The professors, Dr. Haylen Perines and Dr. Laura Espinoza, were invited to present their respective research works developed within the framework of various educational instances.

With the purpose of exchanging knowledge and experiences, and promoting research in the area of ​​education, the researchers who are members of the Integrated Management of Pedagogies Unit (UGIP) traveled to Spain to participate in different meetings, round tables, and conferences. and meetings.

On the one hand, Dr. Perines presented the first progress of the Fondecyt initiation project “Presence and importance of educational research in pedagogical training and its assessment by students and teachers” at the XIX International Educational Research Congress AIDIPE 2019, organized by the Interuniversity Research Association in the city of Madrid. On the occasion, the researcher delved into the importance and presence of educational research in teacher training programs.

“Conferences are very relevant instances for a researcher because they share research experiences from which it is possible to learn a lot and exchange ideas (…) The situation of teacher training in Chile is not very different from other Ibero-American countries, therefore, my presentation aroused the interest of other professionals regarding training in educational research as a relevant topic that has not yet been sufficiently studied,” commented the professor.

Dr. Espinoza also participated in the AIDIPE Congress with the work “Cooperative learning in training in Inclusive Educational Management: Experience within the framework of a FLIP class”, and also presented “Flipped classroom and cooperative work in Chilean higher education” at the International Congress CINDU University Teaching 2019 (University of Vigo), both in collaboration with the academic Alexis Araya (Central University of Chile). Likewise, in this last instance, the researcher was a panelist in the round table "Innovative Experiences in University Classrooms", together with academics from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and the University of Braganza (Portugal).

On the other hand, at the V Meeting of the Inche Network (Network of Chilean Researchers in Spain) he developed the workshop "How do we learn? A look from Cognitive Neuroscience" at the University of Barcelona. Finally, the researcher carried out a technical stay at the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology (Universitat de València), in which she held work meetings with Dr. Amparo Ygual with the purpose of discussing collaborative research topics (preparation of articles , from a book funded by DIDULS and design of future research).

“In my professional work, participating in these instances contributes, on the one hand, to creating new links with other international university institutions and maintaining existing ones, which allow research in alliance. And in addition, it allows dissemination in academic instances of what has been done up to now within the framework of research for the PMI FIP ULS 1501. In that sense, the experience was quite gratifying,” concluded the researcher.
