Cognitive Neuroscience Applied to Education has experienced constant development in the Dominican Republic since 2009. The knowledge provided by neuroscience to understand the role of cognitive functions and emotions in learning has revolutionized teachers throughout the country. in an increasing way. However, a creative and innovative vision of education that prioritizes inclusion, respect for diversity, collaboration, social responsibility, critical thinking, and scientific evidence; needs an innovative proposal for teacher training at all levels of the educational system. From 2009 to 2022, not only were crucial topics of Cognitive Neuroscience Applied to Education in the Dominican Republic deepened, but also the levels of dissemination and understanding of the profound need for transformation of the Dominican educational system so that it can respond to the Neuroeducation proposals.
