FULL-TIME students, during the first year, must participate in training seminars for a total amount of 40 hours.
PART-TIME students, during the first two years, must complete 40 hours, with a minimum of 20 hours per year.
Students will have to cover at least 60% of of these hours -24 hours- (except for those who reside abroad, who must cover 30% -12 hours-) with:
- Seminars and/or Conferences proposed in the Annual Training Plan of the Doctoral Programme with the participation of programme lecturers and invited lecturers, both national and international
- Seminars proposed by the ICE (Education Sciences Institute) of the Universidad de Sevilla (through AFOROS).
The training activities in which students must participate may be linked to their line of research:
- Seminar on Current Trends in Research on Institutional Analysis and Educational Innovation Processes
- Seminar on Current Trends in Research on Agents and Processes of Guidance, Training and Professional Development
- Seminar on Current Trends in Research on Information and Communication Technologies in Educational Settings
- Seminar on Current Trends in Research on Curriculum Design, Development and Evaluation in Educational Contexts
- Seminar on Current Trends in Educational Intervention and Evaluation Research
or related to Research Methodology and Management:
- Seminar on management of national and international databases in educational research
- Seminar on research designs in education
- Seminar on the design of quantitative research instruments: questionnaires, inventories and tests
- Seminar on the design of qualitative research instruments: interview, observation and focus groups, among others.
The student may cover the remaining 40% of the training hours with seminars, courses or conferences outside of the programme that may contribute to their training, with the authorisation of the dissertation advisor. For the student with residence abroad it will be 70%.
In addition to the above, students must participate in at least one national or international conference.
Students must also participate each year in the annual Doctoral Conferences (during the month of February), submitting the progress of the Research Plan.
CONTROL PROCEDURE for each of the training activities: Students will apply for enrolment in each of the seminars offered by the programme through the Annual Training Plan. A record of attendance at the seminars will be kept. This control will determine that the activities are included in the Doctoral Student Activity Document (DAD).
Students may participate in seminars and courses outside of the doctoral programme. In this case, the corresponding certificate of participation must be provided, as well as the programme of contents of the seminar and the approval of the advisor authorising it.
Students participating in conferences must submit a certificate of attendance. Students presenting projects at the conference must submit a certificate of conference presentation at the corresponding conference.
Students must participate in the annual Doctoral Conferences, presenting in person the progress of their research work. A record will be kept of the attendance control at the doctoral conferences. Participation in the annual Doctoral Conference may be counted as 6 hours of training activities.
