Neuroeducación en el aula ecuatoriana presenta una aproximación pedagógica y contextualizada al funcionamiento del cerebro durante el aprendizaje en la educación básica. La obra integra aportes de la neurociencia, la psicología y la pedagogía para explicar procesos como la neuroplasticidad, la atención, la memoria, las emociones, la motivación y el desarrollo cerebral infantil. Asimismo, analiza la neurodiversidad, las dificultades de aprendizaje y los principios de la educación inclusiva, ofreciendo orientaciones fundamentadas para responder a las necesidades de cada estudiante. A través de ejemplos situados en el contexto ecuatoriano, propone estrategias aplicables a distintas áreas curriculares, actividades para fortalecer el aprendizaje significativo y recursos para crear ambientes seguros. El libro desarrolla el perfil y las competencias del docente neuroeducador del siglo XXI, destacando su liderazgo, empatía, bienestar y formación continua. Constituye una guía práctica para docentes, investigadores, directivos y profesionales comprometidos con una educación inclusiva, humana y basada en evidencia científica.
