Master's case of Sustainable Development and Environment. Entramado [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, pp.180-195.  Epub Jan 26, 2022. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.6940.

The results of the documentary study that aimed to interpret the trajectories of critical social and environmental thought in the theses of the Master's Degree in Sustainable Development and Environment at the University of Manizales are presented. The methodology used was qualitative with an interpretative scope, for which the systematic literature review and categorical analysis were used as methodological resources; the phases of the research were the exploration and documentary analysis of 76 theses developed between 2007 to 2018; with an organization in two categories: social rationality and environmental rationality. Regarding social rationality, an approach to human development was found from the position of researchers for the critical examination of themselves and their own traditions, the ability to think from diversity and plurality and the need to understand the sufferings of others. And in environmental rationality, researchers show their position around substantive, theoretical, technical and cultural rationality to identify and reduce environmental problems. The line of disciplinary logical thought was identical for later studies.

Keywords : Critical thinking; sustainable development; social development; environmental rationality; research scientific.
