The Investigative Component in Professional Training: An Experience from a Student Scientific group Linked to Energy Education

Abstract

The objective of the training process for technical professionals is their comprehensive preparation, with the development of ways of acting, thinking and feeling, which identify them with their profession and can make them agents of development, in all areas of life. As part of this, one of the substantive processes that is of special importance is the investigative process. This has its presence throughout the career, and is expressed from the search for information to deepen the content from the teaching tasks of each class, to the completion of studies, in which the skills to define a research problem lie, specify categories of a theoretical and methodological design, as well as make a proposal to contribute to its solution. Hence, this article addresses an experience in the training of graduates in education in the Electrical specialty, from its organization and development, through a student scientific group. This prepares them for, from the exercise of their profession as a teacher, to develop an energy education for mid-level electricity technicians and members of the community, with activities proposed in their culmination work of study.
