La defensa oral de los trabajos de titulación de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The ritual of the oral defense of the qualification work is the public demonstration of a research product. This is accompanied by certain formal aspects and rhetorical moves that are related to a respective disciplinary field. The present study aims to precisely define and characterize the oral defense of the work degree at the University of Cuenca; through the selection of seven samples of oral defenses (recorded audio and video) will explore how the investigative moments are organized, taking into account the thematic (segments) in which it emphasizes the participation of partners and formal aspects they are specific to each academic tradition.
