Research competences: initial training of young researchers in upper secondary education

Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper argues that the research competences that are taught in secondary schools in the framework of the articulation program between upper secondary education and higher education held by FESAD-UPTC, allow an elementary immersion in the scientific field, through workshops and research-type activities as a way to initiate young future researchers. This is a mixed research study, drawing upon action research, which contributes to the role played by the teacher as a researcher of his/her own pedagogical activity. With the aim of training young researchers who are prepared for the scientific culture since upper secondary education, a conceptual exploration of research related topics is established, then the pedagogical experience is presented, where research competences are bundled together and strengthen the learning process (know-know and know-how) of middle school students. The paper relies on the premise that the goal is not for students of upper secondary education to become research specialists, but rather that they acquire a certain amount of knowledge as part of a comprehensive and integrating education.
