An emerging concept planning

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to support an emerging concept of planning involved in the development of the research entitled "Towards an emerging paradigm of planning: Resignification from academic institutions". The main objective is to provide in sustaining an alternative rationality of planning, from reading some of the main concepts that are shaping the paradigm shift of contemporary science. In this respect a critical assessment of the current tensions and exhaustion of theoretical and practical planning, as support for the establishment of new processes conceptual foundations of planning is done.Generally new planning proposals, including the education sector and university settings, have gestated from instrumentalists intentions and operational methodologies embodied in that little or nothing to deal with obviously conceptual basis; which leads the planner to an epistemological imprisonment, because in the absence of solid theoretical reflections is difficult to overcome planning models when they become obsolete. It is expected that from this reflection on the nature of planning transformation processes are generated planning practices in educational organizations, especially at universities.
