Bridging Brain Science and Neural Pathways to Pedagogical Possibilities and Classroom Practice

This chapter explores the integration of neuroscience into educational practice through the lens of neuropedagogy, to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. It presents foundational principles such as neuroplasticity, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive load theory, and connects them with practical strategies targeting attention, memory, executive function, and emotional regulation. Applications across early childhood, secondary, higher, and inclusive education are critically examined, with attention to cultural and developmental contexts. The chapter addresses infrastructural, ethical, and epistemic challenges, cautioning against neuromyths, technological overreach, and inequitable access. It concludes with forward-looking policy recommendations grounded in responsible innovation, critical teacher education, equity-oriented funding, and pluralistic research. Positioning neuropedagogy as a transformative and context-sensitive framework, the chapter emphasizes its potential to relook education as both brain-aligned and socially just.
