CHAPTER 4 METHODOLOGY 4.2.2 Primary data sources Primary data sources are considered as the collection of facts that are gathered from the original sources and are collected especially for the research problem. Quantitative research, which covers the information collected direct from people through questionnaires, or qualitative research, which covers the information collected direct from people through interviews. 4.2.2.1 Quantitative research When quantitative methods are applied measure characteristics or variables that can take numerical values and must be described to facilitate the search of possible relations by means of the statistical analysis. Here the random, quasi-experimental techniques experimental, tests of pencil and paper, studies of sample are used "objective", etc. Within all the analyses of the quantitative methods we can find a characteristic based on the positivism like epistemological source, that is the emphasis in the precision of the procedures for the measurement, as well as the relation clear between the concepts and the indicators with which they are moderate, to avoid the confusions that the use of a dark language generates, that in spite of being seductive, is difficult to verify its veracity (Walle 1997). Another predominant characteristic of the quantitative methods is the subjective selection of indicators (through concepts and variables) of certain elements of processes, facts, structures and people. These elements do not conform in their totality, the processes or the people (the debate between the pro-quantitative who never see an integrated phenomenon, but always joint is derived there from particles of the phenomena related to the observation, and the pro-qualitative that cannot perceive the generated elements that share the phenomena).

CHAPTER 4 METHODOLOGY Nevertheless, the new quantitative techniques, like the analysis of social networks (e.g. Scott, 2000), or the history of events, is to a certain extent able to surpass these limitations. The previous thing is related to one third characteristic also born of the positivism that is the search of the generalization. 4.2.2.2 Qualitative research Consists of detailed descriptions of situations, events, people, interactions and behaviours that are observable. It incorporates what the participants say, his experiences, attitudes, beliefs, thoughts and reflections as they are expressed by themselves and not as one describes them. As Walle (1997) states, one of the most important characteristics of the qualitative techniques of investigation is that they try to catch the sense that the people give their acts, to their ideas, and to the world that surrounds to them. They are considered between the qualitative methods to the ethnography, the studies of case, the interviews to depth, the participant observation and the investigation-action. One first characteristic of these methods is pronounced in its strategy to try to meet the facts, processes, structures and in its totality, and not through the measurement of some of its elements (Walle 1997). The same strategy already indicates the use of procedures that give a unique character to the observations. The second characteristic is the use of procedures that make the observations in the time and different cultural circumstances less comparable, that is to say, this method looks for except the generalization and more approaches the phenomenology and the symbolic interactions. One third important strategic characteristic for this work (since it feels bases for the method of the participative investigation), talks about to the paper of the investigator David Mashhadigholam Rojo 41
