Nursing, Universities, Qualitative Research, diffusion of innovationsAbstract
Background: This article presents a teaching innovation experience based on the inter-university co-supervision of Undergraduate Nursing Theses (TFG) between the University of Santiago de Compostela and the University of Vigo.
Objetcive: to explore new forms of teaching support, knowledge production, and student empowerment.
Methodology: Through the guidance of three undergraduate theses focused on qualitative methodologies and socio-critical approaches, the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities of the process (SWOT analysis) are examined.
Results: The findings show that the undergraduate thesis can become a transformative learning space when new epistemologies are embraced, horizontal supervision is promoted, and the exploration of socially relevant topics is legitimized.
Conclusion: It is concluded that this experience contributes to the development of a critical Nursing practice committed to social justice.
