Creative virtuous circle between teaching, research and extension ; Círculo virtuoso creativo entre la docencia, investigación y extensión

Abstract

RESUMEN The interaction between teaching, research and extension is the main duty of the university. One way of testing the knowledge acquired in the classroom is through pre-professional practice, which in the case of economics is linked to data retrieval. The research project carried out by the Faculty of Economics (FCE) and the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Art (FADA) of the National University of Asunción entitled: Creative and sustainable cities: a new model of economic, social and cultural development. Case of study: The Historical Centre of Asunción (CHA) used new data collection techniques, breaking paradigms with new information storage platforms and geographical information system, materialised with tools such as the smartphones and interactive maps of the centre of Asunción. The methodology used at this stage was the field methodology, with surveys of 318 cultural and creative enterprises previously identified from the Economic Census database of the Directorate-General for Statistics, Surveys and Census (DGEEC). The results obtained show that the students involved in the project have a sound record of working and statistical concepts. In conclusion, it can be mentioned that work between teachers, school graduates and students generates a feedback that benefits the community, given the constant improvement in labour supply. ; RESUMEN La interacción entre la docencia, la investigación y la extensión es el principal deber de la universidad.
