NOUEIHED, Najwa Alaeddine  and  SOLANO LEDEZMA, Nereida. FROM THE LOGIC OF RATIONALIZATION THINKING TO THE CONTINUUM OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS. Saber [online]. 2013, vol.25, n.2, pp.227-233. ISSN 1315-0162.

In the positivist tradition, the fundaments that rule the model to investigative schemes are shown as immovable, however, they went into crisis. We talk of crisis as this rigid and linear process, is used in dealing with the complexity of what happens in the changing and paradoxical social reality. This conflict puts to the fore the need to rummage around the episteme on which the research process is based. The purpose of this research is to give a new look to address this uncertainty, through questioning the assumptions underlying the research of social reality, giving a new meaning to the object of study, theory and method, artificially segmented into operational concepts unfamiliar to unpublished categories. Hence the complex integration between problem situation, theory and methodological framework should be rethought, facing the comprehensive interpretation of the lived experience. For these purposes an integrative methodology was undertaken which enabled categorical crosslink of elements in relational hermeneutic interpretation which invites to weave complex visions, that are also binding. From this epistemic and methodological construction calls are made for other forms of research, frameworks that transcend the frames imposed upon the individual researcher, researched and reader as construct, actor and builder of the continuum of reality, and the research process itself. The continuum of the research process is, thus, an expression of the relational dialogic that becomes into an ever unfinished final point in the production of knowledge.
