The Master`s Program in Teaching Processes, Management and Innovation has two research groups: "Teacher Training and Pedagogical Practices" and "Organization and Management of Educational Institutions".
The "Teacher Training and Pedagogical Practices" research group encompasses investigations focused on the various stages of teacher training and professional performance, considering institutional contexts, levels, and different types of teaching, as well as the various aspects involved in pedagogical practice. These studies focus on the life and work paths of teachers, concepts, and characteristics of pedagogical practices, as well as research related to the processes of socialization, teaching, and learning in the different curricular components within the scope of school education. The aim is that the set of these investigations, based on theoretical contributions from the area of Education, contribute to the understanding of teacher training and work in educational relationships.

The research group "Organization and Management of Educational Institutions" aims to contribute to the advancement of academic production on the issue of public policies for education and their repercussions on the performance of management teams of schools and other educational institutions regarding leadership, organization, and ongoing training in service, as well as the reading and use of educational indicators in planning actions. Since it is linked to a professional postgraduate course, emphasis is placed on theoretical studies, empirical research, and performance in educational management, in various areas and modalities.

It is important to emphasize that the two groups are in constant dialogue with each other and that they bring together professors and researchers with vast experience in the field of Education, guiding the development of bibliographical, legal and empirical research and intervention plans that contemplate different institutional contexts, levels and types of education. They also work on publishing books and texts in specialized journals, as well as presenting papers at educational events, seeking to establish partnerships between professors, students, and former students and to encourage master`s students and graduates to publicize their work and continue their studies. The research of both groups is concerned with bringing together the various voices on the issues studied: the voice of the teacher, the coordinator, the school principal, among others, and debating them in the light of different theoretical frameworks. The research groups are composed mainly of professors from Uniara and professors and researchers with recognized competence in the field of education who were invited to join them.
