COLPAS CASTILLO, Fredy; TARON DUNOYER, Arnulfo  e  GONZALEZ CUELLO, Rafael. INFLUENCE OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE MOTIVATION AND ATTENTION OF STUDENTS FOR THE LEARNING OF CHEMISTRY. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.1, pp.227-233. ISSN 0123-4226.  https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v21.n1.2018.681.

Many researchers stated that only through conscience about differences and similarities on education, environment and neurosciences it will be possible to achieve a solid base for get an integrated science including the education, brain, mind and learning. The objective of this study was to determine if the learning environment and neuroscience influence the attention and motivation of engineering students, resulting in changes on academic performance. The tests were conducted employing two university students groups taking the subject general chemistry of which 75% were male and 25% female, with ages between 17 and 21 years. It is important to clear that both students groups had different learning environment. The first group was taught in conventional learning environments, the second one was taught in a non-conventional environments, with teachers trained to apply the concepts of neuroscience. The Brickenkamp - Zillmer test d2 was employed to evaluate the student’s attention capacity while the Likert test was used in order to evaluate the influence of learning environments. The results showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the results with respect to academic performance, for both groups which is important to take into account in future education projects that allow a real transformation teaching of chemistry in engineering programs.
