Synopsis

Research is a substantive responsibility at UNAD, meaning it is a pillar for the construction of knowledge, for education in research competencies and for the promotion of a research culture. Agreement 024 of UNAD refers to research as "a systematic process of knowledge production, characterized by methodological rigor, teamwork, validation by the scientific community, creativity, innovation, ethical regulation, commitment to regional development, pedagogical exercise and curricular improvement for the emergence of scientific communities and the strengthening of academic cultures" (2012, Chapter 1, para. 2).

Thus, research as a constantly changing process implies the constant review of each component that sustains it in the institution. However, the research process in the School of Education Sciences (ECEDU) involves the dynamic collaborative work of centers, nodes, networks, groups, research groups and lines of research, which converge in the establishment of strategies and activities that seek to obtain academic productivity that ultimately contribute to the goals of the school.

At the institutional level, the research management system at the UNAD is consistent with science, technology and innovation benchmarks in Colombia, as well as with research promotion policies, the guidelines of the general system of royalties, the national competitiveness system, the guidelines of the Ministry of Education for quality assurance of academic programs, and in line with internal policies such as the Solidarity Academic Pedagogical Project 4.0, the institutional development plan, current regulations and the e-research model (García et al..., 2019, p.9). Research for the ECEDU school opens a horizon of possibilities for the construction of solutions, alternative proposals and initiatives that respond to problems specific to the national and international context. In accordance with the above, the intention is to initiate research processes that lead to profound transformations that implicitly involve the strengthening of groups, researchers and scholars who are part of the internal academic community and, of course, generate knowledge that transcends to the national and international level.
