Objectives
This course is part of the educational background of general scope necessary for future teachers and aims to develop research skills in education and in their area of teaching and provide moments of preparation, implementation and reflection on teaching practice in the induction of the internship work . In this direction will be presented and discussed different research methodologies, focusing particularly those that have application in teaching practice.
Particular emphasis on action research as a methodology that allows prospective teachers to investigate on their own practice is chosen. In this context it is intended to structure a first approach of research work.
