Educational and social times, socio-educational research, networking, mixed methodologies, methodological triangulationAbstract
This paper centers its arguments in the epistemological shift that the so-called mixed methods have provided the Social and Educational Sciences with. It is not just as a way for widening the expectations they generate in socio-educational action and reflection but also in the change processes and social transformation. Based on these assumptions it is introduced the Network of Research Groups OcioGune and the coordinated project “From Educational to Social Times: the Daily Building of the Young Condition into a Network Society” (RESORTES). A practical realization of the potentialities inherent to collaborative work and the multidisciplinary approach provided by shared knowledge: a way, among others, to extend the frontiers of knowledge and its transfer to society by using mixed research methodologies.
