La investigación en didáctica de la traducción. Evolución, enfoques y perspectivas

The objective of this article is to present the evolution of the didactics of translation and the pedagogical approaches that have been taken, as well as to suggest perspectives for research. It begins by outlining the evolution of translator training and research on the didactics of translation. It then describes the characteristics of the research carried out to date, presenting the approaches taken in two broad categories, specifically transmissionist, teacher-centred and product-oriented approaches; and student-centred and process-oriented approaches. Next, the article deals with the areas on which research has focused. Lastly, it looks at curriculum-related challenges in translator training, the most pressing needs where research is concerned, and the methodological challenges and problems research must tackle.
