Pre-scientific knowledge: the starting point of the research processes.

Abstract

This essay addresses some topics that are rarely a subject matter of conversation between researchers and teachers of higher education related to the little scientific rigor with which some research topics are addressed, which are often pondered without reaching important conclusions.

It is highlighted in this paper the previous knowledge that every scientific researcher must possess as an indispensable premise for an objective approach to the object of research, and finally, some deficiencies that we present in our academic work are pointed out when we conduct research or when we assign some responsibility to our students.

The writing refers to some topics or philosophical approaches that have been made over the last decades about scientific knowledge and the proposals made by some theorists to reach it. Also, some of the multiple deficiencies that many members of the educational community, teachers, and students encounter when we face the task of investigating with scientific character some topic that we consider relevant in our academic performance
