Dialectics as a philosophical approach to research training in Latin America

Abstract

Methodology in the training of scientific researchers has always been a complicated subject, awakening diverse academic concerns. The objective of this article is to recognize dialectics as a philosophical approach for the training of scientific researchers in Latin America. The aim is to obtain experiences, reflections on dialectical competences for the use of methodologies in research. Dialectics as a philosophical approach should be used from the undergraduate or graduate level, in the teacher-student binomial, in teaching and learning. The qualitative approach was used, privileging the deep -reflexive analysis of concepts that are part of studied contexts, from a critical- self-critical orientation, allowing approaches such as materialistic dialectics, phenomenology for the scientific method. The study was developed in consultation with new bibliography, doctoral theses, texts of different currents of philosophical and social thinking. It is concluded that, for the formation of scientific researchers, the use of philosophical approaches such as dialectics, phenomenology plus the experience assumed in reading is required, as a practice in writing in the formation of future researchers from the student seedlings.

Keywords: dialectics; philosophical approach; formative research; scientific method.
