CARVAJAL, Beatriz Carolina. Gestalt and Heterodoxy: a proactive applicable change in university. Hallazgos [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.27, pp.69-91. ISSN 1794-3841.

The research that gives rise to this article is supported on personal experience in the area of human systems, specifically in the study of research activities and management of the Latin American university knowledge. From that previous experience, the premise is clear: the changing context requires answers to universities based on an avant-garde approach to understanding and interpreting social and natural facts. The objective underlying this report is to propose creative strategies for action in the research work for recycling research methods, and thus generate a proactive, gestalt and heterodox practice. The methods used were documentary research and hermeneutical reflection. A purposive sample was taken and interviews were conducted with key informants from various universities and institutes of Latin American research and are affiliated with one of these networks: 1) Network for Scientific Dissemination and Humanistic heterodoxies and 2) Network of Organizational Studies in Latin America, the Caribbean and Ibero-America. As a technical support, there is a reflection based on the gestalt constructs (Perls, 1977, Moreau, 1999; Vázquez-Badin, 2010) and heterodoxy (Savater and Villena, 1989; Carvajal, 2010a). It is concluded that proactive change applicable in university research praxis assumes responsibility, commitment and leadership of the university researcher as transformational agent, which leads to the revaluation of the university-productive sector partner and demand innovation bonding, creativity and permanent recreation of the research methods used to understand and interpret reality from heterodoxy and totality.
