Academic Discursive Gender in High Education

Abstract

In the teaching and learning of literacy at the university level from the disciplines, the teaching of the discursive genres of the specialty is proposed. In this framework, this research addresses the study of the discursive genre Final Research Report of the Professional School of Chemistry at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, Perú. It is a qualitative, descriptive, and explanatory study of a corpus consisting of 10 final research reports of laboratory experiments. As a result, we propose that the characteristics of the FRR manifest the existing relationship between the language and society. Methodologically, we try to investigate the discursive practices where the relationships are established between the researcher and his object of study, man and nature, objectivity and truth, among other discursive axes, mediated by institutional norms and scientific practice norms, seen in the globalization view, and how these relationships are expressed in the text, as a product of those pedagogical and institutional discursive practices. Finally, some difficulties are presented in writing the FRR and it is suggested to give importance to the study of the discursive genres of the different disciplines to implement pedagogical projects according to the specificities of each of them
