Abstract

In Honduras, currently there is no difference between academic and professional postgraduate programs. That is why the formation given for academic work ends up being considered equivalent to that of the professional work and viceversa. Research work for academic postgraduate programs, on the other hand, becomes the research model to be followed by professional postgraduate programs as well. This leads to problems in the education at the postgraduate level since it does not promote, and even discourages, the making of good quality proposals for professional areas in the pursuit of making proposals with a more academic format, which in the best case scenario inhibits research and in the worst case it creates hybrids that are neither good professionals nor good researchers. The proposal is to dig deeper into this difference and from the resulting analysis, to elaborate postgraduate programs in accordance with the needs and reality of the formation given at the higher educational level, particularly in the postgraduate programs so that they can contribute to the development of the country.
