Abstract

The text discusses the possibility of integrating the significant advances made in neuroscience as components of disciplinary knowledge in professor training courses. From the perspective that was adopted, this knowledge, which underlies a pedagogical knowledge, provides theoretical support for teaching, since understanding how the brain works allows for a better understanding of learning and for the consequent improvement of the didactic transposition. As a result, there is a need to revise the curricular frameworks of professor training courses, especially those involved in issuing teaching degrees, pointing, as an alternative, to the inclusion of new subjects or to the restructuring of existing ones, aiming to facilitate dialogue among neuroscience, teaching, and learning.
