Afiliación intelectual de los integrantes de la Escuela de Derecho. Universidad de Los Andes. Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Políticas
Abstract
This article shows the results of an investigation conducted within a group of
participants of the Introductory Course (Period A-2016) of the School of Law of the
Faculty of Juridical and Political Sciences of the Universidad de Los Andes (Merida,Venezuela). It was
proposed to explore and to analyze the process of intellectual
affiliation of freshmen in the matters of reading and writing their academic discourse,
and to demonstrate how they transit through to the academic world in order to
intellectually affiliate to the academic culture. The experience consisted in asking the
freshmen to write their reflections and to express their experiences as readers and
writers before entering the university, and during the development of the classes of
Literature and methodology of the study. This allowed - at the same time- to show and
to analyze the transit or passage in the times of alienation and learning, reflected by
the participants in their written reflections. It is concluded that this process of
intellectual affiliation must be guided by the teacher of each course; to allow in the
participants to intellectually join the academic culture.
