R&D&I Department

Research, Development, and Innovation Department

Since its inception, Habilmind has grown not only in its presence within educational centres in Spain and Latin America but also internally. One of the milestones of this growth has been the establishment of our own Research, Development, and Innovation (R&D&I) Department, where we create new assessments, adapt existing ones, and update our test battery.

How does the R&D&I team work?

01

We work

With R Studio, a stable, reliable, and cutting-edge statistical tool.

02

Analysis

Using Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) for in-depth evaluation.

03

Advanced system

For publishing technical manuals using Bookdown, ensuring continuous updates.

What does the R&D&I department do?



The R&D team carries out the following functions:


Needs detection

Reviewing the latest scientific literature, participating in conferences, and maintaining direct contact with educational centres to stay up to date with real needs.

Development of instruments

Designing and creating new assessment tools in collaboration with experts from each field, from theoretical formulation and item design to the validation process.

Digitisation of Tests

Implementing originally paper-based tests onto the platform, integrating our technology and expertise.

Updating and Reviewing

Our instruments are constantly evolving: we periodically review and adjust scales when deemed necessary.

Collaboration with universities

Strongly connected to the academic field, we collaborate with various research teams with the shared goal of improving education.

DEEPENING INTO THE DEPARTMENT


The presence of an R&D&I department in an educational company brings several significant advantages. First, it allows us to be in constant search of new solutions and pedagogical approaches.



Dynamism and Innovation

Incorporating new assessments and collaborating on research projects with universities.

Cutting-Edge Work Methodology

Focused on statistical analysis and the development of manuals.

Would you like to collaborate with us?

We are constantly adding new assessments to our platform. These require an internal process of psychometric validation and norm creation, for which we need sample data.  If you work in an educational centre and would like to use one of these assessments free of charge as part of this process, feel free to contact us.

What benefits does a collaborating school receive?


To participate, it is necessary to evaluate entire groups.


Free of charge

Collaborating schools will have the opportunity to use expert-designed assessments at no cost.

Technical manual

The school will be cited in the technical manual of the assessment.

Unlimited use

They may use the instrument in as many groups as they wish during the agreed-upon period.

Access to results

They will have access to the obtained results for a minimum period of 5 years.

Updated results

Once the norms are revised, previously obtained results will be reprocessed at no cost.
