Resumen
El enfoque principal de este trabajo didáctico es la educación sobre las creencias populares acerca del cerebro. Tanto profesores como estudiantes están constantemente expuestos a información presentada como científica por diferentes medios, incluidos familiares y medios de comunicación, que difunden neuromitos. Esta sobreinformación, combinada con una falta de contenido en los currículos educativos y un insuficiente entendimiento por parte de los docentes, ha llevado a una generalizada desinformación en este ámbito. Ante esta realidad, surge la necesidad de crear materiales didácticos innovadores. Este trabajo presenta un juego de tablero educativo centrado en desmitificar los neuromitos más comunes. El juego, desarrollado bajo una iniciativa de acceso abierto, es versátil y adaptable a diversos niveles educativos, desde primaria hasta educación superior, siendo también una herramienta valiosa para la formación inicial de profesores.
