What do Beethoven, Marie Curie and Picasso have in common, what is the relationship between the 9th Symphony, radium and Guernica? Given this premise, Mary Carmen Caballero, Spanish University Counselor of the International College Spain (ICS), addressed the relevance of monographic research in the 1st edition of the Monographs Fair hosted by the School from Education and Psychology of the University of Navarra.

Around 200 pupils and teachers from more than a dozen schools and institutes studied the monographs in depth at workshop , with the participation of Mary Carmen Caballero; and a total of eight teachers from the American School Bilbao and San Patricio schools in Madrid and Toledo; and the School of Education and Psychology at the University of Navarra, who gave workshops on the different subjects covered in the monographic research.

Ángel Sobrino, Associate Dean of research of the School of Education and Psychology reminded the students of the importance of developing a capacity of research and a critical mentality with a vision of the future to the university programs of study and of postgraduate program.

For her part, the ICS counsellor, Mary Carmen Caballero, highlighted the relevance of the monographs as an element core topic in "the training of people with an international mentality and a critical sense". Students should start with an initial question, she recalled, around which a research will be structured to provide them with a space for reflection and learning staff.

Teachers at the high school diploma International, for their part, "must learn to empathise and transmit the passion for the research to their students", said Caballero, whose mission statement corresponds to that of accompanying the student throughout the process before and after the research, as well as the teaching to "handle a huge amount of information with a critical sense that allows them to draw their own conclusions".

Caballero encouraged the students to write monographs as an opportunity to open up to their own reflection. "The passion for knowledge, the desire to break the boundaries of the established led geniuses such as Beethoven, Marie Curie and Picasso to make their genius tangible," Caballero recalled. "But before their project of research, a question arose in them core topic that conditioned their existence and that of all humanity. A question that could be a monograph".
