The document defines several key terms related to research methods and learning theories. It includes definitions for concepts like pragmatics, asymmetry, bioethics, constructivism, different types of interviews for research, evaluation, frequency, focus groups, hypotheses, research, justification for research, observation, the research process, theory, validation, and analysis. It also defines different types of learning like learning by conditioning, learning by trial and error, learning by imitation, empirical knowledge, and compared learning.

1. glossary
Pragmatics: is the way in which project elements influence the meaning.
ASYMMETRY: is a statistic needed to know how much our distribution resembles a theoretical
distribution.
BIOETHICS: proposal of a new discipline that would serve as a bridge between two cultures:

HYPOTHESIS: Relational statement between variables that researchers formulated as a reasonable
explanation, but not sure of the problem.
ESEARCH: The term research means to investigate, or seek, when applied to the social sciences,
take the specific connotation of creating knowledge.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE RESEARCH: In addition to the objectives and research questions, it is
necessary to justify the study giving reasons.
OBSERVATION: It consists of the systematic, valid and reliable behaviors or overt behavior.
RESEARCH PROCESS: This is the path that should lead a researcher to get to know something.
THEORY: System concepts and relationships that explains and provides testable predictions of
phenomena.
VALIDATION: Verification by examination and provision of evidence.
Analysis: Thought process which seeks to disintegrate, decompose an object of study.

2. Apprehend: Learning acquired through some taste, some passionate, intensely live experiences to
assimilate them, rebuild them, criticize them, reinvent and incorporate them into everyday life.
Compared learning: Things are perceived as a whole and are analyzed according to their
similarities and differences.
Learning by conditioning: Learning type occurs when two events or situations are associated, so
that the appearance of one 's own reaction produces another.
Learning by trial and error: Type of learning that takes past experiences that have lived with
rightness or wrongness and at similar events are taken into account to fall or not in the same
situation.
Learning by imitation: Type of learning that assumes the existence of a model, example or
demonstration and subsequent copying or repetition thereof.
Empirical knowledge: All that is known and experienced every day through any of the organs and
generates learning.
Epistemology: It is the discipline that studies knowledge, is the theory of knowledge.
Documentary Research: Its primary basis hemerográfico material collection, literature and history
to understand the phenomenon under study.
