Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, pp.394-408.  Epub Nov 01, 2022. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.6087.

The article exposes historical elements that have influenced the configuration of educational research in Colombia in recent decades to show how this context has influenced the educational researcher. In the first place, it describes gaps present in educational research works. From there, the analysis focuses on the contemporary university and the effects that cognitive capitalism and commodification have had on these institutions, which are one of the scenarios where educational research is conducted. Thirdly, it shows the incidence of mercantile logic in the training of educational researchers. Finally, the article proposes elements to stress the field and influence the training of future researchers and the practices of current researchers, so as to achieve a reorientation of the parameters, which determine the educational field.

Keywords : Educational Research; Researcher Training; Educational Policy; Teacher Training; and Cultural Hegemony.
