Postdoctoral Researcher in Brazil: «I learned new strategies for collaborative work»

PhD. in Education, Jonathan Andrades, completed an internship at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, located in Brazil, where he learned about new research strategies used for university teaching.

Generating an international network of experts in teacher training in the context of higher education is the highest aspiration of Jonathan Andrades, a postdoctoral researcher at UCM’s Department of Research in University Teaching (DIDU).

This was expressed by the doctor in Education, when evaluating his recent internship at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), located in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

«There I had the opportunity to meet an international reference on the subject, Marília Costa Morosini, from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul. During my visit, I gave a master lecture to Pedagogy students at the UFRGS, on teacher training in Chile. The objectives were to learn about their research in teaching and to make the first links for an international network,» he said.

Professor of Biology and Natural Sciences and a specialist in curriculum and evaluation, Andrades belongs to one of the youngest units of the Vice-Rectory for Research and Graduate Studies on the campus. Created in 2022, the DIDU already has a core of researchers in formative processes.

«The university I visited offer numerous refresher courses and courses on the discipline. In addition, they emphasizes on collaborative work, organized in small groups or sub-cores. We are going to restructure our core from an upcoming call, to facilitate new collaborative work strategies, including sub-cores, whose representatives will join together in a larger, more collegiate and systematic group,» he explained.
