Abstract

Since several years, pedagogical research has been investigating educational issues from a neurobiological perspective too. Neurobiological knowledge provides important insights into each individual’s uniqueness from the perspective of the interconnection between genetic and environmental factors. The most recent neurological studies have shown how mental processes are the product of the organization and function of the nervous system. They found, also, such as organization and function are built inside the exchange relationships that the nervous system has with the environment. This highlights the role of the contributions of cultural diversification and differentiation of biological and mental health of each person. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these processes, the differences of brain organization from one subject to another and changeability of the brain structures of the individual subject can be extremely useful for educational intervention and learning. It becomes necessary for educational planning to understand these processes, the differences in brain rganization from one subject to another end the changing nature of the individual subject’s brain structures. This is why new areas of pedagogical study based on neuroscientific knowledge are emerging: bio education, enactivism, simplexity, neurodidactics, warm cognition. This work aims to contribute to redesigning the current educational research in neurobiology to propose to all educators, including teachers, this new interpretative key, which is fundamental to analyse, face, and manage the different learning and teaching situations in schools today.
