Scientific research
Scientific research can be understood as the process or the way in which
which we acquire new knowledge or expand it for the solution of
problems or questions with a scientific approach. This research has
a series of requirements such as discipline, systematizing thought and
systematize the actions; all of them with the purpose of obtaining knowledge
be in a more orderly manner. And once we have and apply
all this that we know as 'Scientific Research' becomes and turns into
in science.
In scientific research, certain valid hypotheses must be constructed.
since, it is necessary to back up and support with pre-existing knowledge, it is necessary to
to have a data collection that helps us and serves our assumptions,
there must be a break, that is, what we are going to break is a theory, a
practice, among others and finally it must have a justification, as it is necessary to
to justify that our investigative process is truly worthwhile.
It is necessary to be clear about the epistemological foundation, as this takes different forms.
characteristics according to the specialty of the science and questions are asked such as
Is it possible to know a phenomenon? What are the limits of that knowledge? And
this helps us to have a good research. Scientific knowledge is another
An aspect that must be clear should be adjusted to logical reasoning, must
be feasible and clear, it can incorporate into the body of prior knowledge of
It must be coherent and should be systematic and structured.
The research protocol addresses the methodology, we must seek that
methodology we can apply in the research process, since the methodology
helps us to take some logical steps in the research.
Educational research encompasses thematic fields:
Theoretical pedagogy is defined as the set of concepts,
definitions, prepositions, statements, principles that interrelated allow
to explain and understand the pedagogical, that is, everything related to training,
teaching, learning, the curriculum, and school organization. More, if one
assuming Lakatos's conception (1978), the pedagogical theory can be defined as
thought structures constituted by values, beliefs, and assumptions that give rise to
allow the teacher to interpret situations, conceptualize their experience,
systematize it, investigate it, transform it and build the pedagogical practice,
contributing to enrich the theory and pedagogical discourse.
Experimental theory: it is a discipline whose purpose is to establish some foundations.
solid empirical evidence for educational activity.
Educational innovation: it is the introduction of ICT in teaching as a process
of educational innovation.
An educational innovation involves the implementation of a significant change.
in the teaching-learning process. It should incorporate a change in the
materials, methods, contents or in the contexts involved in teaching.
For educational innovation, these three elements must be taken into account:
Technological sphere
Pedagogical sphere
Organizational sphere
Research Approaches
Research is a set of systematic, critical, and empirical processes that
are applied to the study of a phenomenon.
Quantitative Approach
Use data collection to test hypotheses, based on measurement.
numeric and statistical analysis to establish behavior patterns and
test theories.
It is a set of sequential and rigorous processes. It starts from an idea that once
limited derives research objectives and questions, the literature is reviewed and
a framework or theoretical perspective is constructed.
- hypotheses are established from the questions and variables are determined, a development is carried out
plan to test them (design)
Qualitative Approach
Use non-numeric data collection to discover or refine
research questions in the interpretation process; it is also known as
as a phenomenological, interpretative, or ethnographic naturalist.
