Entre faits et discours
à propos du débat sur la Convergence Technique-méthodologique
Mots-clés :
Recherche sociale empirique;, Méthodologie quantitative et qualitative, Techniques et instrumentsRésumé
Au cours d’une recherche empirique, le volume et les variations dans la littérature méthodologique peuvent confondre le chercheur au lieu de le guider dans son travail. Voilà la toile de fond de cet article, qui présente quelques questions méthodologiques et épistémologiques relatives à la recherche sociale empirique dans un contexte qualitatif. Il aborde ensuite le débat sur l’usage simultané de techniques de recherche quantitatives et qualitatives. Deux questions sont à la base de ce désaccord entre les intégrationnistes et leurs opposants : l’incommensurabilité paradigmatique et l’interrelation entre plans ou entre théorie et technique. Finalement, l’article présente une systématisation des principaux arguments qui justifient l’intégration technique et méthodologique (ou triangulation).
