Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between neuroeducation and physical activity on students' academic motivation. It is framed within a quantitative approach, using a non-experimental correlational research design. The Pearson correlation between the combined variable of academic motivation and physical activity and neuroeducation is 0.85. The results of this study highlight neuroeducation as a comprehensive pedagogical approach that significantly enhances students' academic motivation and physical activity, demonstrating its ability to positively influence academic well-being and performance. The strong correlation observed suggests that neuroeducational strategies not only facilitate deeper learning, but also foster a more inclusive and personalised learning environment, able to respond to the diverse cognitive and physical needs of students.
