Postgraduate certificate Physical Neuroeducation and Learning

A new work perspective has emerged in recent years, physical neuroeducation, which integrates the importance of physical exercise with health in children's learning. In this way, the approaches of different scientific currents such as education and neurology are united. It is possible then to understand how, through physical activity, the development of knowledge occurs in children, from a scientific perspective. This is the main reason why the program focused on this field of action, preparing professionals to understand these processes and help children from an early age.

Postgraduate Certificate in Physical Neuroeducation and Learning

Neuroeducation is a discipline that combines knowledge from neuroscience, psychology and education to develop teaching and learning models that adapt to the individual abilities and needs of the brain. Physical neuroeducation, on the other hand, focuses on the study of how physical activity and exercise affect the brain and learning.

Physical neuroeducation and learning are related to the extent to which physical activity and exercise influence the brain and thus the ability to learn. Studies show that physical exercise can increase the production of chemicals in the brain that improve attention, cognitive control, memory and learning. In addition, physical activity in education has been shown to improve concentration, self-esteem, mood and problem-solving skills.

Physical neuroeducation can also help identify and address learning difficulties and neurological disorders, taking advantage of the neuroadaptations generated during physical activity to improve cognitive ability.

Physical neuroeducation and learning strengthen their relationship through the study of how physical activity and exercise influence the brain and thus the ability to learn. By better understanding how the brain works, education can be tailored to ensure more effective and satisfying learning for all.

This academic program focuses on providing a solid and comprehensive training in the relationship between neuroscience, physical education and learning. Students will learn about the cognitive processes involved in movement and learning, and how physical exercise can improve academic performance. In addition, they will be taught how to design, implement and evaluate effective educational interventions based on physical neuroeducation. At the end of the program, students will be trained to effectively address the use of neuroscience in physical education and the impact on student learning.
