Abstract

Escribir un texto acad�mico en el marco de establecimientos de educaci�n superior e investigaci�n responde generalmente a dos inquietudes: a la motivaci�n inmediata de publicarlo y, en la medida de lo posible, ser acreedor del reconocimiento de los respectivos pares acad�micos, o bien, cumplir con un requisito de formaci�n como lo es el presentar una tesis y obtener un t�tulo o un grado universitario ampliamente reconocido por la comunidad de acad�micos y por la sociedad. En ambos casos, el valor epist�mico y cognitivo del contenido del texto var�a en funci�n de los referentes a partir de los cuales fue concebido su objeto de estudio, y sobre los cuales descansa el dise�o, la estructura y la organizaci�n de su escritura. En este art�culo se aborda la problem�tica epistemol�gica que acompa�a a la elaboraci�n de la tesis doctoral en ciencias sociales y se propone una estrategia metodol�gica para ser aplicada a una investigaci�n en proceso, donde el objetivo es analizar la contribuci�n de las tesis doctorales al desarrollo del campo de la investigaci�n social y educativa. Writing an academic text within institutions of higher education and research generally responds to two concerns. First, the immediate motivation to publish and possibly been recognized by their respective academic peers. Second, satisfying a training requirement (submission to obtain a title or a college degree) widely recognized by the academic community and by society. In both cases, the epistemic and cognitive value of the text content varies in function on the referring ones from which its object of study were conceived, and on which it rests the design, the structure and the organization of its writing. This paper deals with the epistemological problems that goes with the development of the doctoral dissertation in social sciences, and proposes a methodological strategy to be applied to an ongoing research, whose objective is to examine the contribution of doctoral dissertation to the development of the field of social and educational research.
