The project, within its different lines of research, explores teaching and learning processes and practices in various educational settings. Its purpose is to propose and implement alternatives for the improvement of education, primarily in secondary and higher education.

The objectives are to investigate the meanings that students and teachers attribute to teaching and learning processes, as well as the construction of relationships between teachers and students, and the cognitive and socio-emotional developments that occur in the educational process.

The project employs theoretical foundations and methodological tools from both qualitative and quantitative research, such as in-depth interviews, semi-structured interviews, individual and group interviews, focus groups, in situ process observation, scales, questionnaires, and assessment instruments, among others.The relevance of the project lies in its contribution to enhancing educational practices by considering the cognitive and socio-emotional processes involved.
