Research in higher education institutions as a substantive due process: the endogenous challenge

Abstract

From the wide current social demand for emerging research results to universities, in its relation to the fragmentation of university substantive due processes that has been interfering in the scientific knowledge process of production, an study of the research process in Higher Education Institutions is presented, from its integration with the rest of the university substantive due processes: academic formation and the social management of knowledge. Through the systematization of experiences as the joint axis of the research methodology used, in a coherent relation to the revision of web pages form Latin American universities, theoretical and practical inconsistencies were revealed in the scientific knowledge process production, from the essences of the own university cultural context, that is why a fissure is shown in the endogenous processes, from which a proceduralrationale of the endogenous research is proposed. Said rationale, due to its essentiality level, is applicable to a diversity of university contexts, as far as they need to potentiate the endogenous research integrating due processes.
