description Since its inception, the social sciences have tried to legitimate their scientific criteria so that the knowledge generated by social research is deemed valid and reliable. With this objective in mind, a series of techniques, norms, processes, rules and procedures have been elaborated to achieve quality results that certify that social research has been conceived and executed with the necessary rigor to define its principal findings as science. The basic concept needed to satisfy scientific criteria is validity. This paper seeks to explore the principal meanings associated with the term validity in the social scientific literature. We begin by identifying the principal adjectives tied in with the term validity in the bibliographies commonly used to teach methodology in our universities [for example predictive validity, criterion validity, etc.]. We then examine the definitions given for each of these identified terms. Finally, we attempt to synthesize and organize these diverse concepts in a way that we feel is logically and pedagogically coherent

Con este objetivo se han elaborado una serie de técnicas, normas, procesos, reglas y procedimientos para lograr resultados de excelencia y calidad, que certifiquen que la investigación social ha sido concebida y ejecutada con la rigurosidad necesaria para definir sus resultados principales como ciencia. El concepto fundamental para responder a la necesidad de criterios cientí­ficos es la validez. El presente trabajo busca explorar las principales acepciones que presenta este concepto en la literatura cientí­fica social. En un primer momento se busca identificar las diversas adjetivaciones del concepto de validez en la bibliografí­a comúnmente utilizada para enseñar metodologí­a en nuestras universidades [por ejemplo, validez predictiva, de criterio, etc.]. En un segundo momento se examinarán las definiciones para cada uno de los conceptos identificados. Finalmente, en un tercer momento, se buscará sintetizar y/u organizar estos diversos conceptos de una forma que sea lógica y pedagógicamente coherente no disponible 2010-11-30 2022-03-16T18:05:51Z 2022-03-16T18:05:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v01n02a05 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/27459 spa https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v01n02a05/117 application/pdf Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
