Perspectivas, supuestos y reflexiones en el campo de la investigación desde la experiencia de formación universitaria en Desarrollo Humano

Abstract

Research in Human Development presents the same challenges as science in postmodernity. Building development processes from this Approach implies making continuous interpretations and analysis of realities based on holistic, flexible and complex principles, since pursuing welfare objectives with challenges such as climate change, social inequalities, poverty, terrorism, Violence, and systematic violations of human rights becomes difficult as relations between humans and between them and the rest of the ecosystems become more complex. In this article, we reflect on the nature of Human Development research, define some of its principles, and describe a particular experience in an undergraduate training program at the Central Western University Lisandro Alvarado, the Degree in Human Development, in order to guide the novel researcher to be inserted in this transdisciplinary field of knowledge.
