Abstract

AGUILAR MENDOZA, Nora. The UAM-Lerma and its educational model: organizational and interdisciplinary functioning in a university space. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.88, pp.141-166. ISSN 2007-8358.

This article delves into the organizational conditions that favor or inhibit the exercise of the educational model in a recently created university. Since the model's trademark is an inter-disciplinary approach, the author analyzes the dilemmas and tensions generated in the social interaction created by interdivisional work, the forms the collegiate exercise takes on among the academics, and certain institutional behavioral patterns that denote the complex, incipient processes for making the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) Lerma campus educational model operational.

Keywords : higher education; educational model; interdisciplinarity; academics; university teaching.
