Knowledge production policies in university education
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present a first exploration of the knowledge production policies promoted by Udelar in the field of higher education, in particular, university education. It is focused on central and decentralized policies for the training of highly qualified human resources (master's and doctorate theses in higher education); central policies to stimulate research on university education (institutional calls for projects). The analysis arises from a broad conceptual framework related to the study of higher education, the processes of institutionalization of disciplines and the role of postgraduate degrees. A first comparative approach is made of the main policy instruments applied during the years 2010-2019 in different dimensions and categories of analysis. Even with a late development, institutional policies show significant research results, primarily oriented to the construction of the field of university pedagogy, with a diversified approach in themes, disciplinary origin and institutional affiliation of researchers. The design of a multi-strategy of central political tools has enriched and maximized the production of knowledge in university education, enabling the emergence of a process of disciplinarization of the field.
