Ideas or technical standardization?

While i was making my road in the career of sociology, i felt that some assignments in some subjects tried to merge the technical knowledge that the subject tried to teach, with a sociological problematization that is supposed to be the center of our career. This always goes wrong. There are two habitual possibilities, that one makes a totally insignificant problem with a good technical formulation or that one makes a worked and significant problem with not a technical formulation that suits the subject matter. In this last case, the teacher or the assistants criticizes the result and make the students reformulate the assignment to fit in the subject way. 

This logic go an go in almost all the subjects in the career, where the technical standardization goes before a good idea of investigation or a significant sociological problem. A first step for understand this i think is that the sociological thought is holistic and crosses all subjects and topics, and the subjects are fragments of knowledge and sociological reflections that were done in the past. 

Is not that the technical knowledge or the investigation methods aren't important, they are necessary to do science, and a sociology student has to know this before graduate. The problem is the pedagogy, the process made for teaches us this techniques and method. Is a process that smother all the students holistic ideas and thoughts to make them fit in certain technique or subject approach, putting the technical standardization before the sociological creative thought. This makes professionals that are well methodologists but that have no ideas no research or do critical or creative investigations. An example of this are the final subjects were we have to do an entire research and we don't have a topic to do it, many students delay their thesis for the same reason that we don't know what to research! we don't know what to do with the sociological knowledge that we learn in the career!
