University and new students: (dis)agreements in the relations with knowledge

Abstract

In this article we will present some key analysis of the problem of entering first-year students the Argentine university. For this purpose, the Argentine university system will be characterized first. Then, it will be justified and substantiated how the entrance to the university has become a political and academic problem. Finally, based on some results of an investigation that we carried out at the National University of Río Negro that give account of this problem, we will argue the hypothesis of certain (dis)agreements between the relations with the knowledge promoted by the university and that the new registrants. We consider it relevant a fertile explanatory path for the understanding of this problem.
