Taking into consideration Serrano, Blanco, Ligero, Alvira, Escobar and
Sáenz (2009: 16-17), “... the combined use of both perspectives within the
same investigation has become a commonly accepted place and It has even
reached a point where we can talk about the “social desirability” of multi-method
research”.
The thematic focuses of this volume of the Revista Scientific. they clearly
show its different sections, among them: the transformation of teaching
practices; innovative experiences to improve the educational and teaching-
learning processes within the classroom framework; virtual learning
environments, information and communication technologies and the one
related to environmental education. Towards there lead the questions that
cross the diverse articles as testimony of the scientific results that each author
proposes.
In their epistemological approaches, a journey through different
methodologies, methods and techniques is appreciated. It is traveled from
quantitative, qualitative or methodological completions; respecting, as
previously mentioned, the nature of the object of the research carried out.
Finally, the importance of the themes of this issue of the Journal lies in
the reflection on the different edges of the formative processes, in various
contexts and levels of teaching. It also resides in the look at the logics in use,
committed to different methodologies; which must be judged according to the
success achieved in the investigations.
