Description
Summary:	The possibility of forming and consolidating academic work groups in the university context is a fundamental task. The development of communities and social capi-tal allows to increase the potential production of these groups, being therefore essential to understand the dy-namics of those categories to determine if its structure makes working groups possible. The objective of this research consisted in understanding the community di-mensions and the social capital as dynamic elements of a work group in the Health-Environment nucleus within a University in Bogota, Colombia. By means of a quali-tative approach survey of hermeneutic type, 15 profes-sors from the Health Science area were interviewed, five additional qualitative interviews (two within the original group, three outside) were conducted with professors, who had investigated and written papers on this theme. A collective activity of inquiry, participative observation through the methodology of focal group, whose objective was to understand the dynamics of inter-action between professors of the Health Science Area of the university and to review the academic work produced by the edu-cational participants of the investigation, was realized. Nothing seems to indicate that the communitarian dimensions and the social capital are elements which promote a work group in the nucleus health-atmosphere within the institution. Nevertheless, the explanation of this fact is not in the mentioned nucleus, but in the low levels of development of the community dimensions such as cognitive and structural dominions inherent to social capital.
