Neurodidactic approach to the teaching of physics in the training for medical biophysics higher technicians

Abstract

Introduction: One of the alternatives for the teaching of physics is the application of knowledge and means which are offered from neurodidactics. This scientific discipline is developed from its own inquiries and from other fields of science. However, there is an arduous road to go in the scientific researches that allow the establishment of the epistemological, theoretical and methodological basis of this emerging discipline, which, particularly in the teaching and learning of physics, the studies are still limited. Objective: is to show an approximation to a neurodidactic approach to the teaching of physics in the short-cycle training program for Medical Biophysics Higher Technicians in the University of Medical Sciences of Matanzas. Methodology: The analytical-synthetic method was used to determine the essential aspects of the scientific results that are related to the research topic. Induction-deduction favored determining regularities from the facto-perceptual and configuring the theoretical aspects that are proposed. The hermeneutic-dialectical was used to interpret the theoretical information and carry out a critical analysis. Results: The theoretical aspects that underpin the neurodidactic approach and the steps that must be taken into account to apply it in the teaching of physics are established. Conclusion: The contributions of the neurodidáctics favor the understanding of the teaching-learning process of physics and constitute a theoretical framework that enables the design of tasks and activities that enhance attention and motivation towards learning.
