“…This type of knowledge, traditionally connected to and produced in countries in the Global North, perpetuates its dominance by presenting itself as universal while discarding the value of alternative knowledges produced outside these countries. At the same time, this means that some knowledges are rendered visible and valuable, whereas others are invisibilised, marginalized, and seen as lacking value (Guzmán-Valenzuela & Gómez, 2019;Santos, 2013). In the past and present alike, countries in the world system semiperiphery often embraced the symbolic and empirical dominance of Eurocentric knowledge institutions and reproduced it in their own self-peripheralization and asymmetric knowledge exchange with those further "down" the symbolic ladder (Ivancheva & Syndicus, 2019).…”

“…Nuestro estudio no carece de limitaciones, desde luego. Quizás la principal es que, como descubren Guzmán Valenzuela y Gómez (2018), por cada artículo de corriente principal originado en América Latina hay otros diez no indexados, que conforman una literatura paralela que bien podría tener otros énfasis y preocupaciones que las que aquí reseñamos.…”

“…En el Cuarto Congreso Interdisciplinario de Investigación en Educación (CIIE) de 2017, la sección de educación superior fue la segunda con mayor cantidad de ponencias postuladas, con cerca de 100. Por su parte, América Latina en su conjunto también evidencia un incremento en publicaciones de corriente principal en educación superior desde 2000, aunque las publicaciones fuera de la corriente principal superan a las primeras en una razón de 10:1 (Guzmán-Valenzuela & Gómez, 2018). El escenario descrito permite preguntarnos de qué manera se configura la producción de conocimiento sobre educación superior en Chile, cuáles son sus énfasis y omisiones.…”

In the context of a recent increase in the Chilean production of knowledge within the field of higher education, this article reveals some trends exhibited by this production, as well as the main research topics. With this aim, we examine the number and institutional affiliations of research grants in the area, provide a bibliometric analysis of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus publications, and present a content analysis of works indexed in WoS and Scopus published from 2005 to 2015. Results show a clear growth pattern, both in research grants and articles published. Research capacities in the field appear to be distributed across several universities in Chile, and to involve scholars based not only in schools of education, but also those in several other academic units in diverse disciplinary and professional domains. Themes emerging from the content analysis can be grouped in four main research lines: curriculum, teaching and learning; trajectories and experiences of students; the academic profession; and higher education policy.

“…These open-access journals play an important function in providing a platform for Latin American academics to disseminate knowledge, albeit without visibility in major international indexes (Arevalo-Guízar & Rueda-Beltran 2016). Guzmán-Valenzuela and Gómez (2019) theorize that the extensive publication by academics from Latin America in these local and regional journals, while maintaining a publication presence in journals from the global North represents a "dual pattern of publication" by Latin American scholars that is utilised as a means of achieving "dual epistemic recognition" (2019:115, emphasis in original).…”

This paper presents a systematic review of the extent and nature of teaching and learning research in higher education in Colombia over the past two decades and shines light on a body of literature from the South that has been relatively invisible on the global stage. The study found that the volume of SOTL taking place in higher education in Colombia is greater than indicated by previous research, but is taking place unevenly across the higher education landscape. This paper explores the challenges faced by Colombian scholars in engaging in and publishing teaching and learning research. The findings show that while teaching and learning research is happening in higher education in Colombia there are major issues in identifying and locating that research due to a lack of consistent terminology to describe SOTL. The findings also show that the nature of research emerging from Colombia is highly aligned with the global North in terms of methods, methodologies and themes. This paper concludes with recommendations on how to make Colombian learning and teaching research more visible and to reflect to a greater extent the diversity and richness in teaching and learning that takes places in Colombia.
