The Consolidation of Fields of Knowledge in Education Science during the period 2002-2010

A Reading through the Journal Science, Teaching and Technology

Abstract

This article investigates the consolidation of certain fields of knowledge in Educational Science is investigated through the study of the publications that researchers produced in the first academic journal of the National University of Entre Ríos: Ciencia, Docencia y Tecnología. It interrogates its attributes to describe the journal as an intellectual and socialiser local medium. It questions the centrality of this medium in the regulation of the forms of production and circulation of knowledge in the career of educational science. 

This device was founded on the demands and requirements imposed on academic centers in the 1990s. This is where CDT, published by the UNER, was born, in which researchers of this university published in its early years. 

This study focuses on three analytical variables: politics, intellectuals, and education.  Emphasis is placed on the category of intellectuals because it opens up the analysis of the educational press as a network of exchange and socialization of knowledge.

The period under investigation spans from 2002 to 2010, as part of the efforts led by the ‘decanato’, specifically by María Laura Méndez. 

The interest is focused on the researchers of one of its degree courses: the teaching and bachelor’s degree in Educational Sciences, questioning how the knowledge derived from the research they carry out circulates, often consolidating important fields of knowledge, which transcend the local scale and manage to position themselves at a national level.  

Finally, it underlines the interest in education training, investigating what they research and what they publish, and thus tracing the fields of knowledge that are being consolidated in this environment.
