BIBLIOMETRIC AND INTERPRETIVE ANALYSIS OF THE THESES OF THE BACHELOR OF PEDAGOGY AT THE NATIONAL PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY, ACAMBAY REGIONAL CAMPUS, MEXICO

Abstract

This research was developed at the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional and analyzes the formal characteristics of the degree works to obtain the Bachelor's degree in Pedagogy, which the author believes will have a determining influence on the quality in the professional practice of the graduates as teachers. It is supported by the bibliometric analysis of the degree works presented by the first five generations of the Bachelor's degree in Pedagogy in the 2014-2018 graduation period. We show the number of graduates for each of the advisors, their professional training based on their academic degree, the subjects of the elementary and telesecondary curricula addressed, the topics on which the thesis students focused their interests, which were mostly proposed based on the educational problems they focused on during their social service and professional practices through a pedagogical diagnosis, the most common degree option and the modality of the basic education schools where the educational proposals emerged or were carried out. The patterns that explain the development of the aspects of the terminal works are presented, and at the end the idea that the UPN, whose motto is “Educate to Transform”, has built a pedagogical formation that reproduces the prevailing schemes in basic education schools and not its transformation as its motto suggests.
