Resum

La neurociència educativa es pot veure a través de dues lents: com a disciplina acadèmica i com a pràctica professional. Aquesta revisió se centra específicament en aquesta última, argumentant que una visió clara del panorama professional del camp és tan important com definir els seus límits disciplinaris. En aquest context, la primera part d'aquesta revisió examina si la neurociència educativa compleix els criteris d'especialització professional. L'anàlisi mostra que la neurociència educativa compleix els estàndards d'una especialitat professional, amb experts que disposen de la formació i les habilitats necessàries per proporcionar serveis educatius a persones, grups o organitzacions. En conseqüència, mereixen l'autorització legal i el reconeixement formal com els seus companys d'altres disciplines. No obstant això, per a aplanar el camí per al reconeixement professional, els neurocientífics educatius han d'esbossar clarament les oportunitats professionals dins de l'àmbit i articular els rols i les habilitats que requereix cada carrera. En conseqüència, la segona part del treball es dedica a identificar les oportunitats professionals potencials dels graduats en neurociència educativa. Actualment, les oportunitats de carrera per als neurocientífics educatius sovint es limiten a rols acadèmics en universitats i col·legis o la participació en institucions de recerca. No obstant això, a mesura que es desenvolupa el camp, hi ha potencial per a un ventall més ampli de noves i emocionants oportunitats professionals, com ara científics-practicants que treballen amb educadors per dissenyar intervencions pedagògiques efectives i escriptors de ciències educatives que tradueixen troballes científiques complexes en materials clars i accessibles per al públic. Per ajudar al fet que el camp prosperi com a professió, és molt recomanable crear xarxes digitals per a professionals de neurociència educativa de diversos orígens. Aquestes xarxes els proporcionarien oportunitats per compartir experiències, intercanviar perspectives i configurar activament la pràctica professional dins del camp.
