The development of constructivistic theories has had an impact on the role of the student and the teacher in educational contexts. Currently, the student is expected to be the protagonist in the classroom, be responsible for their own learning, while the teacher fulfills a role of enabler.
Research, reflections and strategies about student centered education will be explored within this thematic axis that, considering its benefits inside and outside the classroom.
Teacher training involves constant updating, not only in their specific field, but also in pedagogical matters. This thematic axis will focus on educational innovation as an important aspect for the continuous development of the teacher. The main practices, proposals and concerns of the teachers will be reviewed to innovate in their training with the aim of improving the teaching-learning process.
Currently, it is not only important that education considers development as a production outcome, but also that the reflection on the impact of decisions on the environment and the sustainability is taken into account. The main objective of this thematic axis is to explore the best ways to approach issues such as sustainability, environmental impact, moral and ethical awareness in the classroom. This will allow contributing to the development of responsible professionals committed to their environment.
One way to enrich the teaching process is to integrate aspects such as research and extension. Integrating research into teaching involves including findings and / or research processes in the development of the courses. Teaching and extension are integrated when the university community contributes to the development of its context. In this conference, proposals that integrate the teaching and research, teaching and extension processes or a combination of the previous two will be discussed.
