Perception constructions, method and results: A sanitary study case. Epistemological trends in relation to translation thesis in Renati (Sunedu) from 2013 to 2020

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify epistemological trends in translation research published in the Renati repository of Sunedu 2013 to2020. For this purpose, substantive research at a descriptive level was carried out. Documentary analysis techniques and corpus linguistics were used to identify ontological and methodological trends in 339 translation research abstracts from four Peruvian universities: Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazon, Universidad Ricardo Palma, Universidad Cesar Vallejo and Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. The findings suggest that there is a preference for product-oriented research in translation, qualitative approach, and descriptive level. As for data collection instruments, results are varied, the most used being analysis sheets, surveys, and interviews
