Percepciones de la academia: Docentes-investigadores del campo de las ciencias sociales y sus experiencias en eventos académicos

Abstract

This research project aims to study the perceptions of scholars about their expectations and experiences about academic events in which they have participated in Ecuador or internationally. The goal is to gather, organize and interpret the data provided. Thus the processed information will develop critical recommendations to improve the design and development of academic events. The research design is qualitative, exploratory and interpretative, with an exploratory-descriptive cross-sectional study, where semi-structured interviews were used. Participants of this study are 14 scholars from public and private universities in the city of Guayaquil; who fit into the criteria selected for this document to be part of the sample. Production and sharing of new scientific knowledge, learning through feedback exercise, knowing the issues that are handled in the environment and comply with regulations established by law are some of the factors that motivate scholars to participate in academic events.
