Abstract

The set of problems emerging from the current text try to answer two kinds of needs: first, to amplify the “research-action” concept to the new “research-action/training” concept; secondly, to demonstrate that the former extensiveness can be achieved through the creation of a methodological complementarity regimen between some research-action/training principles and other Grounded Theory typical procedures.

Why must we consider the former preoccupations? Because the self-training characteristic of the Research-Action Process is too much intervenient concerning research decisions, even if many times we don’t have the exact notion of them, and because the researchers inferential practices subjectivity of their methodologies don’t allow correct interpretations of the reality.

Taking into account the analysis of a research process in progress, we try to demonstrate: first, the one who is researching and performing establishes, not only to himself but also to the others who works with, a training process that interacts with the adequate interpretation of the reality; secondly, the data analysis hermeneutic techniques concerning the Grounded Theory
methodologies lighten the former training processes and place the researchers closer to the effective reality.
