Objectives

”This master's degree goes beyond training you as a teacher: you will be prepared to facilitate learning and to generate and promote knowledge"

  • The general aim of the Master’s Degree is to train degree holders to be able to launch, manage and research educational transformation processes in different training contexts that allow learning to be facilitated based on innovative proposals in professional collaborative settings and through the creation of networks. The objective is to learn, launch, promote and adopt new ideas that make social transformation possible.

A critical view

You will be prepared to promote educational transformation and you will be prepared to generate and manage change/innovation from a socio-educational vision for the common good and social transformation.

A global view

You will learn to identify, understand and act in diverse learning contexts, working within and on them to facilitate learning.

Learning through research

You will learn and research training, facilitation and change processes in different contexts, building new pedagogical knowledge in teams with other professionals and promoting and adopting new ideas.

 

From teacher training to learning facilitation

It is essential that we move from teacher training to learning facilitation. Educational models based on training through theoretical exercises or repetition of topics are increasingly being questioned, especially in a context of unlimited access to content in which institutions are no longer the only (or the primary) sources of knowledge.

From content reproduction to knowledge generation

You will acquire the ability to take on challenges and work on projects. Learning facilitation emerges as a response to the need to adapt to changing environments and provide different solutions to complex problems in a variety of professional fields, including the educational, business and social fields, among others.

Tools for facilitation

You will acquire creative habits that allow you, as a facilitator, to face the challenge of transferring learning to a specific and real environment where it will have an effect on the people and organizations that benefit from its application.

Skills

  1. Interpret data gathered in scientific studies on educational innovation for the creation, presentation and defense of an original work that confirms and exemplifies the knowledge acquired throughout the teaching and learning process.
  2. Reflect critically on professional practices and projects relating to innovation aimed at the facilitation of learning in order to be able to improve those practices and promote innovation projects.
  3. Plan, develop and evaluate innovation projects in collaboration with the community and with social agents in different cultural contexts, in order to encourage a culture of innovation.
  4. Become familiar with models based on shared reflection, on dialogue and on participation for the purpose of creating and directing processes of innovation and improvement in institutions.
  5. Motivate teachers, encouraging their initiative and openness to innovation.
  6. Critically analyze the different perspectives, advances and trends regarding the sociocultural and educational impact of digitalization in 21st-century society.
  7. Facilitate learning processes by helping each student define his or her objectives and by providing him or her with appropriate tools and contexts for the development of those processes.
  8. Promote actions that guide the creation and development of networks with other agents and/or educational and community institutions.
  9. Demonstrate a comprehensive and analytical knowledge of the epistemological and methodological assumptions of qualitative and quantitative research and know how to apply them.
  10. Design and apply research projects in educational innovation in response to the needs of a given context and that serve to improve the quality of that innovation.
