Dear reader community,

We hope you have had a great start to the year. YVIRÁ begins 2026 with good news: the debut of another section on science for education that incorporates the quality content that our readers have known since the first edition.

From now on, in “Science Counts,” researchers invited by YVIRÁ will delve into scientific studies on our theme and explain the innovations and findings behind various articles, all in simple and accessible language for our audience. In addition to updating our readers, the idea is that the material can help support pedagogical practices, always based on scientific evidence.

At the same time, the sections that have accompanied us since YVIRÁ 1 continue with relevant themes. We present an article on mental health in schools and a review of the documentary released by the CpE Network about the vibrant “Escola no Quintal” project.

In this edition, our readers will also be able to understand how neurobiological factors impact learning and delve into the important debate on distance education in Higher Education, whose enrollments have broken records in Brazil.

We also take this opportunity to wish our readership community an excellent 2026 and invite you all to participate more actively in our content, commenting on articles and sending suggestions about what you would like to see in our digital publication, either via email or social media.

YVIRÁ only exists because we believe in this rich and valuable exchange between science and education. And YVIRÁ, which in Tupi-Guarani means “tree,” only grows and bears fruit because you are with us.

Editorial Committee
