The student's profile as a starting point in defining individual enabling strategies of academic performance

Abstract

Neuroeducation came to integrate the advances recorded in the areas of neuroscience in the teaching and learning processes. These processes, by enabling the mapping of brain circuits, enhance the individual's knowledge and allow the improvement of the functional structures that limit learning. The main goal of Neuroeducation is then focused on optimizing the performance of each individual, privileging their uniqueness, through self-regulation and the enhancement of executive capacities. In this context, the starting point should be the development of the student's profile. In addition to signaling the general academic, emotional and motivational level of the student, allows to create an information matrix, to structure the activities and strategies to be developed supporting an individualized pedagogical work. This resource allows students to become agents of their learning, self-searching at each moment, where they are regarding their final objectives, self-regulating their performance and adapting to the challenges they will face.
