The qualitative research in social science

Abstract

Science produces a systematization of knowledge and a joint of propositions logically correlated about the behavior determined object that is wished to study. It is a homogenic way of reality construction and it is considered the unique promoter of the truth in the current world. Considering the discussions about this question in the complex and globalized society, it can also be said that the way of thinking that guide the social relations ordering in the contemporanity, are not totally informed by scientific knowing, as a homogenic way of thinking. In the Social science, the study object is essentially qualitative, in other words, is worried with a reality that cannot be quantified, as it works with attitudes, meanings, values, translating the subjectivity of the investigation process. This process begins with a research exploratory phase, in other words, the construction of the research project, with the investigation theme choice, contextualization of the problem, justification, and study object definition, objectives, guiding questions, construction of the conceptual and theo ric mark, appropriate methodology and activities chronogram. The second phase corresponds to the field work, with data production through interviews, observations, documental and bibliographic material raising and straight away, the third phase to the treatment of the material produced in the field through ordering, classification and analysis. This way, the Interdisciplinary magazine, has presented qualitative approach research, considering that the social research, represents the theoric way that point the dynamic of the real in society and study social life applying its principals phenomena, understanding each step of reality is seen as something transitory, that can be transformed by the human action.
