Este ensayo enfoca la urgente necesidad de incorporar el manejo epistemológico en las investigaciones universitarias, entendiendo Epistemología como Filosofía de la ciencia en el desarrollo de la investigación Diagnóstico, que en la etapa pre factual, constata la proliferación de lamentables posiciones positivistas, que anulan el enfoque filosófico, posición subjetiva y postura dialéctica del investigador. La revisión de investigaciones educativas, en pre y post grado, en diversas bibliotecas virtuales o físicas, permite constatar el dogmatismo positivista: validación del instrumento, Juicio de Expertos, Prueba Piloto, medidas de tendencia central, validez y confiabilidad cuantitativa, elemental interpretación de datos. Esano es la esencia válida, científica, objetiva de la investigación universitaria.

This essay focuses on the urgent need to incorporate the epistemological management in university researches, understanding Epistemology as the Philosophy of Science in the development of diagnostic research that in the pre factual stage, determine the proliferation of regrettable positivist positions that cancel the philosophical approach, it means the subjective position and the dialectical position of the researcher. The revision about educational researches of undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in several virtual and physical libraries, lets to verify the positivist dogmatism; validation of the instrument, expert judgment, pilot test, measures of central tendency, validity and quantitative reliability and elementary data interpretation. This is not the valid, objective and scientific essence of the university research.

The present work arose after the situational diagnosis and observation of thesis quality and Scientific articles produced in Pre and Postgraduate in Universities of the country. We worked with a representative sample of 50 university actors, who answered the questionnaire and scientifically allowed to verify the problematic situation. A model of knowledge management based on pedagogical constructivism, curriculum by competences in universities of the country and in strategic management was proposed. This model constitutes a multidisciplinary educational effort, aimed at changing attitudes, values, behaviors and structure of scientific research, adapted with new conjunctures, technologies and challenges in the university.  Key words: Model, management, knowledge, leadership, quality, research, scientific, epistemology.
