Enfoque epistemológico de la investigación cualitativa
Palabras clave:
investigación cualitativa, epistemología, metodología, reflexividad, ética de la investigaciónSinopsis
La investigación cualitativa permite comprender los significados, las experiencias y las relaciones que configuran la vida social. Este libro presenta sus fundamentos epistemológicos y ontológicos, y examina cómo estos orientan el diseño de una investigación, la selección de contextos y participantes, la recolección y el análisis de datos, y la interpretación de los hallazgos. Aborda métodos como la entrevista, los grupos focales, la observación y el análisis documental, junto con estrategias de rigor, validación y reflexividad. También analiza los desafíos éticos y las posibilidades y riesgos de la inteligencia artificial y las plataformas digitales. Dirigida a estudiantes, docentes e investigadores, la obra propone una práctica investigativa crítica, situada y responsable, capaz de reconocer diversas formas de conocimiento y contribuir a la comprensión y transformación de realidades sociales.
