Ciencia y profesión. Una experiencia de investigación psicosocial en el ámbito deportivo

Abstract

This work was proposed to share and critically analyze situations that underlie a research process in the psychosocial field in the sports field. At the crossroads between the professional empirical experience, carried out in the accompaniment, assistance and psychological guidance of male soccer players from a club in the city of Córdoba-Argentina, and the beginning of field work within the framework of academic production study carried out to access the Master's degree in Psychosocial Intervention and Research from the Faculty of Psychology of the National University of Córdoba, four dimensions were problematized: the construction of the role as a researcher, the challenge of carrying out field work in a known context, the link with the key informants and the crossroads between demand and commission, in which the academic production derived from said practice was involved. To answer them, the field records produced in the framework of the ethnographic research process were recovered. Finally, it is argued that the recognition of the dilemmas, tensions and negotiations derived from the methodological elements, was presented as a central ethical-political dimension for the production of knowledge.
