PABLO BROCOS MOSQUERA

Pablo Brocos Mosquera is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Faculty of Education Sciences and the Applied Didactics Department. He holds a Ph.D. in Education Sciences from the same university (2019), focusing on argumentation criteria related to sustainable and healthy food. His research is anchored in the RODA group (Reasoning, Discourse and Argumentation) under the Institute of Education Sciences (ICE). Brocos’ work spans science education, argumentation theory, and sustainable development, emphasizing epistemic reasoning and socio-scientific decision-making. He has published extensively on dietary debates, environmental impact of food choices, and inquiry-based learning strategies.

His research explores how students and pre-service teachers engage with complex issues like microplastics, vegetarianism, and climate-related dietary policies. Notable contributions include methodological frameworks for analyzing argumentation dynamics and integrating place-based education. Brocos collaborates internationally, evidenced by works with institutions like Bucknell University (USA), and his publications bridge cognitive psychology, ethics, and environmental science within educational contexts.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but his active research profile indicates sustained contributions to science education and argumentation studies. His advising role is noted through directing doctoral theses, though specific student names are not listed here. Brocos’ work often intersects with broader societal challenges, reflecting a commitment to science literacy and responsible citizenship.
