ABSTRACT
In the article I present research results regarding the impact, that the policies outlined by the Mexican State, articulated by the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT) and implemented by the Institutions of Higher Education (IES). they have in the process of training researchers, with special emphasis, in the fields that correspond to education and psychology. The research process is carried out through participant observation, conversations with students and professors of doctoral programs in the fields of psychology and education: besides the analysis of official documents where research policies are postulated and those that refer to the training of researchers in Mexico. In the communication I analyze the policies proposed by the National Cluster of Science and Technology (CONACyT) in relation to the role of research in Mexico, as well as the guidelines that it carries out through the National Postgraduate Program in Quality (PNPC) designed in the last decade of the 20th century in order to guarantee the training of researchers with high levels of quality. In the same way, I value the Program for the Professional Development of Teachers (PRODEP) in its attempt to organize researchers in Academic Bodies and guarantee in this way, the scientific productivity of the researchers of Higher Education Institutions. I question CONACyT's policies regarding the training of researchers, demonstrating their inconsistency and their limited contribution to the quality dynamics of postgraduate quality.
