Abstract

Expecting the foundations of cognitive ontogeny to be in considerable concord with phylogeny, we claim that a possible “coordination” of the brain’s neural networks phylo-ontogenetic dynamics and cognitive devices with a proper preschool and school education, a theory termed “biopedagogism”, could strengthen physically the relative structures, thus having a deep positive impact on teaching/learning/education; biopedagogism is expected to result in an easier, faster and deeper acquisition of knowledge and more effective learning during schooling and thereafter. Such an enhancement could be achieved by culturing and developing, in a hierarchical, interactive and progressive fashion, some primary, fundamental and central for human’s learning competences, those being the technological (T), social (S), language-literacy (L), and numeracy (N); to this extent some specific examples for schooling and suggestions for educators are also given.
