The Classroom as a research space

Abstract

Current research in universities is complex due to the researcher´s workload since their time is often divided, in addition to the research, between teaching, linking and administrative management. Given this situation, it is difficult for the researcher to have enough time for the incorporation of fieldwork.

This field research is proposed descriptive, with the aim of showing that despite this situation, it is viable for full-time researchers to incorporate field research from the classroom, this being a valuable opportunity accessible to them, in various cases.

The research, presented as a case, is referred to the identification of the international entrepreneurial profile in students as well as the risks they perceive. The study population corresponds to the spring 2017 period of the degree in commerce and global business of the ITESO University of Guadalajara, Jal. Mexico.

The obtained results in the research were positive in respect of the presented case and, therefore, confirm the viability of the classroom as a research space.
