CANTU MUNGUIA, Irma Adriana; MEDINA LOZANO, Alejandra  and  MARTINEZ MARIN, Francisco Alejandro. Research Seedbed: Educational Strategy to Promote Technological Innovation. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.19, e011.  Epub May 15, 2020. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v10i19.505.

The research seedbed training proposal, as conceived thanks to the support of the academic area of the Instituto Tecnológico José Mario Molina Pasquel y Henriquez (ITJMMPH), Puerto Vallarta Campus, reflects the interest in concrete technological development projects and innovation that not only allows the student to enter into basic and applied research, but also to enter, through technological transfer, the possible commercialization of their projects.

The methodology used is that of a participatory action investigation. Because it is intended that the student develop specific skills to think autonomously. This is expressed in two aspects: the first, through the design and construction of an individual or collective research proposal that encourages the active, critical, reflexive and proactive participation of all group members; and the second, in the management and development of said proposal. Three categories of analysis were established: design of the research project, development and monitoring of the project.

This article proposes the administrative, academic mechanisms and methodological elements through which the training of researchers is encouraged, as well as the practice of extracurricular research, both for students and teachers, for the generation and development of technological projects and functional prototypes that will be part of the institutional heritage.

Keywords : higher education; engineering; educational innovation; research and development; method.
