Neuroleadership as an Asset in Educational Settings: An Overview

Abstract

Objectives: The goal of this research is to investigate the scientific basis for integrating neuroscience in general, and cognitive neuroscience in particular, into the field of educational leadership. In recent decades, the scientific community has shown a great interest in integrating neuroscience into higher education and the many levels of leadership education and decision-making that are crucial to a range of educational difficulties that leadership leaders are called upon to handle. Methods/Analysis: The present effort involves a systematic review of research publications published in the preceding two decades after a keyword search of reputable international databases. This review incorporates papers from Scopus, PubMed, Elsevier, and PsycINFO databases. The terms neuroleadership and education were used in combination with the four subfields outlined in the research: Among them are decision-making and problem-solving abilities, emotional control, cooperation and influence with others, and facilitation of change. Findings: The review's results underscore the vital relevance of neuroscience integration into educational leadership difficulties and highlight ethical concerns regarding its deployment in educational settings. Novelty /Improvement: The novelty of this work is that it conducted a review of the literature on neuroleadership using a combination of executive function parameters, more precisely cognitive flexibility, decision-making, problem-solving, emotional regulation, the mirror neuron system, and behavioral data from studies conducted in educational and administrative settings.

Emotional Neuroscience and Learning. An Overview

“…Particularly, learning, which helps individuals develop, develop improved ways of thinking, acquire knowledge, and acquire new abilities and skills, can be more effective when the individual understands emotions and their effects on the learning process. The present study focuses on emotional neuroscience and its relationship to learning, presenting key findings and conclusions derived from a review of recent literature (Antonopoulou et al, 2022;Antonopoulou et al, 2021;Giannoulis et al, 2022;Gkintoni et al, 2022a;2022b;Gkintoni et al, 2021). In particular, the connection between neuroscience and education will be studied.…”

Educational Neuroscience in Academic Environment. A Conceptual Review

“…In contrast, neuroscience has offered a challenge to organizational management and given organizational and leadership performance a new meaning (Halkiopoulos et al, 2020). Neuroscientific data may be important in defining educational leadership in terms of cognition, particularly in terms of academic leaders' decisionmaking, problem-solving, emotional control, and personal traits (Gkintoni et al, 2022a).…”

Neuroeducation and Artistic Expression. An Overview from the Biopsychology Viewpoint

“…Each artistic discipline engages distinct sensory systems. According to the findings of studies (Gkintoni et al, 2017;Gkintoni et al, 2022a) a comprehensive analysis of the various brain regions involved in each art form is provided. For instance, Daniel Levitin, a psychologist and neuroscientist, has discovered that a region of the cerebellum is involved in some of the emotional aspects of music, as listening, composition, and movement all involve cerebellar regions (Hardiman et al, 2009).…”
