Abstract

GORINA SANCHEZ, Alexander  and  ALONSO BERENGUER, Isabel. Improving the information processing in the pedagogic researches from a qualitative-quantitative methodological relationship. Encuentros [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.189-206. ISSN 1692-5858.  https://doi.org/10.15665/re.v15i2.1201.

Within the essential aspects of all research is its scientific rigor. However, there are currently inadequacies in pedagogical research using the criteria of validity and reliability during the processing of qualitative-quantitative information. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the application of a method for integrating information processing in social research favors the rigor of the pedagogical research process, by conceiving this process as a complex informational system that manages, extracts and applies relevant information. For the evaluation, a mixed methodology was used. The result was an increase of scientific rigor in 30 pedagogical investigations that applied the method, favoring also its innovative potentiality from the qualitative-quantitative processing of information.

Keywords : pedagogical research; method; information processing; qualitative-quantitative; informational focus.
