Abstract

Research is not a new discussion topic for the Colombian academic community. Therefore, institutions of higher education such as Universidad La Gran Colombia attempt to generate alternatives to foster research processes in undergraduate students. Unknown, this is a difficult task for researchers because they are usually reluctant to search, track and appropriate knowledge supported with solid theoretical basis that allow them to generate an academic discourse beyond the collective imagination. In fact, this research was focused on creating academic writings from comparative researches that were enhanced and contextualized within the international seminar held at the Missouri State University in the United States of America. The analysis of data shows that the research process is always a joint task as there is an academic discipline from the student and constant feedback from the professor or researcher.
