara con luz ultravioleta (UV). Sin embargo, la luz UV es un reconocido mutágeno que contribuye a malignidades cutáneas. Por consiguiente, existe una posibilidad de desarrollar cáncer por esta exposición y definitivamente, esto nos compete a todos.

<p>¡Castores químicos promueven las carreras en STEM usando técnicas de manufactura aditiva! La iniciativa de manufactura aditiva patrocinada por la National Science Foundation (NSF) (propuesta NSF-HSI # 2224801), está desafiando a los estudiantes de las escuelas del área metropolitana de Puerto Rico a identificar problemas globales y crear soluciones usando la manufactura aditiva como herramienta. Como parte de este programa, recientemente tuvimos el placer de recibir a alumnos y maestras de la “Escuela del Pueblo Trabajador”, una institución educativa Trujillana, cuyo método de enseñanza está basado en el método de la reconocida educadora María Montessori.
