This pilot initiative<\/strong> is aimed at strengthening the scientific culture<\/strong> in the country’s educational centers.\n\nDuring the activity, the authorities also highlighted the development of installed capacities at the Salesian Polytechnic Padre Bartolom\u00e9 Vegh (IPSPBV),<\/strong> of the Educational Regional 15 and the Fabio Amable Mota Technological Institute (ITFAM)<\/strong>, of Regional 10, to promote school research processes in a more systematic way.\n\nLikewise, students showcased, at the facilities of the IPSPBV<\/strong>, the progress of eight ongoing research projects<\/strong>; after six months of implementing the program in coordination with the Directorate of Technical-Professional Education of Minerd.\n\nIn that sense, Dr. Jes\u00fas And\u00fajar Avil\u00e9s<\/strong>, executive director of Ideice, highlighted that the students, during this process, achieved the identification of problematic situations<\/strong> in their environment, the formulation of research questions<\/strong>, the delimitation of study topics<\/strong> and advances in the construction of pre-projects with a solid methodological structure.<\/strong>\n\nHe emphasized that the concrete advances in his research proposals reflect a first exercise of critical observation of the environment <\/strong>and understanding of research<\/strong> as a tool<\/strong> for the analysis of real situations<\/strong> and to propose solutions<\/strong> based on evidence.\n\n\n
