Abstract

The hints offered both by Neuroeducation research and by the theories on the mind, within the national scientific debate, encourage reflection on possible ways of implementing the teaching / learning process. Communicative teaching approaches such the Brain-based ones, with particular reference to ‘Brain-gym’ (Mac Lean, 1975, Dennison, 2010) and educational activities aimed at developing the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2008) are the keynotes of the present research, carried out with 385 secondary school teachers working in the province of Caltanissetta during the school year 2020/2021. Through the research process we wanted to verify the validity of the Brain-based model in order to enhance didactic communication reinforcing teachers’ linguistic-pragmatic skill and communicative-teaching competence.
