Métodos narrativos en investigación social y educativa

Abstract

Social and educational research currently needs reflexive processes that allow it to continue strengthening its methodological dynamics, in such a way that it overcomes the colonizing attempts of positivism about its validation, while at the same time it can instead favor the consolidation of deep proposals and according to the understanding of the worldviews and needs of the contexts addressed in perspective of the transformation of their realities. Hence, this article aims to contribute to this task by the presentation of some contributions of the narrative methods, since the results of a systematic documentary review in dialogue with the researchers' own experience, allow us to conclude that its epistemological foundation, nature, meaning and incidence in the research field in general allow not only the collection of detailed information situated in context, but also a broad understanding of human daily life from the same experience and experience of the subjects and their communities.
