Representaciones Sociales sobre Ética de la investigación en docentes investigadores de la Universidad Santo Tomás Multicampus

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is to understand the social representations that have been built in the research professors of the Santo Tomás Multicampus University on research ethics. To this end, a qualitative methodology was implemented based on the interpretive paradigm, which seeks to give us an approximation to the phenomenon under study, using a reflexive ethnographic methodology. Six teachers belonging to the Universidad Santo Tomás Multicampus participated in the study, where, based on an interview and focus groups in approximately three sessions, a conversation, discussion, debate and other reflections were carried out about the research ethics, as well as an additional session for the socialization of the findings. The results correspond to a series of interactions between the investigative agents with the trajectory in addition to the relevant knowledge about the ethics of research and the respective theoretical references that were addressed, where it was possible to appreciate how the representations are a fabric that assumes otherness, responsibility, scientific integrity, among other categories that took place in the investigation.
