El modelo de enlace en investigación: una alternativa frente a las complejidades del saber contemporáneo

The contemporary practice of knowledge reveals a shift in the research work, which, over the years has been influenced by epistemological and methodological paradigms of models that have separated the science of the community practice. Under the idea that the research work should be grounded in a conception of person and society, through this work, we propose the connection model as an alternative research model. The connection model consists of a "conceptual platform" that is aligned to different theoretical assumptions, investigation methodologies, conceptions of reality, and a sense of intervention in the social and educational field, which base on the principle of simplification and complexity as the center of knowledge construction. Since we consider the connection model as a practice, we present it here, being consistent with its epistemic nature, for discussion and invite readers to relate, dissent and converge, and thus demand important changes in our practice.
