Reflexiones metodológicas de investigación educativa. Perspectivas sociales

Abstract

Setting references around the being and the work of educational research means considering different perspectives, approaches or possibilities of doing so, which offer different points of understanding and approach to the reflections inherent in the act of research. This is why, based on the contributions of various researchers, an approach is proposed that enables reflection or guidance on essential elements of the research act. For this, the reader and researcher is presented with a contribution to the bibliographical collection of the Universidad Santo Tomás in the area of education. The development is centred on two initial texts that go into greater depth on aspects of the research method in education and show that research is not the result of an algorithmic formula, but is based on diverse variables, modes and procedures.
