Research in the Pedagogy Classroom: The Student Research. Teaching Coordination Project in Health Emergencies and Pandemics

Abstract

Introduction. The main proposal is to establish the university classroom in the research projects for all students’ environments. The classroom would be based on their own interests in relation to the definition of the subject, so that the practical section becomes the backbone of the organization of the course and can serve to contextualize the methodological and epistemological issues, without renouncing them. Methodology. This project has its origin in a teaching coordination project started in the 2019-20 academic year. It is realized by an action-research methodology based on acting and knowing from the proposed activities. In this sense the information was collected on the activities carried out from the survey methodology. Results. The results obtained during the development of this project in students of the Faculties of Educational Sciences of the University of Malaga, shows that participants favor thinking that both the acquisition of research skills and the awareness of the development of academic, scientific, and professional skills have occurred in the pedagogy classroom based on the development of activities, among several designed, such as "Research Lines". Selection of thematic areas of interest by the student looking for the work and analyzing it, investigating about it, with the skills that this entails. Conclusions. The subject was considered of interest because from the objectives to the proposed activities they are considered a sine qua non condition in the student and professional of Education, in general, and in Pedagogy, in particular. All this, even more, if possible, forces the Education professional to broaden horizons and gain development and research skills. The latter, perhaps, somewhat reviled in the educational (and school) field.
