Supported by the Colombian studies and the international discussion on the subject, this article proposes a chronological framework of its path and an interpretation of the forces and factors that defined its rhythm and orientation in each period to provide elements that can contribute to a better comprehension of the past and present of research, and to show the challenges and alternatives that the FCA face to consolidate the processes that are currently underway. © 2016, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
