Action Research seeks to instrument students with the resources needed to carry out a reflexive practice, based on scientific evidence. The development of an action research plan, resulting from the problems felt during his internship, provides a field of testing and development of scientific skills that will allow the student a constant updating of his practice.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This Course Unit is interconnected with the internship, in the sense that students develop a pre-project that seeks to address a problem experienced during their internship. Additionally, students have the opportunity to present and submit their proposals twice for formative evaluation by teachers. This creates a dynamic in the teaching-learning process where mistakes are seen as opportunities for improvement. Finally, the work proposals aim to be interconnected with CIDEFES' research lines, leading to a deeper integration between the work developed in the master's program and FEFD's research.
