HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, Felipe. The policy of academic bodies at a public university. Hallazgos [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.36, pp.215-247.  Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/2422409x.6173.

This article makes analyzes the Program for Teacher Professional Development (PRODEP) that promotes research in higher education in Mexico, based on research groups called academic bodies. The study analyses the impact of this educational policy for the training and consolidation of academic bodies in the period 1996-2019 at the Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala, a public university. The objective is to assess the impetus for research through training researchers at academic bodies in accordance with the provisions of the PRODEP. The methodological approach is mixed; it uses the content analysis method that included an ideological and a reflective study, as well as a before-after analysis and the use of Sabatier's top-down approach. The results show that, despite the time it took for PRODEP to be accepted in the academic community of this university, it has had a positive impact, encouraging the training and development of academic bodies and improving the levels of competitiveness and academic qualifications of its professors. It is necessary to implement consistent and lasting institutional policies so that, together with national policies, the purpose of consolidating research in universities can be achieved.
