Análisis de los estilos de Orientación en Equipos Psicopedagógicos
Abstract
After considering the differences between qualitative and quantitative research paradigms, we consider that the dichotomy between both is overcome and their complementary character is a must. Thus, taking an ethnographic paradigm as a starting point, and using a case study design, we present an exploratory study on the counseling “style” of 4 Psycho-pedagogical Teams, that is to say, the usual way of specification of a theoretical Counseling Model, a cross-check of the aim, the activity and the results in each counseling model that we base on 3 dimensions (theoretical basis of intervention, organizative structure and development). In order to find out the basic elements of this counseling activity, we carry out a content analysis via the text analysis program SPAD-T.
