Resumo: Despite all the recent investment by the scientific community related to the contribution of neuroscience to education, there are still many problems that continue to delay the success of this possible partnership. The dissemination of myths that obscure the advances of neuroscience for education has been a major problem in basic education. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate brain knowledge and the prevalence of neuromyths among elementary and high school students in the Federal District. To do so, students were asked to answer an online questionnaire containing 32 statements, 16 of which were designed to assess knowledge about the brain and the remaining 16 statements are neuromyths. The average score for knowledge about the brain was 55.1% and the average score for neuromyths was 43.1%. The results allow for the conclusion that a gap in neuroscience-related knowledge persists among students in basic education.

La difusión de mitos que ocultan los avances de la neurociencia para la educación ha sido un problema importante en la educación básica. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el conocimiento del cerebro y la prevalencia de los neuromitos entre los estudiantes de primaria y secundaria en el Distrito Federal. Para ello, se pidió a los estudiantes que respondieran a un cuestionario en línea que contenía 32 afirmaciones, 16 de las cuales estaban diseñadas para evaluar los conocimientos sobre el cerebro y las 16 restantes son neuromitos. La puntuación media de los conocimientos sobre el cerebro fue del 55,1% y la de los neuromitos del 43,1%. Los resultados permiten concluir que persiste una brecha en los conocimientos relacionados con las neurociencias entre los estudiantes de educación básica.Apesar de todo o investimento recente da comunidade científica relacionada a contribuição da neurociência para a educação, ainda são muitos os problemas que continuam a adiar o sucesso desta possível parceria.

Para tanto os estudantes foram convidados a responderem um questionário online contendo 32 afirmações sendo que 16 delas foram elaboradas para avaliar o conhecimento sobre o cérebro e as 16 afirmações restantes são neuromitos.
