Research methodologies: a quantitative dialogue, qualitative and quali-quantitative

Abstract

The article prioritizes some of the approaches of research methodologies, in a quantitative, qualitative and quantitative-qualitative dialogue, for understanding the importance in the formative academic construction of the professor in the scientific investigation. This is a bibliographical research, that is, a review of literature and data collection, in which it is carefully observed what, in fact, these research methodologies in scientific construction and academic formation are, their definitions, such as the study object. However, this work brings brief characteristics about the types of knowledge, conducting itself by the historical questions of the positivist approach, by the dialectic posture and by the quali-quantitative method. Above all, the concepts that define the aforementioned research and the scientific relevance for formative education are presented. Therefore, the research qualifies in a mixed investigation according to its methods, in a discursive posture, without, however, presuming to exhaust it, but it is delimited in the academic formation, in order to reference the positivist hypotheses and the importance of dialectic in scientific research, especially the mixed posture between qualitative and quantitative research that, during the dissertation of the texts are seen in the foundation of scientific works in academic training, whether in undergraduate or postgraduate Lato Sensu or Stricto Sensu. With this, it is expected to reach the researchers' understanding that it is possible to take advantage of quali-qualitative methods with regard to scientific research.
