š§ UNIT II: DESIGN OF THE ANALYTICAL-CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURE
šæ 1ļøā£ Identification of categories and key concepts
Categories and key concepts help organize and understand the object of study within research.
š¹ Identification of categories:ā Selection of central conceptsā Organization of the object of studyā Conceptual constructionā Interpretation of the phenomenon
š¹ Theoretical review:ā Consultation of specialized literatureā Comparison of definitionsā Adaptation to the contextā Relationship between concepts
š¹ Functions of categories:ā Delimitation of the studyā Organization of analysisā Basis for variables and indicatorsā Conceptual clarity
š¹ Importance:ā Facilitates understanding of the phenomenonā Avoids ambiguitiesā Strengthens analysisā Connects theory and practice
šæ 2ļøā£ Construction of the theoretical and conceptual framework
The theoretical and conceptual framework provides the scientific and explanatory foundations of the research.
š¹ Theoretical framework:ā Review of theoriesā Scientific supportā Explanation of the phenomenonā Methodological guidance
š¹ Conceptual construction:ā Definition of conceptsā Relationship between categoriesā Analytical organizationā Research coherence
š¹ Critical function:ā Comparison of approachesā Identification of gapsā Reflective analysisā Research perspective
š¹ Characteristics:ā Dynamic processā Constant updatingā Integration of theory and practiceā Scientific foundation
šæ 3ļøā£ Establishment of variables and indicators
Variables and indicators make it possible to transform abstract concepts into observable elements.
š¹ Variables:ā Observable elementsā Different manifestationsā Dimensions of the phenomenonā Relationship with the problem
š¹ Indicators:ā Concrete evidenceā Measurement of variablesā Specific observationā Data organization
š¹ Functions:ā Facilitate data collectionā Instrument designā Systematic analysisā Interpretation of results
š¹ Importance:ā Methodological coherenceā Research validityā Analytical precisionā Organization of the study
šæ 4ļøā£ Development of conceptual maps and theoretical schemes
Conceptual maps and theoretical schemes visually organize the relationships between concepts and categories.
š¹ Conceptual maps:ā Hierarchical representationā Organization of ideasā Relationship between conceptsā Visual understanding
š¹ Theoretical schemes:ā Explanatory modelsā Relationship between variablesā Research processesā Conceptual dynamics
š¹ Functions:ā Facilitate analysisā Detect inconsistenciesā Organize informationā Improve understanding
š¹ Benefits:ā Conceptual clarityā Scientific communicationā Visual synthesisā Methodological support
šæ 5ļøā£ Articulation of hypotheses or guiding assumptions
Hypotheses and guiding assumptions direct the analysis and interpretation of the research.
š¹ Hypotheses:ā Relationship between variablesā Tentative explanationsā Empirical verificationā Research prediction
š¹ Guiding assumptions:ā Interpretative guidesā Qualitative understandingā Exploration of meaningsā Analytical flexibility
š¹ Characteristics:ā Conceptual coherenceā Relationship with objectivesā Theoretical foundationā Methodological clarity
š¹ Importance:ā Guide the studyā Organize the analysisā Facilitate interpretationā Strengthen results
