Social and gender research methodology and techniques

Abstract

Social and gender research methodology and techniques The question of gender dimension in a social research methodology has appeared. The first systematization of associated topics is presented on this subject that has been, until now, dis­persed. They are three sections in which some ideas are proposed: 1. Are masculine and feminine dimensions indeed pertinent regarding the methodologi­cal construction of science, in particular so­ cial sciences? 2. Are qualitative and quantitative dimensio­ ns of the social methodology associated with gender? 3. Are the macro dimensions of information and communication —from a cybernetic
perspective— associated in any way with the meaning of gender? The attempt is to systematize my comments on social research and methodology done throug­ hout the years, on the relationships between research methodology and technology, and what is called gender in certain social studies.
