Description
Abstract
Se pretende demostrar por qué es necesaria la enseñanza de métodos de
investigación en los estudios de Biblioteconomía y Documentación. Se exponen las
opiniones al respecto de diversos profesionales, profesores y científicos. Se mantiene
que el aprendizaje de la metodología científica sirve, en primer lugar, para
formar el espíritu crítico del alumnado y, en segundo lugar, para dotarle de herramientas
que le permitan en su futuro profesional actuar de manera racional y sistemática,
contribuyendo, además, a ampliar las bases científicas de la Biblioteconomía
y Documentación. A continuación se traza, en una breve panorámica
histórica, el surgimiento y la evolución de la enseñanza de la metodología científica
en las Escuelas y Facultades de Biblioteconomía y Documentación. Introducida
en las Escuelas norteamericanas en los años 30, la enseñanza de métodos de investigación
se ha convertido en la actualidad, de hecho, en una asignatura de importancia
creciente en los planes de estudios. De la misma opinión son las asociaciones
profesionales que consideran a esta materia como troncal. Esta misma
calificación ha recibido en España, donde es de obligada impartición en la Licenciatura
en Documentación

The author maintains that by learning about scientific methodology the students will first develop their critical spirit and secondly acquire the necessary tools that will make them act rationally and systematically in their professional careers contributing as well to broaden the scientific base of library and information science. Next, a brief overview is given of the appearance and development of the teaching of scientific methodology in library and information schools. Introduced in the North American schools in the 30s, the teaching of research methods has now become a subject of growing importance in school curricula.
