Revisión y análisis documental para estado del arte: una propuesta metodológica desde el contexto de la sistematización de experiencias educativas

Abstract

The article presents the results of a research project aimed at creating a “state-of-the-art” approach to systematization of educational experiences as the basis for redefining and strengthening the use of educational experiences systematization within an academic program. In essence, the design and the application of a methodology for Documentary Analysis and Review (DAR) is socialized for the state-of-the-art benchmark, by establishing specific correlations between research problems and interests against nature of the systematization process. The study describes the research design and context called for by DAR, and also provides detailed definitions of theoretical, methodological and procedural sign-posts, specifically with regard to the methodology’s structural development, sub-phases, protocols, stages and instruments. We draw inferences about the methodology created including: a) justification of its development; b) the representativeness and scope of its referents; c) an assessment of the components included in its developmental structure, and d) potential advantages and scenarios for its application.
