The Master’s Degree in Education and Teaching is based on the need to train professionals capable of understanding and improving educational processes in a social, cultural, and technological context that is constantly evolving. The program begins with the study of learning and educational theories as the foundation for designing well-grounded pedagogical practices, incorporating a competency-based approach and the analysis of training processes. It also addresses key factors that influence learning, such as curriculum design, educational assessment, and new learning environments, promoting the development of innovative and reflective pedagogical strategies.

The curriculum also integrates essential areas for contemporary teaching practice, including tutorial guidance, the pedagogical use of information and communication technologies (ICT), intercultural education, conflict resolution, and environmental education. Likewise, the program emphasizes attention to diversity, the organization and management of educational institutions, and the development of research skills. This training culminates in the completion of the Master’s Thesis, through which students apply scientific research methods to analyze educational issues and contribute to the improvement of teaching practice.
