La investigación es una de las actividades más gratificantes que existen para todas aquellas personas que se dedican a la educación en sus diferentes niveles, primero porque es un reto intelectual para el académico que decide enfrentarse a los procesos epistemológicos y metodológicos, lo cual no es fácil porque implica una solida formación en las formas de pensamiento que la humanidad ha desarrollado y en segundo lugar porque el investigador se encuentra en la disyuntiva de asumir una postura ante la realidad que se le presenta y tratar de explicarla para mejorarla. El presente libro se compone de una serie de ensayos de profesores-investigadores que nos cuentan sus experiencias de cómo desde la Universidad del Valle de México, Región Estado de México y Morelos, abordaron el difícil camino de hacer investigación y despertar la curiosidad científica en sus alumnos.

Traditional teaching methods often struggle to meet the diverse and dynamic needs of both educators and students. The persistent challenge of retaining knowledge, exacerbated by the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, continues to hinder effective teaching. Moreover, the burden of mental fatigue resulting from long, uninspiring lectures and information overload plagues the learning experience. As educators grapple with these issues, the need for a more efficient and engaging pedagogical approach becomes increasingly urgent. Optimizing Education Through Micro-Lessons: Engaging and Adaptive Learning Strategies is a groundbreaking compendium of insights from eighteen distinguished authors. This meticulously curated volume provides a transformative solution to the problems plaguing contemporary education. Micro-lessons, concise learning units spanning just 1 to 10 minutes, and accessible across multiple devices, hold the key to unlocking superior learning outcomes and bolstering retention rates. In this book, academic scholars, educators, and policymakers will find a comprehensive guide that not only explores the theory behind micro-lessons but also offers practical strategies for their effective implementation.

Modern science communication has emerged in the twentieth century as a field of study, a body of practice and a profession—and it is a practice with deep historical roots. We have seen the birth of interactive science centres, the first university actions in teaching and conducting research, and a sharp growth in employment of science communicators. This collection charts the emergence of modern science communication across the world. This is the first volume to map investment around the globe in science centres, university courses and research, publications and conferences as well as tell the national stories of science communication. How did it all begin? How has development varied from one country to another? What motivated governments, institutions and people to see science communication as an answer to questions of the social place of science? Communicating Science describes the pathways followed by 39 different countries. All continents and many cultures are represented. For some countries, this is the first time that their science communication story has been told.
