          Abstract

          En la investigación en ciencias sociales, la discusión acerca de la pertinencia de procesos que permiten asegurar la calidad de los resultados obtenidos, resguardando el rigor en la metodología y el tratamiento de los datos, ha cobrado gran relevancia en la última década. Dentro de la investigación social cualitativa, esta discusión ha estado presente, especialmente al considerar la pertinencia de los criterios de rigor, lo cual reenvía necesariamente a la necesidad de revisar los fundamentos epistemológicos que sostienen las prácticas llevadas a cabo en los procesos investigativos. El presente artículo recorre analíticamente distintas propuestas actuales respecto de procesos de rigor en la investigación social cualitativa, como una forma de insistir en la necesidad de ser coherentes con la opción epistemológica y metodológica de este tipo de investigación. Se propone repensar el lugar del investigador y sus subjetividades como una clave en el desafío de otorgar rigor y calidad a los procesos y resultados de investigación.

          Translated abstract

          In social science research, discussion about the appropriateness of processes that assure the quality of results, safeguarding rigor in methodology and treatment of data, has gained increasing relevance in the past decade. Qualitative social research has not been absent from this discussion; considering the appropriateness of criteria for rigor necessarily entails revision of the epistemological principals that sustain practices used in research processes. This article looks analytically at various current proposals regarding rigor processes in qualitative social research in order to demonstrate the need for coherence and pertinence in the epistemology and methodology in this kind of research. We propose to rethink the place of the researcher and his/her subjectivity as a key to providing rigor and quality in the processes and results of research.

            Understanding Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research

            The use of reliability and validity are common in quantitative research and now it is reconsidered in the qualitative research paradigm. Since reliability and validity are rooted in positivist perspective then they should be redefined for their use in a naturalistic approach. Like reliability and validity as used in quantitative research are providing springboard to examine what these two terms mean in the qualitative research paradigm, triangulation as used in quantitative research to test the reliability and validity can also illuminate some ways to test or maximize the validity and reliability of a qualitative study. Therefore, reliability, validity and triangulation, if they are relevant research concepts, particularly from a qualitative point of view, have to be redefined in order to reflect the multiple ways of establishing truth.
