Student research seed mill “Urban Sketch”. An empowerment strategy for students and teachers

Abstract

Venezuelan education is going through a crisis of structure and content, teachers and students try to maintain an optimal educational level. If the deepest needs of these processes are taken into account, we consider it prudent to include raising the participatory academic level of the protagonists of the teaching-learning process, in this sense, student seedbeds arise, described as groups of students who create spaces, weave networks, they develop academic activities, representing a permanent innovative component of the curricular transformations. That is why it is proposed to analyze the implementation of some changes, which promote the closing of the gap between students and their study techniques, developing the innovation of teachers through their pedagogical strategies and reinventing the research process. From the methodological point of view, the research was developed with a self-correcting and progressive approach, combining documentary research with field research. The preliminary findings of the investigation can be mentioned, the stimulation and development in students and tutors-teachers, with greater critical investigative capacity and the greater capacity for searching for information, all based on the construction of narrative and knowledge structures through of talks and readings, the teachers-tutors, through corrections and suggestions, contributed in each of the research phases fulfilling the role of facilitators and guides.
