Los retos de la co-generación en la búsqueda del impacto social de la universidad: un caso de construcción de un espacio dialógico a través de la investigación acción
Challenges for co-generation in the search for social impact of the university: a case of the construction of a dialogic space through action research
Abstract
Al centro del debate sobre el impacto social de la universidad se encuentra una nueva división del trabajo en la producción de conocimiento que pueda responder a los retos de la sociedad. Esta nueva división del trabajo es más compleja y advierte un giro epistemológico en la forma de organizar la interacción entre conocimiento académico y sociedad. Este artículo plantea cuatro retos identificados a partir de un caso de construcción de un espacio dialógico para la co-generación de conocimiento. El caso, desarrollado a través de la investigación acción, cuestiona el esquema que empaqueta el conocimiento generado en la universidad en forma de artículos, libros, informes o conferencias y que lo comunica de forma lineal y plantea otro basado en el diálogo que permite a los otros actores aportar su propio conocimiento.
Palabras clave: universidad, impacto social, investigación acción, comunicación.
Abstract
At the center of the debate about the social impact of the university we find a new division of work in the production of knowledge that can respond to the challenges of society. This new division of work is more complex and signals an epistemological turn in the form of organizing interaction between academic knowledge and society. This article poses four challenges that were identified based on a case of the construction of a dialogic space for the co-generation of knowledge. The case, which was developed through action research, questions the scheme in which knowledge generated in a university is packaged in the form of articles, books, reports, or conferences and communicated linearly, and suggests another that is based on dialogue and that allows other actors to contribute their knowledge as well.
Key words: university, social impact, action research, communication.
