This edition discusses the importance of integrating teaching, research, and extension in higher education, focusing on research as an essential component of academic formation. While teaching is the primary motivation for students entering undergraduate programs, extension has gained prominence following CNE/CES Resolution No. 7 of 2018, which mandates that 10% of the course workload be allocated to extension activities. Research, however, is often confined to the Final Course Assignment (TCC), a practice considered the main form of Scientific Initiation in undergraduate programs. This process, although limited in duration and scope, is fundamental for the development of students' critical and academic skills, preparing them for advanced studies. The special edition of Revista Mythos reflects these efforts, presenting works developed within the context of undergraduate programs in the health field. The selected articles cover a variety of topics, always with a focus on understanding human behaviors and their impact on health and quality of life. This volume aims to encourage the appreciation of research in students' education and in the development of the communities in which they are embedded, promoting knowledge production as a tool for social transformation.
