Abstract:
The meaningful learning theory considers the education as the set of cognitive, affective and psychomotor experiences that contribute for the learner's development. The relationships between meaningful and affectivity can be deepened from a theoretical base of neurocognitive psychology. In this text we consider some theoretical elements for the deepening and the explicit consideration of the emotional source of the knowledge and the meaningful learning articulating the Novak's educational theory and the neurobiology theory of António Damásio.
Keywords:
