Authenticizing the Research Process
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study reflects the main concern of students (national and international) who are trying to get a postgraduate degree in a third world (or "in means of development") . The emergent problem found is that students have to finish their thesis or dissertation but they do not really know how to accomplish this goal. They resolve this problem by authenticizing the process as their own. The theory of authenticizing involves compassing their way to solve the problem of advancing in the research process. + Compassing allows the student to authenticize his/her research process, making it a personal and owned process. The main categories of compassing are the intellectual, physical and emotional dimension patterns that the student has, learns and follows in order to finish the project and get a degree. Authenticizing implies to author with authenticity their thesis or dissertation. Compassing allows them to do this in their own way, at their own pace or time and with their own internal resources, strengths and weaknesses.
