description Neurosciences have generated great interest and enthusiasm in recent decades in various fields of knowledge. One of these fields is education. As a result the term neuro-education was suggested. However, there is a gap between the two areas: neuroscience has accumulated experimental evidence about the biological basis of emotions, cognitive processes and critical periods. Education has few works that show the extrapolation of this evidence in educational processes. The gap neuroscience-education is because neuroscientists have little relation to education and teachers do not have a solid background in neurosciences. This, added to the intuitive work of experts in educational processes, has induced the creation of neuromyths, which generates confusion and eludes the possibility of a true integration between neuroscience and education. To reduce this gap, it is necessary training for teachers in neuroscience topics, training for neuroscientists in education and, also, research and dissemination of results, which will validate or discard experimental evidence. The results of thosestudies will be a key to guide educational policies that will result in improving thequality of education for future generations.

Las neurociencias han generado gran interés y entusiasmo en las últimas décadas en diversos campos del conocimiento. Uno de estos campos es la educación, razón por lo que se ideó el término neuroeducación. Sin embargo, existe una brecha entre las dos áreas, pues, aunque cada vez se acumula gran evidencia experimental acerca de las bases biológicas de las emociones, los procesos cognitivos y sus periodos críticos, son pocos los trabajos que muestran la extrapolación de esto en procesos educativos. Parte de esa brecha se debe a que los neurocientíficos tienen poca relación con la educación y los docentes no tienen una formación sólida en neurociencias. Esto, sumado al trabajo intuitivo por parte de expertos, en los procesos educativos, ha favorecido la creación de neuromitos, que generan confusión y alejan la posibilidad de una verdadera integración entre neurociencias y educación. Para reducir esta brecha se requieren capacitaciones permanentes a docentes en temas de neurociencias, capacitaciones de neurocientíficos en educación y mayor investigación y divulgación de resultados que validen o descarten la evidencia experimental. Los resultados de estas investigaciones serán clave para orientar políticas educativas que redunden en el mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación de futuras generaciones. 2021-11-10T00:52:31Z 2021-11-10T00:52:31Z 2018-07-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/533 10.54104/papeles.v10n20.533 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5383 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/533/458 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-0911 0123-0670 10.54104/papeles.v10n20 PAPELES; Vol. 10 No. 20 (2018); 39-52 PAPELES; Vol. 10 Núm. 20 (2018); 39-52
