Perspectivas epistemológicas de los programas de pregrado de ciencia política en la región surcolombiana desde una mirada crítica

Abstract

The project presents the findings of a research study aimed at analyzing the epistemological configuration in undergraduate Political Science programs in the South Colombian region, through a systematic literature review of said programs, to provide elements for reflection within the framework of contextual relevance. A qualitative methodology was employed, integrating interpretive and critical approaches, and was developed in several phases. Initially, documents were requested and collected from each of the undergraduate programs. Subsequently, Specialized Analytical Summaries (SAS) were elaborated, followed by the construction of a data extraction matrix, which served as the basis for building analytical representations or semantic networks. The information gathered revealed that undergraduate Political Science programs in the South Colombian region possess the capacity to transform the territory into a source of questions, categories, problems, and formative practices. In this regard, interdisciplinarity emerges as a fundamental condition for understanding the political and social complexity of the region, while emerging epistemologies demonstrate that these programs function as a productive space for political, pedagogical, and investigative knowledge, oriented toward critical thinking and social transformation.
