Subjective dimension of informants as social actors in qualitative research. Some evidence

Abstract

The study aims to interpret through two qualitative studies aimed at delving into the phenomena by investigating directly from the perspective of those who report, these becoming social actors or key informants in phenomenological investigations, becoming the center of the investigation because of their experiences. They favor by becoming key to exploration by providing information about the element of study. It was bibliographically based on Alejo and Osorio (2019), Larsen and Adu (2022), Mora Ramírez (2022) and Soto (2023). The phenomenological method was used and, in the investigations, taken as evidence; the sample was 13 social actors of both sexes, working as classroom teachers, secondary, diversified and university education. Instruments to collect information: biographical-narrative and in-depth interview. What is revealed from its subjectivity to describe that reality, allows qualitative researchers to approach and understand in depth the social “reality” to be studied.
