Resumo
Esta investigación busca determinar la estructura y organización de las buenas tesis en Educación en España con el fin de proporcionar información clara, concreta y útil a quienes inician la elaboración de sus tesis doctorales. Para ello se analizan todas las tesis en modalidad de monografía que han obtenido el premio extraordinario entre los años 2018 y 2022 en la disciplina académica de Educación en las universidades públicas españolas y que estuvieran disponibles a texto completo en el momento de la recogida de datos. En total, se estudiaron en profundidad 71 tesis de 25 universidades. Entre otros resultados, se encontró que las tesis con premio extraordinario tienen una extensión promedio de 405,4 páginas, excluyendo anexos. La distribución interna es la siguiente: Introducción, con 12,0 páginas de promedio (3,0 % del total); Marco Teórico, con 108,9 (26,9 %); Métodos, con 49,1 páginas (12,1 %); Resultados, con 134,1 (33,1 %); Discusión y Conclusiones, con 33,2 (8,2 %); y, por último, Referencias, que ocupan 33,3 páginas (8,2 % del total), lo que supone un promedio de 394,7 referencias. Con todo ello se aporta una gran cantidad de datos para las personas que empiezan las tesis y para las que las dirigen, que puede contribuir ayudar a elaborar mejores trabajos de investigación.
