The processes of obtaining a degree in educational intervention according to its actors

Abstract

For this investigation, the testimonies of actors involved in the graduation process of the National Pedagogical University (UPN) 144 Ciudad Guzmán are considered; such as active and graduating students, directors and readers of reception documents; which are part of the degree in educational intervention (LIE). The objective of the study is to identify their perceptions and experiences regarding the degree process. The LIE began its operations in 2002 and to date there is no investigation analyzing its titling processes. The contributions in terms of regulations of the UPN are highlighted; Additionally, in the preparation of the reception document, from the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Tecnológico de Monterrey. In the background of the study, authors who highlight the characteristics and situations related to titling processes are included; in the personal and institutional spheres. The interpretive paradigm was implemented, with a mixed approach and the phenomenological method; to reliably make known the trends related to the results of the surveys and interviews, and, above all, give a voice to the different actors involved. Among the findings, they highlight that graduated students project a better perception than active students about the support of advisors, the Degree Commission and the institution in general. The directors and readers mention that they have had rewarding experiences in the process, but raise the need to promote training courses to optimize their work.
