Alfabetização e Neurociência: adaptando-se as mudanças

Abstract

The Integrated Project aims to integrate children’s emotional development with literacy practice, using playful activities to explore and express feelings. This approach not only helps with cognitive development, but also with emotional development, promoting a more complete and holistic education. Neuroscience applied to education studies how children’s brains learn and how emotional factors influence the learning process. This Project is a powerful tool that integrates knowledge from neuroscience applied to education, literacy practices and adaptation skills. By focusing on emotions, the project not only improves children’s reading and writing skills, but also promotes their emotional and social well-being, better preparing them to face academic and personal challenges. By working with emotions, the project helps children understand and regulate their feelings, which is crucial for learning. Positive emotions such as joy and interest can increase motivation and attention, facilitating the literacy process. The recognition and naming of emotions stimulates areas of the brain linked to the development of language and cognition, promoting more effective and meaningful literacy. By combining feelings and words, children learn to express emotions through written and spoken language, developing their reading and writing skills in an integrated and meaningful way. The proposed activities help children expand their emotional vocabulary, improving their ability to communicate and express themselves. The use of stories and drawings involves active methodologies that make the literacy process more engaging and relevant for children. Activities that involve creativity and emotional expression help children become more flexible and open to new experiences, facilitating their adaptation to different contexts and situations.
