Abstract

This article introduces Neuro-Learning through sample studies and researches carried out in the area of mathematics. In like manner, it introduces this new science which people had not thought of before; currently, it is more profoundly visualized in the teaching-learning process of mathematics. The figure of the teacher and how his well-formed knowledge on the way students learn are given great emphasis since he can use this knowledge to better carry out his work as a teacher. Here, the brain is seen as the human organ that can be gradually strengthened for people´s own benefit. All studies carried out until today show us that this science of “learning how to learn” will change the way how people face and focus on the diversity of problems and events that we must know in order to improve the entire educational, psychological and biological process.
