UNA PROPOSTA TEORICA PER SVILUPPARE LE COMPETENZE DEGLI EDUCATORI ALLA LUCE DELLE NEUROSCIENZE EDUCATIVE
Contenuto principale dell'articolo
Abstract
L’allineamento delle conoscenze degli educatori ai principi delle neuroscienze educative è un passo cruciale verso il potenziale miglioramento della pratica educativa. Analogamente ad altri domini di conoscenza, riteniamo che questa trasformazione possa avvenire attraverso cinque fasi di sviluppo (Riconoscere, Accettare, Adattare, Esplorare ed Avanzare), insieme ad altrettanti assi distinti, ma complementari: l'implementazione del curriculum, la valutazione degli studenti, l'apprendimento, l'insegnamento e l'accesso a tecnologie non invasive, portatili e indossabili per le misurazioni neurofisiologiche. Per quanto riguarda i suddetti assi, la ricerca nel campo delle neuroscienze educative ha offerto importanti risultati. In questa cornice, l'articolo propone che l’acquisizione delle conoscenze sulle neuroscienze educative, da parte degli educatori in servizio e in formazione, possa quindi basarsi sulle fasi di sviluppo e sugli assi identificati. Lo scopo è quello di incoraggiare gli educatori a sviluppare le conoscenze e le competenze necessarie ad integrare i principi e le scoperte delle neuroscienze educative nella progettazione, nell'insegnamento e nella valutazione.
