Abstract

The consumption of psychoactive substances in young people is alarming and it is the duty of educational institutions to respond to this great challenge with projects that prevent and mitigate the problem; For this reason, this research project implemented a community participation strategy based on project-based learning, PBL, as an innovative methodology in the teaching-learning processes mediated by ICT. The PBL methodology offers students the possibility to manage, analyze, and synthesize a final product that specifically responds to the challenge formulated by each research team. This project has its theoretical foundation in the contribution of neuroscience, which was very important to understand the functioning of the brain, and the affectations due to the consumption of psychoactive substances PAS. An analysis of the incidence of the pedagogical strategy showed that the greater the knowledge of risk factors and the negative impact of psychoactive substances, the greater the prevention of drug consumption by students
