Abstract:

Abstract: This essay seeks to deepen the analysis of qualitative research, based in referenced authors and from the experience of the author of the essay herself. The hypothesis is that in order for an analysis to be considered truthful, it needs to be based in the structuring qualitative research terms that are: the verbs comprehend and interpret; and the substantives: experience, common sense and social action. The 10 steps begin with the construction of the object by its placement into the national and international scientific knowledge; the development of tools that make the theoretical concepts tangible; the execution of field work that revolves the researcher empathetically with his participants in the use of various techniques and approaches, making him a builder of relationships, observations and of a narrative in perspective. Finally, the author deals with the analysis itself, showing how the object, which has already been studied in all the previous steps, should become a second-order construct, in which predominates the logic of the actors in their diversity and not just their speech. The final report must be a theorized, contextualized, concise and clear narrative.
