El artículo reporta los hallazgos encontrados en torno a las creencias de profesores-investigadores sobre el trabajo colaborativo en la investigación del área de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras en la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, las cuales fueron identificadas y analizadas en una investigación de mayor envergadura que tuvo como objetivo estudiar los factores que favorecen y/o inhiben el desarrollo de la investigación en el área de las lenguas extranjeras en tres universidades mexicanas con el fin de favorecer el desarrollo institucional de la misma. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo-descriptivo basado en un cuestionario, en el cual se identificó que los profesores creen que la investigación colaborativa favorece la cantidad y calidad de su producción académica, así como su desarrollo profesional en un ambiente que si bien contempla esta forma de trabajar no proporciona las condicionas idóneas para el florecimiento de esta actividad.
There has been a growing interest in describing higher education academic literacy. In our study, literacy is conceived as multi-layered phenomena, multiple in its character, denominated "multiliteracies" (Cope & Kalantzis, 2013). Furthermore, within the multiliteracies frame, multilingual literacies (Martin-Jones & Jones, 2000) are distinguished and discussed in the present paper, in particular the development of biliteracy in local academic settings. This paper explores connections between the teachers' perceptions on literacy, teachers' own biliteracy development as publishing authors and researchers. The research draws on the data obtained through a questionnaire applied in the first phase of the project to 100 participants from three public universities from northern, central and southern part of Mexico, which was completed by analysis of narratives gathered through interviews from a reduced sample of participants (31). The results seem to indicate that language teachers-researchers perceive their L2 literacy in wider terms, beyond mere reading-writing skills development and decodification of the text, which seems to be apparent in academics with higher academic credentials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
