The research was developed framed in the qualitative paradigm, reason why are used the methods of analysis, synthesis, hermeneutics, holistic and dialectic. This has been done with the purpose of understanding the object of study and enabling a better application of techniques and instruments in the development of contextualized researches in the socio-educational field. It is revealed that despite having several epistemological approaches that guide the construction of knowledge, qualitative research emerges as the only possibility to achieve this purpose, based on the lived experience of the researcher in the reality investigated. Therefore, the nature of the research, the object of study, the initial reference frame, the context in which it is being investigated, the objectives and the methodological design that will govern the research process must be taken into account, in order to select the techniques and instruments of the data compilation in the educational social fact since it is energized by the relationships and interrelationships between human beings.
