Percepción y análisis de la comunidad universitaria sobre el sistema actual de investigación de la comunicación en España

Abstract

[ES]Este artículo explora las prácticas sociales de la investigación en Comunicación en España. Recoge los resultados de una encuesta dirigida al profesorado en activo censado en las universidades españolas con titulación de Grado y Postgrado en Comunicación, a investigadores afiliados a las comunidades científicas y a los doctorandos de Comunicación. Metodología. Se ha invitado a participar a un total de 2418 investigadores con acceso al cuestionario mediante un link, siendo 838 los que respondieron a las preguntas. Resultados. El estudio muestra un cierto desfase entre lo que son las políticas institucionales académicas y la percepción que tienen los investigadores sobre ellas. Discusión. Se advierte la escasa relación que en el campo de la Comunicación existe entre la empresa y la universidad, una relación que debiera implicar un modelo de generación de conocimiento transferible al ámbito social y laboral como forma de obtener valor añadido.

Methodology. A total of 2,418 researchers were invited to participate and were granted access to the questionnaire by clicking a link, being 838 the number that completed the questions. Results. The study shows a certain mismatch between academic institutional policies and the perception of researchers about them. Discussion.
