Seminar on Innovation and Educational Change

October 30, 2015
From October 22 to November 20, 2015, the Seminar on Innovation and Educational Change (online format) will take place. Organized by the Center for Continuing Education in Higher Education (CAES) of the Institute of Education, the seminar is aimed at university faculty.

It is led by Dr. Carina Lion, an instructor in the Fundamentals of Educational Technology and Distance Education in the Educational Sciences program at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires.

The course offers an exploration of innovations that, paradoxically, are now part of educational traditions. It analyzes approaches to designing practices that provide different frameworks for rethinking educational institutions, reevaluating the role of teachers, and enriching students’ comprehensive learning processes.

This journey incorporates debates surrounding the inclusion of technologies in teaching, reflections on changes in the curriculum, and the ways in which knowledge is constructed in the contemporary world from political, cultural, pedagogical, and didactic perspectives.

Lion holds a Ph.D. in Education, is a Specialist in Teacher Training, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Educational Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). She is a researcher at the Institute for Research in Educational Sciences at the UBA. She is the director of the Center for Innovation in Technology and Pedagogy at the UBA. She is a member of the Conectar Igualdad Advisory Council of the Government of Argentina. She serves as a thesis advisor for the Doctorate in Education program and as a professor and graduate tutor at the Institute of Education.
