Lines of investigation
Main Line:
EDUCATIONAL EVALUATION
This research focuses on evaluative practices at different educational levels—preschool, primary, secondary, and higher education—from various conceptual frameworks (measurement and understanding), and their impact. It encompasses the areas of learning assessment, institutional evaluation, and teaching evaluation, with a particular emphasis on initial and ongoing teacher training.
Sub-lines:
PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND THE TEACHING PROFESSION
This line of research—as its name suggests—focuses on the construction and application of knowledge acquired through teaching practice and reflection, with the aim of understanding the teacher-learner interaction both within pedagogical practice and the culture of educational institutions. It draws upon and contributes to the discussion of learning, teaching, and assessment theories, didactics, and professional identity.
CITIZENSHIP, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Its object of study is education as a political act involving the right to education and social justice. It addresses the various problems of educational assessment in relation to diversity among people in specific contexts. It seeks to contribute to the generation of knowledge that promotes educational inclusion.
