The epistemological use of literacy in university education

This article presents the results of a formative research project developed with students of the Bachelor of Law and Criminology at the Rosario Castellanos National University. The objective of this project was to demonstrate, or not, the viability of establishing a competence on the epistemological use of reading and writing, parallel to the disciplinary content of the subjects that make up the degree. The field work was carried out using an ethnographic methodology and the regular activities of three consecutive semesters were documented with respect to the same population of students. The work was done under a didactic of creating scenarios for the analysis and discussion of ideas, orally and/or in writing, based on multimodal materials and continuous assessment.
