CULTURAS DE LOS ESTUDIANTES DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN PROGRAMAS DE DOCTORADO EN EDUCACIÓN.

This article presents findings from a case study on the academic cultures that permeate the practices and processes of training educational researchers in three doctoral programs in education at Mexican universities. Three specific groups of culture production are identified: students, educators, and administrators; the assumption is that each group constructs meanings for particular aspects of educational research within a training process for researchers. The article describes shared meanings in the three programs, as a way to approach the students' understanding of their work as educational researchers and the field of educational research, based on their experience in each doctoral program.
