You cannot be a good teacher at University level if you are not at the same time a researcher. Teaching is about communicating not only concepts and methods but novelty. I could not imagine a separation between teaching and research in my career. Finding time to write is the most difficult challenge. It is a permanent struggle. I am happy that I do not have to add administrative tasks to this. I did it in my forties and it was a good decision. Now that I am senior, I can really concentrate and writing and students. It gives me a wonderful feeling of freedom.

A fine balance between research and teaching is very important for educators, enhancing both professional growth and academic quality. Strategic time management and integrating research into teaching can help overcome the challenge of limited time.

En mi experiencia la actividad docente y la investigación no se contraponen. Al contrario, se armonizan. He desarrollado una forma de trabajo que establece núcleos concordantes que se retroalimentan entre sí. Elementos de la actividad docente contribuyen con la investigación y ésta enriquece la docencia. Esta dinámica se ha nutrido, además, con el intercambio permanente con profesionales de otras disciplinas, quienes aportan perspectivas que contribuyen con mi actividad académica. El intercambio contribuye a encontrar elementos tanto para la docencia como para la investigación que, algunas veces, no conseguimos en nuestro quehacer en solitario.

Acho bastante difícil equilibrar as métricas de publica??o exigidas especialmente nas públicas, com as aulas de gradua??o e pós, além das demais fun??es. Acredito as universidades brasileiras pudessem se espelhar nos modelos americanos, que fazem as contrata??es direcionadas para atendimento prático, pesquisa ou gest?o. Isso tornaria o trabalho docente mais eficiente.

Balancing research and teaching can be a daunting task. Disharmony between the two can be stressful. It's crucial to have an elaborate plan, well structured approach, or a thoughtful schedule to prevent burnout, which can sap your energy and make you feel demotivated. Make a list of tasks and prioritise them on the basis of importance and urgency. Use time management skills. Ensure research and teaching tasks don't overlap. Allocate time blocks for both. You can use digital tools and apps to minimise workload. By assigning less critical or repetitive teaching tasks to your colleagues you can save chunks of time for research.
