Reflexiones en torno a la construcción del objeto de estudio

The interpretations which turn around the construction of objects of investigation are numerous and varied, since they are the reflection of the makeup of diverse thoughts which correspond to heterogeneous trends or perspectives to approach knowledge, but at the same time, a similarity among the diverse ways of conceiving the “object of study” can be identified, as well as the similarities in the manner to approach it. For such a reason, by analyzing the different conceptions concerning a phenomenon or social fact, the manners in which the connections are established among the theoretical concepts and the methodological st rategies for their understanding, constitutes an important step in the scope of reality, knowing that it is not presented as being sole, unique and truthful, but as multiple realities (although it may not tend to chaos), according to the theoretical perspective used for its discernment. In this sense, conceptions of some researchers on this matter are briefly introduced; likewise three interviews made to instructor researchers with a long and recognized experience both in the academic world and research in the area of education and communication are shown here; making clear the manner in which they built an object of study and the manner how they approached it. The author concludes her paper with a personal interpretation –in training– in the manner to approach the objects of investigation, which in this particular case, are made up by the social representations of science in undergraduate students.
