neutral  Rene Ron: I don't want to give you a disagree, but I believe that 'teaching practices' is the teaching methodology, not the actual teaching session that a new teacher conducts in order to practice.

prácticas de docencia y investigación
teaching practice sessions and research


Explanation:

By the way, Timothy: I must say this: 'disposa de' is not Spanish. It should be 'dispone de'. 'Docencia' doesn't carry an accent mark. I just want to know if the source you got is like that.

prácticas de docéncia y investigación
teaching and research practicums (or internships)


Explanation:
que posibilita que los estudiantes hagan prácticas de docéncia y de investigación = that enables students to perform teaching and research practicums (or internships)

And of course these are not "practices" that are used; rather they are practicums (or internships) that are "performed".

En cuanto al plural correcto, se encuentra indistintamente "practica" y "practicums"; muchas veces en el mismo texto: http://tinyurl.com/453lf
