1. Week 1 - Introduction to research

   • Nature
     • Focus of research
       • Quantitative
       • Qualitative
         • Covers the process investigative in all its stages:
           • Definition of the topic
           • Approach of the Research Problem
           • Development of theoretical perspective
           • Definition of the strategy methodological
           • Collection, analysis and data interpretation
       • Mixed
   • The end
     • Generate knowledge new that serves for the problem solving
       • Theorists
       • Practical
       • Mixed
   • Model Research UNIMINUTO
     • Emphasize especially the social:
       • With the purpose of:
         • Train social engineers, capable of engaging in the development of Colombia.
         • Train pedagogues who guide the new population of Colombia.
     • Addresses the research like the bridge between:
       • Theory
       • Practice
         • To generate knowledge that contribute to:
           • Transform the environment
           • And to the actors who intervene in the investigative process
             • Your knowledge
             • Attitudes
             • Aptitudes
             • Behaviors
             • Who investigate in UNIMINUTO
               • Researchers
               • Investigation groups
               • Hotbeds of research
               • Research and Innovation Centers
     • Lines of investigation
       • Education, transformation Social and Innovation
       • Human development
       • Social and Productive Innovations
       • Social management, participation and community development

2. Week 4

   • Bibliographic aids.
     • Creation of a bibliography database wanted.
       • They usually offer the possibility of saving the list of search results that we do in different formats or styles.
   • TIC tools.
     • MS-Office tools for bibliographic references.
       • Mendeley
       • Endnote
       • Zotero
     • Search engines
       • They are computer systems that, by inserting a keyword, analyze the data on the web and generate results. Web pages are indexed by an algorithm based on statistical-mathematical formulas.
     • RGH library resources.
       • Catalogue
       • Repository
       • Databases
       • E-books

3. Week 3

   • Bibliographic support.
     • It is the part of the document in which the bibliographic sources or resources that were used as theoretical support for the research are included.
   • Information search relevant.
     • It is all the material consulted to do an investigation.
   • Construction of the theoretical framework.
     • Logical structure and its constituent elements:
       • 1. Research background.
       • 2. Theoretical bases.
       • 3. Conceptual bases.
       • 4. Bibliography.
       • 5. Drafting the theoretical framework
         • Stages
           • Detailed statement of the theory used to define the research problem.
           • Interpretation of the problem under the terms of the theory.

4. Week 2

   • Research Problem
     • It is what you want to explain from the researcher's task.
       • The purpose of an investigation is to provide a solution: what is investigated, in this way, supposes a problem to be solved.
     • His construction
       • Elements of a Problem Statement
         • Qualitative and quantitative research
           • Deficiencies in the knowledge of the problem.
           • Justification.
           • Viability
           • Research questions.
           • Goals
     • Delimitation
       • It is "the clipping" that is made of the topic to be investigated, within the limits of space, time and thematic that characterizes the object of knowledge.
     • Theorization
       • It refers to the construction of a theoretical reference to the problem, which means bringing together the conceptual baggage and the theories already developed regarding it.
