Abordaje multidisciplinario en la investigación para el estudio de uso del territorio y su ordenamiento en la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Guayaquil. Aspectos epistemológicos y metodológicos.

Abstract

The present study was focused on the multidisciplinary approach to the study of territory and its ordering, considering that multidisciplinary teaching favors the interaction and teamwork of future professionals despite not having prepared in the same branch. It is argued that current education has focused more on a rigid structure but globalization and the demands that the current environment imposes on future professionals have made multidisciplinary teaching a necessity, helping to approach a topic in a profound way from different approaches. The territory and its ordering is an issue that is approached by different professionals, specially because it is linked to the optimal development of a society if the territory is considered as a whole, however, although the point of view of each professional may not be similar to understand it from a different perspective, as a whole none of them is wrong. This is where teaching must adapt to this need, creating a teaching methodology that meets the requirements of future professionals, being more complete. In order to know the current state of the situation addressed, the study is considered as analytical since it addresses the problem in a profound way, facilitating the presentation of a significant contribution, adding that the research focus is mixed, that is, both quantitative and qualitative. Under the quantitative approach, 58 graduates of architecture were surveyed, who demonstrate limited knowledge about the territory and its ordering despite considering it fundamental, approving that it be managed in a multidisciplinary manner. Under a qualitative approach, professionals were consulted in four branches that were sociology, architecture, economics and ecology, knowing that each one had a different perspective but in the end it was adjusted to the definition of the territory and its ordering, adding that during their working life they have He had to work with different professionals and problems arose regarding the unification of criteria, considering that multidisciplinary teaching is necessary and offers many advantages. Knowing these developments, the proposal was supported, which involved the design of a model composed of recomendations for a comprehensive education to architecture students during their professional preparation, which builds the bases for a higher value knowledge in a highly competitive work environment.
