Neurociência cognitiva e habilidades de gênero uma analise do desempenho cognitivo de estudantes brasileiros avaliados no pisa

Abstract

In this article we present an approach to cognitive neuroscience focused on the mind-brain relationship, with an emphasis on cognitive skills inherent in human genres. Our objective is to highlight the new paradigms of cognitive neuroscience and discuss them with some results presented in the International Student Assessment Program (Pisa) held in 2012, observing peculiar aspects of the cognitive performance of students from the North of Brazil, as well as the differences of gender found in the research. The main authors used in our theoretical foundation were Eliot (2013), Lent (2013) and Houzel (2000; 2013). The methodological path was anchored in bibliographic research and in the discussion of the quantitative data analyzed from some results verified by the International Student Assessment Program (PISA). The results indicated that many gender differences in relation to cognitive skills in mathematics, science and language may be related to the educational and socio-cultural dimensions in which boys and girls are exposed from an early age. Keywords: Cognitive neuroscience. Neuroplasticity. Genres. Learning.
