MURCIA PENA, Napoleón  and  RAMIREZ LOPEZ, Camilo Andrés. The objectives of research in education and pedagogy in Colombia. sophia [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.1, pp.75-84. ISSN 1794-8932.

We present the investigative tendencies (regions) that emerge in Colombia from the purposes or objectives of the theses carried out in the masters and doctorates programs in Education and pedagogy in the last decade (2000-2010). The study was carried out from the complementarity approach proposed by Murcia and Jaramillo, articulating the logics of Michael Serres in terms of mapping social phenomena, and interpretive hermeneutic views to access these reliefs in a landscape perspective, which allowed to unravel the visible and scarcely visible protrusions, ridges and great plains of the investigation in education and pedagogy in great part of the investigative national geography; in the case of this article, referred to its pretensions. The sympathetic region stands as one of the most prominent protrusions of this landscape, succeeding in displacing, and almost entirely hiding regions highly relevant in the past, such as those whose purposes were explanatory, diagnostic, correlational or comparative.

Keywords : research in Colombia; research objectives; qualitative research; research method.
