The Laboratory for Innovation in Education (LabInEd - SEJ-655) is a research group that emerges with the objective of integrating teaching innovation in the educational field through the use of didactic and technological resources in various teaching and learning contexts. Under the direction of Dr. Santiago Alonso García, this group is consolidated as a reference in educational research, with a focus on continuous improvement of pedagogical practice and teacher professional development.
The areas of the LabInEd group are framed within the following areas defined by UNESCO:
- Education
- Educational Organization and Planning
- Didactics and School Organization
- Technological Innovation
LabInEd develops several lines of research in order to promote and strengthen knowledge on educational innovation and technological integration in teaching and learning processes. Its main lines of research are:
- Digital Teaching Competence: Analysis and development of strategies to improve the digital skills of teachers in the educational context.
- Educational Innovation: Study and application of new methodologies and pedagogical approaches that favor active and meaningful learning.
- Didactic and Technological Resources for Education: Evaluation of the impact of technological tools in the improvement of the teaching-learning process.
- E-learning: Research in virtual and distance learning environments, optimizing the educational experience in digital platforms.
In terms of Academic collaborations, the LabInEd group maintains a strong network of academic collaboration with other research groups that share common interests and objectives in educational innovation and the integration of technologies in education. Among them are:
- Analysis of Educational Reality (AREA) - HUM-672.
- Leadership, Development and Educational Research (LEADER) - SEJ-604
- Research, Innovation & Technology in Education (RITE) - SEJ-607
LabInEd is committed to generating knowledge that transforms education through the implementation of innovative strategies and emerging technologies. Through its research and collaborations, it seeks to contribute to the development of methodologies that optimize teaching practice and improve educational quality at all levels.
Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach and its network of collaborations, LabInEd is positioned as a benchmark in educational research, committed to the transformation of the educational system and the training of highly qualified professionals for the challenges of 21st century education.
