Construcción de un trabajo de grado desde la experiencia autoetnográfica

Abstract

This project explores the experiences of two students of the Santo Tomás University during the construction of their degree work, for this purpose they use the qualitative research method called Autoethnography, under the socio-constructionist paradigm, which allows researchers to analyze their experiences taking into account the cultural context in which they are immersed. Following this line of thinking, the experiences of the authors of this degree work, as participants and research population, are described. The newspaper is used as an instrument for data collection and as a technique for evocation and narration, where writing becomes a method to produce and analyze data. In this order of ideas, the basis of the analysis of the data is qualitative, for this a categorical analysis is used, the categories are constructed and validated in three stages (descriptive. Relational and selective), where the unit of analysis responds to the meaning that the researchers attribute to socially constructed emotions. The results of the research validate the use of autoenography as a method in the production of new knowledge by allowing the researcher's introspection about his professional practice, a situation that is achieved thanks to the synchronization of narrative sequences that from the legitimate socio-constructionist vision meanings attributed to the emotions generated in the evocation and reconstruction of the lived experience.
