Propuesta de proyectos que articulen la investigación y vinculación con la sociedad

Abstract

The objective of this article is to demonstrate the integration of research processes and links with society, based on the experiences in the Technologic Espíritu Santo (TES) in the process of founding projects of Research and Linkage with Society. The scientific problem that motivated the realization of this research was: How to achieve the integration of research and links with society in the Technologic Espíritu Santo? The content of the research was part of the internal and external diagnostic results that identify the institution's actions. In the external diagnosis, the demands of society towards the institution were taken into account in the areas corresponding to the academic offer. These demands are seen in the fields of professional training through teaching and the direct transformation of social reality (environment 2). For this, the following was taken into account:

* Historical links of the institution with specific entities or spaces.

* Location of entities with activity related to the training profiles of the institution.

* Location of development proposals in execution by other entities in which the institute can potentially be inserted.

To define the direct transformation of social reality (environment 2) a diagnosis was made in 2 cantons and an area that allowed the institution to identify according to our internal diagnosis the best place to act to achieve the direct transformation of social reality. Empirical methods were used, such as interviewing, scientific observation assisted by techniques such as document review and population and housing census. It was achieved as a result to demonstrate through 3 cases where a diagnosis was made to specify the projects of Linking with the Society and of Research that will guide the substantive processes of the TES in the next 5 years.
