La perspectiva constructivista en la investigación social

Abstract

From a constructivist perspective, this article intents to contribute to the debate: Integration of the called Quantitative and Qualitative Methods used in Social Research. Due to the mutual complementary of both methods, it deals with, not only the integral object of the study but also the ontological implication which the observer has when constructing the reality he describes, understands and explains. He also contributes with the basic elements of four paradigms which help to support the constructivist perspective: the systemic theory, the reality as construction in the way of life, the observation of the daily life as the privilege of the social scenery and finally the assumption of the language with generative character.
