Resumen
La investigación aborda las dificultades y barreras que enfrentan los y las estudiantes de doctorado en educación a lo largo de su formación. Utilizando una muestra de 30 estudiantes del programa de doctorado en educación de una universidad del País Vasco (España)o, se exploraron sus experiencias y percepciones a través de preguntas abiertas, analizadas utilizando la técnica de análisis de contenido y la matriz de habilidades transferibles de Eurodoc. Los resultados, tras asignar cada una de las dificultades expresadas a las competencias correspondientes de la matriz, revelaron una media de 3,67 dificultades por persona, concentrándose principalmente en la categoría de investigación: gestión del tiempo y de proyectos, seguido de metodología, publicación, escritura académica, y gestión de la literatura. Las diferencias por género, etapa del doctorado y nacionalidad subrayan la diversidad de retos enfrentados, siendo los hombres, los estudiantes en etapas finales y los estudiantes internacionales quienes reportan más dificultades. Este estudio enfatiza la necesidad de dar respuesta a estas dificultades, así como la importancia de integrar habilidades prácticas y transferibles en los currículos doctorales, adaptándose a las necesidades del mercado laboral y promoviendo una formación más holística y versátil para los y las estudiantes, preparándoles para una variedad de trayectorias profesionales y contribuyendo significativamente a la sociedad del conocimiento.
The research addresses the difficulties and barriers faced by doctoral students in education throughout their training. Using a sample of 30 students from the doctoral program in education at a university from the Basque Country (Spain), their experiences and perceptions were explored through open-ended questions, analyzed using the content analysis technique and the Eurodoc transferable skills matrix , adding two emerging categories, economic resources and pandemic. The results, after assigning each of the difficulties expressed to the corresponding competences of the matrix revealed an average of 3.67 difficulties per person, concentrating mainly on research: time and project management, followed by methodology, publication, academic writing, and literature use and management. Differences by gender, doctoral stage and nationality underline the diversity of challenges faced, with men and students in final stages reporting more difficulties, although it is women who express a greater dispersion in the problems. Nationality also influences the difficulties, with international students expressing more problems. This study emphasizes the need to address these difficulties as well as the importance of integrating practical and transferable skills into doctoral curricula, adapting to the needs of the labor market and promoting a more holistic and versatile training for students, preparing them for a variety of career paths and contributing significantly to the knowledge society.
