Abstract
La presente tesis describió los atributos de las Sociedades Científicas Estudiantiles (SCE)
en el contexto peruano y cómo una de ellas aporta en los procesos formativos de las
competencias investigativas (CI) desde las opiniones de sus participantes. Métodos: Estudio
de caso que utilizó la encuesta, análisis documental, observación participante y entrevista.
La población fue las SCE (N=52) existentes en las escuelas académicas relacionadas a las
Ciencias de la Salud (CS) hasta el 2020. Posteriormente, se identificó a una SCE donde se
observó sus prácticas a través de un diario de campo. Finalmente, se entrevistó a cinco
estudiantes para identificar sus percepciones sobre la formación de sus CI. Resultados: Se
identificaron 143 universidades, 105 tuvieron al menos una escuela relacionada a las CS.
Algunas universidades (n=11) tuvieron más de una SCE, por tal motivo se identificaron 52
SCE en total. La SCE observada es una comunidad liderada por estudiantes, sus actividades
incluyeron: actividades formativas, producción, difusión y extensión social. Los estudiantes
indicaron que las actividades han permitido acercarse al quehacer de un investigador y
conocer sobre metodología de investigación. Conclusiones: Las características de las SCE
permiten registrar su existencia desde los años 90 en el contexto peruano; se ubican en
aproximadamente un tercio de las universidades que presentan al menos una escuela
relacionada a las CS. Sus prácticas permiten interpretarlas como semilleros de investigación
al combinar el quehacer investigativo y la formación de competencias. Las percepciones de
sus integrantes evidencian compromiso para fortalecer sus CI a través de diversas
actividades autogestionadas.
The present thesis had as objective to describe the attributes of all the Student Scientific Societies (SSS) in Peru and how one of them contributes to the formation of research skills (RS) from the opinions of its participants. Methods: Case study that used the survey, documentary analysis, participant observation and interview. The population was all the SSS (N=52) existing in the Health Sciences (HS) programs until 2020. Subsequently, one SCE was identified and its practices were observed through a field diary. Finally, five students were interviewed to identify their perceptions of their RS training. Results: 143 universities were identified, 105 had at least one school related to HS. Some universities (n=11) had more than one SSS, so a total of 52 SSS were identified. The SSS observed is a community led by students; its activities included: training activities, production, dissemination and social outreach. The students indicated that the activities have allowed them to get closer to the work of a researcher and to learn about research methodology. Conclusions: The characteristics of the SSS allow us to record their existence since the 1990s in the Peruvian context; they are located in approximately one third of the universities that present at least one school related to CS. Their practices allow them to be interpreted as research seedbeds by combining research work and competency training. The perceptions of their members show commitment to strengthen their ICs through various self-managed activities.
