Estudio exploratorio de la producción investigativa del programa pedagogía infantil de la Universidad de Pamplona, periodo 2014-2018, relacionada con el desarrollo de las habilidades comunicativas de los niños de educación preescolar y básica primaria.

Abstract

In the research field, having an overview and approximate to a certain reality is only possible through exploratory research. This type of research is an option of investigative work when the interests revolve around the ignorance of a state of affairs, when a topic has been little explored, when new phenomena appear whose novelty does not yet admit a systematic description and when Researcher resources are insufficient to undertake a deeper work on something in particular. This last argument has given rise to the present investigation, insofar as it is intended to obtain, within the framework of the self-evaluation process of the Children's Pedagogy program, a first input to assess the research production of the academic program in mention, taking into account that exploratory studies serve to obtain information that leads to the possibility of carrying out more extensive and in-depth research on a particular issue, which for this context is specifically related to the development of research produced in the program associated with the development of the communication skills of children in pre-school and primary education. Under a methodology inscribed in the paradigm of qualitative research, it was attempted through the literature review to examine the research production of the Children's Pedagogy program. Children of the University of Pamplona, Pamplona and Cúcuta headquarters, related to the development of the communication skills of preschool and primary school children, in order to identify the communication skills that constitute the center of interest of the research consulted in the program; know the theoretical and methodological tendencies privileged in the investigations developed in the program and classify the tangible products of the investigations, which can be used as support material in the applied field, that is, in the development of the pedagogical practices of the teachers in formation. In this way, it is possible to obtain real information about some characteristics of the research production, but also about the formative research processes that are carried out in the program, which are evidenced in the research work of the students.
