A bridge between inquiry and transmission: The study and research paths at university level
Résumé
This paper focuses on the notion of ‘Study and Research Path' (SRP) proposed in the frame of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, as it was designed and implemented in first-year courses at university level of business and administration degrees. First, we show how SRPs can ‘live' at university level, describing the conditions and constraints under which they take place in two different university institutions. Secondly, we focus on how SRPs can promote the interaction between different teaching approaches: those derived from inquiry-based models and those based on transmission pedagogies. Finally, we indicate why this interaction is essential as it enriches the students' milieu and enables the dialectics of questions and answers, both crucial elements in the evolution of the study process.
