Fran J. García García is a Dr. in Education, trained in the FPU 2017 program of the Ministry of Universities (success rate < 13%). His early work dealt with special and inclusive education. He focused on the learning difficulties of students with special needs. As a predoctoral fellow, he joined an RD project on meta-learning at the university, taking advantage of his previous experience and thus achieving the extraordinary Ph.D. award.
He stayed at Mexican universities and the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, with consolidated teams, with whom he continues to work and publish international studies. In Madrid, Nebrija University and the National University of Distance Education hired him after his Ph.D. Now he is linking these connections with those he keeps at the University of Valencia, where he studied initially and has signed his last contract as an Assistant Professor.
Thanks to the research applied to university teaching, he controls technical resources to offer quality education to students, which he has complemented with institutional management. Moreover, working in several public and private universities in Spain and abroad has allowed him to behold different procedures and broaden his teaching experience.
In the last six years (2017-22), he has produced 22 articles on learning difficulties and processes, 17 of which were accepted in journals indexed in JCR or SJR. He also actively participates in academic media to disseminate his work and is aware of the importance of Altmetrics in scientific impact. In ResearchGate, he already accumulates a Research Interest = 162.4, which is over 73% of the 20 million members of the network. His latest work provides educational technology to facilitate computer-supported collaborative learning and asynchronous online learning.
