SAAVEDRA-CANTOR, Carlos Julio et al. Seedbeds of Research: Developments and Challenges in Undergraduate Training. educ.educ. [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.3, pp.391-407. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2015.18.3.2.

Seedbeds for research are being consolidated as an extracurricular strategy to train researchers beginning at the undergraduate level. The objective of this study was to describe the developments and challenges of seedbeds for research in undergraduate training in Colombia. The conclusion is that seedbeds for research are characterized as alternative scenarios for academic debate and research, ones that strengthen the research skills of teachers and students, encourage interdisciplinarity, favor a generational shift, and orient the student's projection or potential as a professional.

Keywords : college teaching; training researchers; higher education; teaching institutions; higher education in Colombia.
