Sistematización de proyectos de grado en énfasis de periodismo 2005 (II) - 2006 (I) de la Facultad de la Facultad de Comunicación Social de la Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

Under the framework of Law 30 of 1992, where the subject of Higher Education in Colombia is legislated and addressed, the Santo Tomas University finds articles 1 and 4 of the same to be of great relevance, a good reference for the application of its academic and formative statutes for Tomasino students. The Institutional Educational Project (PEI), which according to the law is mandatory, is defined as a project that specifies the principles and goals, the pedagogical strategies and the academic management system that must be applied by higher education in Colombia. Currently in the educational field, the curriculum is understood as the concept that each university institution authorized by the State must carry out autonomously and that allows each one to freely develop its own institutional educational projects. The curriculum of the Santo Tomás University proposes and executes the way of teaching from the study of problems so that the teaching and learning process is intermediate as a feedback between teachers and students. The creation of the Faculty of Social Communication within the Santo Tomás University obeys some necessary demands in the communication processes for the year 1995. The university obtained the approval of the program before the ICFES using the division between practice and theory, linking research as an indispensable component of communication and its technologies, and developing a research model questioning violence as one of the country's great problems. In its curricular redesign, the faculty establishes the problematic nuclei as pillars for strengthening the curriculum required to achieve the quality standards of higher education in Colombia. The problematic nucleus must be understood as the option that any person or institution has to carry out functions with multiple interpretations in order to provide a solution and some requirement that society needs.
