The University Master's Degree in Strategies and Technologies for the Teaching Function in the Multicultural Society (ESTRATIC), is framed under the official title of Research Master of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The training program covers two areas: (1) Teacher training in a multicultural society and (2) Strategies and technologies for education and knowledge. This is an internal organization and therefore they are options that are NOT reflected in the Title.

Teacher training in a multicultural society

It focuses on the specialized training of teachers and other education professionals in the teaching-didactic function in a multicultural society. This Master gathers the consolidated experience in doctoral courses and current lines of research, which have borne fruit in numerous doctoral theses, projects and publications of the Group and Research: Professional development: training and educational and intercultural innovation and media design (ForInterMed. Ref: UNED -125).

Some of the lines of research that are promoted are: Didactic models, methods and processes, application of teaching-learning strategies, emotional intelligence, and knowledge management, by the education professional in multicultural settings.

Strategies and technologies for education and knowledge

It focuses on the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teacher and professional training of educational institutions in the context of the knowledge society. Among the lines of research that are promoted stand out the design, development and evaluation of technological resources that offer innovative alternatives for the improvement of teaching and research activities in multicultural environments.

Objectives

• Develop models, methods and processes for the construction of an intercultural climate and for the integral improvement of teachers and training institutions.

• Use technologies to improve the training process of their own students, and to deepen their research, teaching, and management work.
• Contribute to personal development and social justice in the use of media in multicultural contexts.
• Prepare the Final Master's Project as the culmination of the research training process.
