Abstract

Neste trabalho, fazemos uma reflexão acerca das potencialidades da associação de métodos qualitativos e quantitativos para responder a questões específicas, no sentido de obter maior coerência interna nas pesquisas da área educacional. Temos como foco discutir o modelo Rasch como ferramenta para acessar traços latentes, apresentando um exemplo de como esse modelo pode ser promissor para trabalharmos com medidas, assim como responder a questões de natureza causal e que se remetem à identificação de efeitos e mudanças.

We report a discussion about the importance of combining qualitative and quantitative methods to lead specific questions in educational area. We point out the relevance of this approach in order to improve ours methods and obtain greater internal consistency. Rasch model is presented as a tool to access latent traces. We show how this model can be promising to work with measures, as well as answering questions of causality and questions which intend to identify effects and changes.
