Sociability in the praxis of liquid learning. A look from the generation of crystal in the university context

Abstract

The central purpose of this article is to show the scenario through the experiences of the crystal generation in the university context of the 58 “Francisco de Miranda” National Experimental University (UNEFM), which served as a means to generate a theory of sociability in the praxis of the liquid learning. It was approached from the interpretive paradigm, with a qualitative approach, under the current of thought of Martínez's symbolic interactionism and as a method Charmaz's Grounded Theory. Among the techniques are in- depth interview and observation, the informants were the students of the Gerontology Program (UNEFM), from the academic area where I work as a teacher. I will base the theoretical foundation of the study on the contributions of: Simmel (2003) and Leoz (2019) regarding the Theory of Sociability, Bauman (2001), referring to the Theory of Liquid Modernity, Nebrera (2021), Theory of the Crystal Generation, Martínez (2004) and Blumer (1982) regarding the methodological aspects and Charmaz (2006), regarding the selected method, in this case Grounded Theory. This study will be a reference in the field of social sciences to understand the relationship of this crystal generation at the university level.
