Digital Education Research (DER) as a theoretical/empirical bridge between research and training

The article intends to propose an epistemological and methodological approach, called Digital Education Research (DER), which considers the “digital world” as the complexification of reality, suggesting inedited observation and assessment modality as part of educational research and teaching.
