Abstract
En la actualidad, existe una reacción contra un proceso de acumulación de conocimientos que responde a modelos de investigación que han legitimado estructuras de poder que, a su vez, han perpetuado conflictos no resueltos, en particular en nuestra sociedad latinoamericana. En este trabajo, proponemos una alternativa de investigación enmarcada en una visión crítica y emancipadora, planteando una serie de elementos que permitan la emergencia de una forma distinta de asumir la relación teoría-práctica, considerando el conocer como un proceso signado por el diálogo entre iguales, por lo que la reflexión y la construcción del conocimiento se consolidan como un hecho social, dentro del ámbito de un quehacer educativo profundamente humano. Esta forma de concebir la investigación conduce a la formación de valores democráticos y, por tanto, de una nueva concepción de ciudadanía. En esta propuesta, el investigador es un ser social e histórico, comprometido con una aspiración ética y política. Consideramos que la puesta en práctica de un modelo de investigación-acción participativa y transformadora, del que la crítica y la reflexión sean partes esenciales, puede ayudar en los necesarios procesos de cambio y emancipación, aspiración legítima de una sociedad que lucha por ser protagonista de su propio destino.
At the present time, there is a reaction to a process of knowledge accumulation that responds to research models that have legitimized power structures which, at its turn, have perpetuated unsolved conflicts, in particular, in our latin american society. This paper proposes an alternative research framework placed in a critical and emancipator vision, setting up a series of elements which enable to emerge a different way to assume the relationship between theory and practice, considering knowledge as a process marked by dialogue between equals, so the thinking and knowledge construction becomes a social fact, within the scope of an educational work of profound humanity. This way of conceiving the researchleads to the formation of democratic values and, therefore, to anewconception of citizenship. In this proposal, the investigator is seen as a social and historical human been, committed with ethical and political aspirations. We believe that the implementation of a transforming and participative action-research model, where critics and reflexivity are essential parts of it, can support the necessary change and emancipation processes, a legit aspiration of a society struggling to be protagonist of his own destiny.
