La Configuración de una Comunidad de Investigadores Educativos en una Universidad Pública Mexicana: De la Individualidad a la Colaboración

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the configuration of a community of education researchers in a public Mexican university, the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP). The references to determine how this community was formed are the Mexican Council of Educational Research (COMIE), the National System of Researchers (SNI) and the Professional Higher Education Development Program (PRODEP - Academic Groups). The COMIE is a civil association that with its activities has revealed the main problems and solutions at all levels of the educational field. In the cases of SNI and PRODEP, they are government bodies that support and recognize the individual and group work of academic personnel. The records of the three sources of information (COMIE, PRODEP and SNI) allow declaring that this community of education researchers of the BUAP has had a meaningful growth.
