Degree of Academic Literacy in Teachers of the Universidad Regional del Sureste
Abstract
The objective of this project is to investigate the degree of knowledge of the professors of the School of Nutrition of the Universidad Regional del Sureste regarding the most common normative guidelines in the production of academic texts. It is a descriptive research, with an observational-cross-sectional design. The sample was made up of teachers from the School of Nutrition. Likewise, the present study is of causality, with a dichotomous character, that is, it proposes a dependent variable, the teachers of the School of Nutrition, and an independent variable, formulated as “Degree of academic literacy in the teachers of the School of Nutrition”. Among the results, it stands out that the standards of the American Psychological Association (APA) have a greater reach within the field of research and production of academic texts, due to the greater structuring, application and dissemination that they give to their regulations. It is concluded that the teachers of the School of Nutrition know the different types of academic texts (essays, reports and monographs) and that, as with the teachers, the greater regulations followed in the preparation of school work by students is that of the APA. Finally, the development of a normative manual for the production of internal academic texts is proposed that provides homogeneity to the documents produced by students in the different subjects they study throughout their career.
