ÈPRAXIS: Competència ètica en la recerca de professionals de l’educació

ÈPRAXIS és un projecte de recerca que estudia la competència ètica en la recerca desenvolupada per professionals de l’educació social, l’acció comunitària i la intervenció socioeducativa.

El projecte analitza com es conceptualitza aquesta competència en la literatura científica, identifica els marcs institucionals i normatius que la regulen o promouen, i explora com els professionals la construeixen i la posen en pràctica en contextos reals.

Mitjançant una scoping review, la tècnica Delphi i grups de discussió, la recerca ofereix una visió conceptual, institucional i aplicada de la competència ètica en la practitioner enquiry.

URANIA: la ciencia también se juega

URANIA es un proyecto de investigación de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona que explora el potencial educativo del juego de mesa para acercar la investigación científica al alumnado de ciclo superior de primaria.

Mediante el codiseño, la implementación y la evaluación de un juego educativo, el proyecto promueve el pensamiento científico, la colaboración y el pensamiento crítico, al mismo tiempo que impulsa metodologías competenciales alineadas con el currículo actual.

Los centros participantes colaboran activamente en el proceso de investigación y reciben los recursos educativos desarrollados durante el proyecto.

TEACHer: Self-Developed Teacher Education Research Ethics Competency

While there is widespread support for the notion of teacher-as-researcher, and numerous national organisations provide funding and policies to guide teacher research, no organisations take responsibility for providing ethics advice. This project aims to develop innovative digital resources that can be used by teachers who do not have ethics oversight to enhance their education research ethics (ERE) competence, thus building their capacity and confidence to engage with classroom-based research that is not harmful to themselves or others. The resources produced are being created in partership with and tested by teacher-researchers.

International Teaching Clinic Network

The International Teaching Clinic Network (ITCN) project aimed to scale and transfer the benefits of Teaching Clinics (TCs) across international teacher education programs. Its overarching goal was to build a transnational network that enhances the quality, flexibility, and impact of teacher education by embedding service-learning and research-based teaching practices into collaborative, real-world contexts.

The project engaged pre-service and in-service teachers through virtual and in-person events, training sessions, and digital platforms, fostering cross-border exchange and professional development. The ITCN also seeked to produce high-quality digital resources, expand the diversity of student-led educational projects, and conduct continuous evaluation of its impact on teaching and learning ecosystems.

EBPGAME: Evidence-Based Practice Escape Room for Healthcare Education

The  EBPGAME project aimed to design and implement an innovative digital escape room to enhance knowledge and application of Evidence-Based Practice among healthcare students and professionals. The escape room simulated realistic clinical scenarios in a safe, interactive environment, allowing participants—individually or collaboratively—to assess patient cases without bearing the full responsibility of real-life clinical decisions.

Developed with direct input from target users, the game followed a multi-stage process: initial design, mock‑up creation and feedback workshops, pilot testing to evaluate user satisfaction and knowledge gains, and final implementation. After refinement, the escape room was embedded in the curricula of partner institutions and disseminated to reach both educational and professional healthcare environments.

By bridging the gap between theoretical learning and clinical application, EBPGAME offered a dynamic, engaging method for building EBP competencies. Additionally, it seeked to boost the visibility and attractiveness of nursing and broader healthcare professions, helping to improve public perception and encourage student enrollment.
