Research activity
My main lines of research are related to motivation and self-regulation of learning in secondary school students. In particular, my research focuses mainly on the self-management of errors by students, to promote the learning to learn competence as a means to facilitate attention diversity outreach. Another of my lines of research of interest is the univeristy students' dropout and the abandonment of scientific options in high school students.
Professional experience
Throughout my professional career I have worked as a social educator and pedagogue in different companies and social organizations.I have been a professor in education degrees at different public and private universities. Currently, I develop my teaching and research work in the Department of Research Methods and Diagnosis in Education II (OEDIP) of the Faculty of Education of the UNED.
Educational management experience
I currently hold the position of Academic Secretary of the Master's Degree in Innovation and Research in Education taught at the Faculty of Education of the UNED.
