The central objective of the Master's in Teaching is to improve professional teaching practice; therefore, its object of study is professional teaching praxis. That is, it examines the reflective, contextualized, and intentional action that combines theoretical elements with the varied interactions between teaching and learning. This object of study is approached from the perspectives of educational sciences, pedagogical models, and the history of teaching. More specific objectives:
- To contribute to the solution of disciplinary, interdisciplinary or professional problems inherent to teaching practice such as evaluation, curriculum, teaching and teaching strategies.
- To awaken in master's students the reflective spirit, oriented towards the achievement of personal autonomy, within the framework of freedom of thought and ideological pluralism.
- To develop creativity and innovation by fostering analytical and comprehensive skills, in order to generate knowledge about reality and the environment, so that it can be used as an instrument for change, development and social transformation.
- To contribute to the building of social fabric and the development of civic skills through reflection, practice and research.
