Neuroeducation is a discipline that is based on knowledge of the brain, how it learns and how this knowledge allows to improve learning teaching processes, where teaching is approached from other possibilities, especially at a time when education requires substantial changes leading to quality education, as proposed in the fourth Sustainable Development Goal. This article is the result of a research process that aims to develop a pedagogical proposal aimed at improving the motivation of students of the bachelor's in physical education, starting from strategies focused on the model Brain-Targeted Teaching (BTT) based on the principles of Neuroeducation. The control group sample (GrCtr) is defined as the Movement Analysis module ( n = 38) and the experimental group (GrEx) as the Physiology of Physical Activity module ( n = 24). A study of mixed methods was carried out using a quasi-experimental pretest posttest design. Data collection was carried out through the application of the self-regulatory learning questionnaire. For the data analysis, normality tests were applied finding that the data have no normal distribution; for what, we try to normalize the distribution to meet the assumptions of parametric tests through logarithmic transformation and square root, even so, no significant changes are presented, therefore, the non-parametric U -test of Mann–Whitney is used, finding statistical significance in five items of the questionnaire. The results obtained suggest an association between the implementation of the proposal and favorable changes in specific components of academic motivation in university students.
