Research, Development and Innovation Department

Since its inception, Habilmind has not only grown in its position in educational centres in Spain and Latin America, but also from within. One culmination of this growth has been the formation of our own Department of Innovation, Development and Research (R&D&I), from where we develop new tests, adapt existing ones and update our battery of tests.

How does the R&D&I team work?

01

We work

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

02

Analysis

Through classical theory (CT), and analysis using item response theory (IRT).

03

Advanced system

Publication of technical manuals through the use of Bookdown, which allows for permanent updating.

What does the R&D department do?


The R&D team carries out the following functions:



Needs detection

Review of the most recent scientific literature, participation in conferences and contact with educational centers to keep up to date with real needs.

Development of instruments

Design and development of new assessment instruments in collaboration with experts in each field, from the theoretical approach and item design to the validation process.

Digitization of evidence

Implementation on the test platform originally designed on paper, providing all our technology and experience.

Update and review

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

Collaboration with universities

Closely linked to the academic field, we cooperate with various research teams with the common goal of educational improvement.

DEEPEN INTO THE DEPARTMENT


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


Dynamism and Innovation

Incorporating new evidence and collaborating on research projects with universities.

Cutting-edge working methodology

Focused on statistical analysis and preparation of manuals.

Do you want to collaborate with us?

We are constantly adding new tests to our platform. These require an internal process of psychometric validation of the instrument and creation of scales, for which we require a sample. If you work in an educational center and would like to use any of these tests free of charge to participate in this process, please contact us.

What benefits does the collaborating center have?


To participate, it is necessary to evaluate entire groups.


Free of charge

Collaborating centres will have the possibility of using tests carried out by experts free of charge.

Manual técnico

They will be cited in the technical manual of the test.

Unlimited use

They will be able to use the instrument in all the groups they wish during the period that has been previously defined.

Access to results

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

Results Update

Once the scales are updated, the results obtained in the applications will be reprocessed at no cost.
