  • Adapting the "course of action" method to the study of knowledge 
  • Empirical studies and theoretical analysis of the processes of professionalization, skill development, and the formation of professional identity in human services professions (social work, health care, education, and training)

Courses

  • Training and support for the development of educational engineering projects
  • Research Methodology and Activity Analysis: Master’s in Early Childhood Education (MEEF) and Continuing Education for Elementary School Teachers
