Abstract

ACUNA-GAMBOA, Luis-Alan. Scientific Journalism and Educational Researchers’ Training in Mexico. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ. [online]. 2022, vol.52, n.3, pp.425-448.  Epub Sep 05, 2022. ISSN 2448-878X.  https://doi.org/10.48102/rlee.2022.52.3.506.

This paper exposes the limits and possibilities of educational researchers’ training in Mexico concerning the dissemination of science. From the criticism of these formative processes, it turns evident the scarce professional preparation of the consolidated researchers, as well as of the novices, to establish a plural and open dialogue with all the strata of Mexican society. The idea that scientific knowledge is for the consumption of academic elites within the educational field is still upheld, and not the opportunity to debate, from different points of view, regional educational problems. Based on this, scientific journalism is proposed as the primary activity for the social communication of science to build more equitable scenarios for making better political decisions in and for our National Educational System.

Keywords : scientific journalism; research training; educational research; Mexico.
