Abstract

This research work studies the evolution of the educational phenomenon in Mexico with the purpose of finding paths for development. During the first part of the 20th century, education was established fundamentally to train the younger generations, giving them tools to exercise liberal professions such as accounting, civil engineering, and medicine, among others. The problem is that the education sector, since those early years, did not make any effort to train researchers. It was not until the 70's when the educational reform showed impulse in education, but only in the teaching part; it forgot about the preparation of researchers to meet the world's progress in technology and innovation. At the end of this text, it is proposed to modify the study programs, from elementary school to bachelor's degree, to integrate research to promote the progress of Mexican society. Based on the works of Benjamin Bloom and Jean Piaget, a taxonomic proposal is formulated that highlights the cognitive functions that should be developed among students at all levels of institutionalized education to train researchers who are vocationally oriented to this activity.
