Movement, as a tool for the development and enhancement of cognitive functions, is the key to the development and implementation of Neuroeducation in Physical Education. A novel concept of enormous importance for the quality of life of students”

Science has advanced in the study of the brain as a learning organ, with the aim of helping each student to develop their cognitive, intellectual and emotional potential to the fullest. Although current education aims at a comprehensive education, it is still focused on cognitive aspects, with little development in terms of emotional aspects; little and/or no management of one's own and others' emotions, little self-motivation and self-control, and communication skills.

This program arises with the purpose of expanding the benefits that can be offered from the subject of physical education to students, from the perspective of sports performance, academic performance, and also in relation to personal development based on physical and emotional well-being. This is based on the new knowledge of brain science to focus, in a practical way, on how to implement it in the reality of educational centers. 

Physical Education acquires a dimension of extraordinary importance, transcending the important objectives of developing motor skills, to access the use of movement as a tool for the development and improvement of cognitive functions.

The prestigious professors of this program have deposited their specialized and advanced knowledge based on experience and rigorous scientific criteria in the development of this highly scientifically and academically rigorous training.  

All modules are accompanied by abundant iconography, with photos and videos by the authors, which are intended to illustrate, in a very practical, rigorous and useful way, advanced knowledge in neuroeducation and physical education for physical therapists.

The quality of a program designed to promote Physical Education with the reinforcement of Neuroeducation, giving it a place of relevance in the training of students”

It includes, in its teaching staff, professionals belonging to the field of Neuroeducation and Physical Education, who pour into this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists belonging to reference societies and prestigious universities. 

Thanks to its multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology, it will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the educator must try to solve the different situations of professional practice that arise throughout the specialization. For this, the educator will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system, developed by recognized experts in the field of Neuroeducation and Physical Education with extensive teaching experience. 

Incorporate the neuroscience approach to your work in the area of Physical Education, and bring to your objectives, the goal of cognitive and emotional development of this new form of educational intervention” 

New advances and developments in neuroscience applied to teaching in the area of Physical Education, from an eminently practical approach”

The main objective of this comprehensive program is to provide the student with the vision and skills necessary to turn the area of Physical Education into an invaluable tool for the development of the integral wellbeing of the human being. Beyond its potential in physical terms, this professional master’s degree will work on its protective capacity of the brain, its influence on brain function, emotions, motivation, perception, in short, learning. 

By means of the most developed online technology, this professional master’s degree will offer you a training with which you will be able to include, in your work, the development of multiple intelligences through movement”
