Estructuras y dinámicas de producción, consumo y apropiación de nuevo conocimiento en las maestrías de ingeniería en la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

Abstract

Master's programs as self-organized and complex systems arise from the interactions of teachers and students, whose main objective under the principle of education is aimed at the production of new knowledge. Due to the above, the results reported mainly as research theses during the training processes show the behavior and evolution of the programs. In this way, bibliometric studies can serve this purpose, and in particular this thesis aims to develop a methodological framework that allows to help understand the structures and dynamics that the engineering master's degrees of the District University have had in the last decade, which, as additional benefit, it allows the generation of inputs to design strategies that evaluate research routes and policies, increase the productivity of articles, improve impact indicators and decision-making or formulation of new works based on the advances and results of already published research. For this purpose, an analysis of the theses supported between the years 2010 and 2020 in the master's degrees of the engineering faculty of the UD was carried out, supported by impact bibliometric tools and scientific mapping, which allow us to glimpse the evolution of the aforementioned dynamics. or structures. According to the results obtained, a methodological workflow is proposed to serve as a guide to carry out this type of study.
