La escritura académica como proceso epistémico en la enseñanza del derecho penal

Abstract

Overcoming pedagogical concepts based on behavioral models and implementing other methodological styles can lead to natural critical learning. This is an environment conducive to generating new ways of building knowledge, by considering the participants in educational action as subjects of pedagogical interaction. Academic writing and literacy can be identified in this context as epistemological processes for the construction and transformation of knowledge on criminal law. This is because it confronts the need to acknowledge writing as a process that is constructed permanently by academic communities and not by isolated individuals. This process is characterized as being one that makes it possible to build new, thoughtful and analytical knowledge on teaching/learning. It should be recognized as an element in the educational process and as part of thinking on educational action, so as to transform the way criminal law is taught.
