Sumario:This essay aims to systematize the characteristics of the process developed between 2017 - 2023 to build political advocacy towards a reform in Costa Rican technical vocational education and training (TVET), in the framework of the projects called: Link between education and the labor market: under what conditions can technical vocational education and training improve the economic income of the young population? and Thematic Observatory of Technical Vocational Education and Training (OBEFOTEP), from collaborative action research, as a conceptual and methodological approach. In this specific case, collaborative action research has been used as a strategy for accompanying the personnel responsible for making decisions and carrying out curricular and political changes in TVET in Costa Rica, as a mechanism for joint construction, critical comprehensive reflection and continuous improvement based on research evidence. It is based on the experience shared with the Department of Technical Education and Entrepreneurial Skills of the Ministry of Public Education (DETCE - MEP) and the curriculum design and evaluation teams of the National Learning Institute (INA) to carry out actions aimed at curricular transformation and the creation of synergies for joint work under the framework of the National System of Technical Vocational Education and Training (SINEFOTEP). Collaborative action research not only allows the appropriation of research processes by all participating social actors, but also the possibility of generating research evidence that allows for feedback and key information regarding the reforms, since the greatest contribution of this strategy is the trust and credibility shared in the process, which is fundamental for decision making.
