Integrating methodologies in the data analysis under the symbolic interacionist paradigm: a practical example
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article discusses the challenge in combining different methods of analysis, due to the diversity of data collected in the field, so that such a diversity of methods does not present epistemological conflicts. It is offered an account of a case study, whose object of research was the understanding of how the sharing of tacit knowledge occurs with signs as mediators, analyzed in the light of semiotics. This study details the different types of data collected, and explains how this diversity was treated by a combination of different methods, aligned with each other within the symbolic interpretationist paradigm. It is expected that this work contributes as a practical example to researchers with similar proposals.
