1st National Congress of Master’s Programs in EducationResearch and Pedagogical Innovation · 2027

Overview

The Master’s in Education program at Universidad de Concepción, in collaboration with the Master’s in Education program at Universidad de Tarapacá, invites graduate students, university academics, school leadership teams, practicing teachers and education researchers to participate in the 1st National Congress of Master’s Programs in Education: Research and Pedagogical Innovation.

This academic event seeks to promote the exchange of research, action-research experiences, pedagogical innovations and improvement proposals connected to the Chilean education system, fostering dialogue among graduate education, professional teaching practice, educational management and the production of situated knowledge.

Rationale
