----- Using a combination of personal and professional skills to approaching science with a holistic view is a cornerstone interest. Consequently, my teaching philosophy is to use knowledge management to innovate in education in the areas of problem-based learning, flipped classroom, imaginative learning, research-based learning, learning outside the classroom, design and validation of learning measuring instruments, etc. to build a networking system based on teams. Therefore, a network of collaborations for interdisciplinary subjects, organizational theory, and continuing and active education are key elements to make a synergy effect to develop competences on people for obtaining better results, but more important for pursuing disruptive innovations.
