Strategic Focus

The objective of the group is to contribute to the strengthening of the training of university professors and teachers in training, as researchers in the field of university didactics. To this end, we conceptually study general didactics, special and specific didactics, as well as the relationship between didactics and the curriculum, didactic innovations, the relationship between aesthetics and education and the didactics of geography, understood as areas for the development of society, science, culture and the arts.

Our main interest is to contribute to the creation of knowledge around the study of the university as a social institution responsible for the creation, preservation and dissemination of culture and knowledge and university didactics as a way to communicate and enable the social appropriation of such knowledge.
