Concepción Naval Durán

Concepción Naval Durán serves as Professor in the Department of Education at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Navarra, where she maintains active research and teaching responsibilities.

Her academic foundation includes a Doctorate from the University of Navarra (1989) focused on Aristotelian educational philosophy, specifically examining the educational virtuality of Aristotelian rhetoric and poetics. This scholarly background anchors her interdisciplinary approach to modern pedagogical challenges.

Research centers on Education, Citizenship Education, and Character Education, with specialized expertise in Classical Education frameworks. As core member of the GIECC (Educación, Ciudadanía y Carácter) research group, she investigates how Aristotelian concepts inform contemporary character development and civic engagement in educational settings. Her work bridges ancient philosophical traditions with 21st-century pedagogical applications, particularly through the lens of rhetorical and poetic theory.

Professional contributions extend through sustained collaboration with the GIECC research group, which systematically explores the integration of citizenship values and moral character formation within educational curricula. While specific grant details remain undocumented in available sources, her institutional affiliation demonstrates continuous engagement with the university's research ecosystem.
