MONTES-ITURRIZAGA, Iván  and  ARIAS GALLEGOS, Walter Lizandro. Teaching Research in Educational Schools and Pedagogical Training Institutes in Peru. Propós. represent. [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.2, e1406.  Epub Aug 31, 2022. ISSN 2307-7999.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20511/pyr2022.v10n2.1406.

This qualitative study (documentary and empirical) focuses on the teaching of educational research in institutions that train basic education teachers or professors in Peru. Specifically, and within the framework of research methodology courses (CMI), the following were studied: syllabi (programs); teachers' professional profiles (resumes); and the manuals or texts used. Likewise, educational research journals were analyzed and, in a complementary manner, interviews were conducted with teachers of these subjects. The results reveal the existence of positivist prejudices (which prevent the incorporation of qualitative methods and techniques), teaching guided by manuals that transmit a stereotyped and incomplete idea regarding research, and the limited experience of CMI teachers in research deployments in the field of educational sciences. In this context, the interviews revealed a high interest in research and publication of articles in scientific journals on the part of CMI teachers who did not have sufficient experience. In any case, it is likely that the difficulties (not present in two highly prestigious associative universities) refer us to more structural factors associated with a poor understanding of what formative research really implies and the development of an adequate scientific culture in the centers that train basic education teachers.

Keywords : Formative research; Student research; Research teaching; Faculties of education.
