HOW TO MAKE SENCE OF
THE FUTURE
 INTRODUCTION
The Research’s base is developing from some didactics that are
programmed by teachers and civil servants from UGC. Which
principally have to get in charge to do the main process to get a
better education in the future, the idea of a real concept about
research is not a term exactly, because it aboard me mission and
vision focus on a new culture, which is based on technologic
elements that propitiate a better develop not only on an intellectual
level, but on a student’s emotional level; because it motivate him /
her to create and develop new perspectives from a known world and
where he / she lives. The student creates hypothesis to solve
troubles that aboard our actual reality.
Those processes are directed to city’s marginal sectors, because the
poorness is the internal factor most noticeable in the bad education
from today.
Academic processes have as a main resort the knowledge’s
communication and diffusion, through our worksites.
Keeping in mind all of before data, as a students and future

 WHAT’S RESEARCH
Research is to search about knowledge or solution to scientist and
cultural character’s troubles. Also we can say that research is like a
link between cultures.

A research is characterized to be a process:

Systematic: From a hypothesis formulation or work objective, just collecting

data according to a pre established plan, that once analyzed and
interpreted, those data will modify and add new knowledge to are already
exist, starting then a new investigation cycle. The systematic used on a
research is the same as scientist method.

Organized: whole member’s form a research team must know what they
have to do during the whole study, applying the same definitions and
yardstick to all participants and acting as the same form in presence of any
doubt.

Objective: The obtained conclusions from the study aren’t based on

According to:
subjective impressions, but are based on facts that had been observed and
 WHAT’S RESEARCH
DIFFERENT RESEARCH KINDS AMONG DISCIPLINES

There had been written different research’s kinds among

disciplines, like a specific terminology. The more
commonly definitions accepted are used to refer to
increase the interaction level among disciplines.
Multi – disciplinary: In this research level the proximity to
the object is realized from different angles, using different
discipline perspectives without reach to integration.

Inter – disciplinary: this research level refers to a

methodology, theory and conceptual identity’s creation,
so that results going to be more coherent and building in.

Trans – disciplinary: goes more than before and refers to

the process where happens the convergence among
disciplines, frequented by a disciplinary epistemology’s
 WHAT’S RESEARCH RESEARCH SYSTEM

To get some idea about this research’s complex world, and to get
dressed in mourning with security and clearness to this way. Is
necessary start to work in a steps’ series that like an institution open
the space needed to the investigation topic, but over those things,
they give the basements where the university’s academic programs’
research can be structured.
THE GRAN COLOMBIA UNIVERSITY’S EDUCATIVE PROJECT

üMan, world, history and known’s Christian vision.

üArmistice Integral formation from each one life’s personal project’s
discovering and realization.
üTrue, justice and responsible and honest behavior’s development’s
systematic search.
üPoor’s priority pledge with social justice.
üSolidarity’s pledge through research’s specific groups.
üPledge with education in its different versions, as a social service’s
improvement.
 WHAT’S RESEARCH
RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY’S E.I.P MARK

Gran Colombia University (U.G.C) will be deify to

Grancolombian nations’ professional culture. By reason of
universality, assist all cultural faces and human
formation, for that promote the formative and applied
research together with different knowledge areas that
carry the programs that we offer.

The research Importance is a constant that it’s expressing

lots in the essential scores that historically had been
characterized to U.G.C., could be said that in its University
conception, in its purpose and objectives, like also in the

“The Gran Colombia University as a Higher Education Institute,
will be established in the answer to professional formation and
improvement’s big challenges from now and the future ones,
without lose sight of new globalization and internationalization
knowledge’s stages, to cultural, social, ethical, and Christian’s
phenomenon. Such facts, compromise her with the society
looking for the true, the equality, the equity and respect for
people and non protected social classes, so like in the service’s

MISSION
“The Gran Colombia University is dedicated to professionals’
integral formation and to the improvement in different
knowledge areas to contribute to a more human and Christian
society’s building. Its job is engaged with the solution of
troubles that the country has, and with develops from neediest
sectors, promoting the common goodness and the ideological
and politics controversy”.
 WHAT’S RESEARCH
NORMATIVE MARK
To Impulse the Research at U.G.C development, is necessary take in mind,
among others, next referents: Institutional Educative Project; Science and
Technologies’ National Politics, Conpes 3080 documents; the specific
demands established to Researcher function at regulating acts to High
Education’s Programs’ Quality Registration and demands to voluntary
accrediting – 2566 Act -. Also, is important take in mind, the National Plan’s
Development’s politics and goals, as regards to High Education, thus like
Colombian population sector’s needs and potentialities over the Gran
RESEARCH FUNCTION
The pledge with the true search recognize at Research, the fundamental pillar
of students integral formation’s process and Institution Social Projection.
The University makes research without damage, opens to all known. That’s
the reason because it’s called UNIVERSITY, word that comes from Latin word
UNIVERSITAS. This is universality; ampleness without limits on true’s inquiry,
by a side, and by the other, unity, own known’s unity.
The research function ties the institution with the surrounding reality, one
that in the case of our University it demands to him, to overturns the

RESEARCH FUNCTION PURPOSE.
ØTo generate Research Culture that contributes to the reflective and critical
spirit’s development and to share in common in the students and teachers.

ØTo fortify the academic community with a view to causing interchanges in

the matter of knowledge and of diverse forms of thought, through the
permanent communication between students, teachers and their academic
pairs at local, national and international level.

ØTo tie the Research that is generated in the University with the
developments processes to the vulnerable communities in social and the
communitarian thing from the point of view of solidarity, the social fairness
and the search of the communal property.

ØTo keep a constant reflection about the problem of the knowledge, its
foundations, reaches and to cause the analysis of the new research’s
paradigms.

ØTo fortify competitions for the solution of diverse problems of technological

and social scientific character, with quality, rigor and relevance.

 HOW IS THE
RESEARCH’S CONCEPTUAL FRAME
From before referring highlights the program impaled by “Colciencias”
designed “knowledge innovation and built of society. A schedule for Colombia
on century XXI”, whose objective is the development in our country on
knowledge’s society. As a society with capacity for produce knowledge about
your reality and you environment and with capacity for use this knowledge
will be engine or development and get the social campus more dynamic than
is right now.
The research is a form of ask yourself for the reality; according to the trouble
expounded to find, validate and build knowledge through a search continua’s
attitude.
 
The research is the way for build knowledge specific or for the hypothesis’
application and origins from teachers, student and academic community.
 

According to:
 HOW IS THE
THE PURE OR BASIC RESEARCH
 
Have an interest cognoscitive and is to argument the knowledge, produce a
new know, push the knowledge limits, its objective is the phenomenal and
relations knowledge that intervene on different scientific disciplines, its
results or products are expressed in models, theories, origins, rules. Those
are in magazines.

THE APPLIED RESEARCH.

 
It’s centered in knowledge utilization (doctrines and origins) for the trouble’s
solutions of social and technical interest. This lets to take success and to
carry on goals finally, to realize the knowledge or to give material form to
determined resources to specific and functional endings. Its results are in a
new instruments or gadgets, new services, new procedures.
 
THE FORMATIVE RESEARCH
 
Its used like a strategy to promote the formation to research spirit from
students and teachers, with the objective to get into the production,
validation, objectivities, socialization, application’s forms about knowledge to
the different disciplines that looking at to development his autonomy to
 HOW IS THE
THE RESEARCH CULTURE AT (UGC)
 
Is a policy at the (UGC) to promote the harmonic and articulate development
to the educational, researched and social projection functions; to give
fulfillment, as much as the technologic component’s postulates from the
project educative like to the higher education’s objectives that are
established on law 30 from 1992.
 
To create the research Culture imply then, to train educational and the
students, based on its enter the academic community; that is to say, to the
set of people with the appropriate systematic formation of level superior that
knows the foundations, the limits and the spaces and with the capacity to
judge and to take part in the significant discussion of the discipline’s
problems, profession or occupation. (CNA, 1998)
 
To create a Research Culture is to create the culture of “we”, inasmuch as it
shares principles values, norms, knowledge, forms to act, methods,
techniques, objects, from an academic’s group.
 
Actually in research the proper values of the academic life are pronounced:
work in equipment, valuation of academic pairs, debates or ideas’
interchange, methodologies, techniques and findings and of the fulfillment of
 HOW IS THE
In synthesis, as the academic culture’s characteristic the
following are indicated:
 
- Promotion of the productive relations, by means of which the
knowledge shares, socializes the commitment with the search of the
same and its corresponding methodologies.
- Systematic reflection on the actions’ consequences, like primary
manifestation of the social’s responsibility sense and the commitment
with the community. From the personal action’s importance to
institutional objectives’ attainment.
- The shared in common, cooperative work between investigators;
between educational and researchers; between these and the
students and the same students, are key in the process of
construction of knowledge.
- It’s necessary that through the Research works it is acceded to
knowledge’s networks at national and international level. He is
desirable that the educational investigators tie inter-institutional and
 HOW IS THE
RELATIONS BETWEEN TEACHING AND RESEARCH
The Research is the spine of the knowledge advance, and the forms to apply
it to the society needs.
 
The Research is the source that makes possible that the conceptual
explanations have sense in our desire to understand the world in which we
lived and to be able to participate actively in the future wished construction.
 
The Research is the form to maintain us updated in front of the science and
the technology’s advances and to the changes that generally happen in the
planet.

Only through the Research in its diverse modalities, we will be able to

maintain a competitiveness level, quality, productivity and efficiency in our
task like citizens, home’s heads, professionals and EDUCATORS.
 
Through the Research we can innovate and create new products or services,
new forms to make the things and to face new more and more complex
 HOW IS THE
RESEARCH’S LINES
A line of research sometimes it’s build from a united of bound up with
projects whit any topics or whit of interest for a knowledge area. In
this form this line picker the experience of investigations, like a line of
research is a build that makes the investigators and this
envelopment in a space at time certain.
 
Other form to propose lines is makes to hypothesis, that they aren’t
results of found decencies in the projects of research but that
answered to enterprise in a philosophy in the intentions of
establishment.

In the (UGC) which united academic makes or take an

conceptualization about line for example, the faculty of science of
education put that the lines of research are united academic all those

us, all that through a step’s series in a systematic way.
Also we learn about what’s doing the UGC with its
