The projects seek to generate evidence and recommendations to strengthen decision-making in critical areas of the school system and early childhood education.

The new doctoral students began their training in educational research at a welcome ceremony led by authorities and academics from the UC Faculty of Education.

The program —aimed at professionals from different disciplines seeking to train as secondary school teachers— began its new academic year with a welcome led by authorities and academics from the UC Faculty of Education.

Six academics from UC Education will be part of four projects selected for funding in Fondecyt Regular 2026, with lines of research that address school and early childhood education, numerical cognition, artificial intelligence and doctoral training.

The initiatives led by academics from the UC Faculty of Education were selected in the 38th FONDEDOC 2026 Competition. They address key challenges of university teaching, such as pedagogical innovation, gender, teacher training and didactic updating.

With 598 in-person attendees and 1.483 connections via YouTube, the meeting held on January 14 at the Alameda UC Extension Center brought together national and international experts to analyze opportunities, risks and challenges of artificial intelligence in school and higher education.

The meeting was organized within the framework of the FONDECYT Project No. 1241017 "Ideologies and practices of Citizenship Education in Basic Education: What do directors, teachers and students say and do?", led by UC Education academic Carmen Gloria Zúñiga.

The initiative, led by academic Cecilia Ramírez and co-investigated by Maili Ow, seeks to articulate a collaborative platform for creation and research, and strengthen cooperation with Chad in education and promotion of women from Guera.

CELITED began its public work with the Academic Meeting 'Keys to School Improvement in Diverse Contexts', held within the framework of the UC International Summit on Education 2026 and the XV Inter-American Conference on School Management and Leadership.

Academics and practicum coordinators shared research and reflections on situated teacher training and triad feedback. The Faculty highlighted its commitment to reflective, situated, and high-quality initial teacher training.

The UC Education academic will lead the Center for the Well-being and Development of Adolescence and Childhood in the Digital Age (BAND), an initiative funded by ANID that seeks to generate interdisciplinary evidence to strengthen the well-being and development of children and adolescents and guide public policies considering their digital lives.

The awards reflect high-quality academic collaboration, both within the Faculty and in conjunction with other units of the UC.
