A REVIEW OF THE ADVP METHOD IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEUROEDUCATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
This paper revisits the ADVP model (Pelletier et al., 1974) through the lens of neuroeducation. It elucidates the connection between specific cognitive functions and the mental processes activated by students during career decision-making. The revised model aligns with the concept of the teaching brain (Gola, 2024), guiding educators in designing teaching–learning processes that, akin to the UDL framework, foster student agency, encouraging reflection, authentic engagement, and strategic decision-making.
