  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Considering the typology of this UC (theoretical-practical), based on scientific documents, problem situations and issues of educational contexts, a micro research study will be constructed, where ethical issues, the paradigm and the typology of the research will be considered. The methodological design, data collection methods and data analysis techniques will be defined. And, after collecting data in the field, it is intended that they interpret and disseminate it in a scientific article. In this way, it is intended that students experience the entire research process in education. Intervention projects in educational contexts will also be analyzed.
