Le neuroscienze possono informare la didattica? Il parere degli esperti

In the last decades, the relationship between neuroscience and teaching has been the topic of discussion of two contrasting perspectives: the first is in support of this relationship, because it recognizes the potential of neuroscience to inform teaching practices; the second wants to raise intransitable barriers between the two fields of knowledge and clear boundaries between the two areas. By focusing on these two contrasting visions, the aim of the paper is to present the results of a qualitative study carried out thanks to the participation of seven experts of neuro-scientific fields. They were interviewed for collecting their point of view on the possibility to build a relationship between the two fields of knowledge. Data collected, on one hand, confirm the presence of the two currents of thought; on the other hand, alongside a lot of food for thought relatively a possible dialogue between the two disciplines, show that the construction of interdisciplinary research fields could be considered
