Case analysis for the training of student-researchers at the business school of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico; January-June 2024 semester.

Abstract

The general objective of the project (case analysis) is to promote the formation of student-researchers, at the higher education level, through the detection and attention of complex situations; as well as the realization of ludic activities, with orientation in the reproduction of contents and formative intentions (acquisition of skills), regarding the subject "University and Knowledge", in a glocal environment, humanistic and democratic right. The author supported the methodological strategy mainly on case analysis, using the mixed research approach, with descriptive scope. Qualitatively, the author applied forty-six 46 interviews, reviewing academic and normative documents (literature review); quantitatively, the research yielded relevant percentage data resulting from the application of forty-six 46 surveys to an equal number of students (men and women). Of the main findings obtained, 64.4% of the students interviewed said they knew what the functions or roles of a researcher are; however, 35.6% expressed that they did not know. Likewise, 93.5% of the students believe that before initiating the study of research methods it is necessary to know what the researcher's task consists of, assuming the challenge of "becoming" at least part-time student-researchers. In the concluding part, it is noted that the role of the researchers goes through a formative process, based on values and attitudes. That the national legal framework should provide us with citizen interaction within a State of Law committed to the University, to knowledge and to its social function.
