Emergence of Qualitative Research in Colombian Psychology: A Beginning that Still Does not End
(2006) Jorge Larreamendy-Joerns; Juanita Henao; Alexandra Arango
This article deals with the processes of emergence and evolution of qualitative research in psychology in Colombia. Two major arguments are advanced. First, these processes can only be fully understood in the light of the history of psychology in Colombia, and, at the same time, within the context of emergence and consolidation of the social sciences in Colombia. Second, the evolution of qualitative research in North American psychology coincides in some aspects with its corresponding path in Colombian psychology, even though the former exhibits some distinctive features. This article begins with a synthesis of some attempts to divide into historical periods the evolution of qualitative research in the United States. Then, it offers a historical view of psychology in Colombia. Finally, the article proposes three major historical periods to account for the emergence and evolution of qualitative research in our discipline. As a conclusion, the process of development of qualitative research in Colombia is compared to that in the United States and research challenges are proposed for Colombian scholars to address in the years to come.

Going the Distance With Online Education
(SAGE Publishing, 2006) Jorge Larreamendy-Joerns; Gaea Leinhardt
This article charts the promissory notes and concerns related to college-level online education as reflected in the educational literature. It is argued that, to appreciate the potential and limitations of online education, we need to trace the issues that bind online education with distance education. The article reviews the history of distance education through the lenses of three historical themes—democratization, liberal education, and educational quality—and charts the current scene of online education in terms of three educational visions that may inform the development of online initiatives: the presentational view, the performance-tutoring view, and the epistemic-engagement view. The article emphasizes the potential contributions of online education to democratization and the advancement of the scholarship of teaching.
Proceso, coherencia, cotidianidad y qualia como desafíos explicativos para la psicología
(Universidad Icesi, 2010) Jorge Larreamendy-Joerns
En este artículo se someten a discusión cuatro desafíos explicativos de la psicología a nivel teórico: primero, la necesidad de avanzar hacia explicaciones históricas y de proceso; segundo, la necesidad de observar estándares más estrictos de coherencia explicativa; tercero, la urgencia de abordar fenómenos en el ámbito de la cotidianidad; y cuarto, la necesidad de dar cuenta de fenómenos en el orden de la qualia y la experiencia. En primer término se exploran las dificultades para identificar desafíos alrededor de los cuales pueda converger la psicología en su conjunto. Posteriormente, se examinan logros consolidados en la disciplina psicológica como una manera de aproximarse a la identificación de retos teóricos de relevancia general. Finalmente, se dedica una sección a cada uno de los desafíos teóricos anteriormente mencionados. El artículo concluye con un aparte de consideraciones finales.
