The Sociology of Training in the Digital Age: New Engineering and Professionalization

This study aims to analyze how work digitalization and technological innovations influence the training engineering and professionalization processes in the Bachelor's degree in Sociology. A qualitative methodology based on Sociotechnical Discourse Analysis (SDA) was used to examine the relationship between technology and society and how these dynamics affect academic training in Sociology. The main findings reveal significant institutional resistance to adopting digital technologies (DT) and curricular changes, as well as a perception of digitalization as a temporary solution. Barriers such as gerontocracy, inadequate technological infrastructure, and an incentive system that discourages collaboration were identified. The conclusions underscore the urgent need to modernize the Sociology curriculum to include advanced digital competencies and foster a culture of innovation. It is recommended to implement pedagogical strategies that include the DT transversal use, continuous training programs for teachers, and a comprehensive curricular reform.
