Resumen

Este artículo reporta un estudio de métodos mixtos en cinco programas de maestría en enseñanza del inglés en Colombia. El propósito del proyecto fue identificar las áreas de mejoramiento, así como las estrategias de intervención que los candidatos y exalumnos de M.A. abordaron en sus proyectos de investigación. Este estudio identificó los métodos, técnicas e instrumentos de investigación prevalentes. Los métodos de recolección de datos incluyeron análisis documental, grupos focales, charlas informales, entrevistas y encuestas a estudiantes, profesores, asesores de tesis y administradores de estos programas. Los resultados indican que en la mayoría de los programas el objeto de estudio elegido por el cuerpo estudiantil de M.A tiene que ver con las habilidades de lenguaje, la motivación y el diseño curricular. Los resultados sugieren que los programas aplican la investigación cualitativa, especialmente la investigación-acción. El estudio también encontró que estos se concentraban en preguntas sobre factores afectivos, habilidades lingüísticas y desarrollo profesional. Otro resultado indicó que los estudiantes y exalumnos describieron su participación en el programa de M.A como la oportunidad de desarrollo profesional más enriquecedora en su experiencia académica. Este estudio hace un llamado al gobierno local y nacional para continuar invirtiendo en educación superior continuada al nivel de postgrado para convertirla en una iniciativa educativa con independencia de presiones políticas.
