Researchers and technology: a phenomenological approach
Abstract
This is a qualitative investigation that applied the phenomenological approach, with the intention of understanding the lived experiences of the researchers generated by the interaction with the technology towards their research ventures. The instrument used was an open questionnaire made by the researcher and whose content was validated before use. The data extracted from the narratives of the participants point to three main themes. These are the manifested characteristics of the researchers generated by the technology, the challenges faced during the development of the research generated by the technology and the values perceived in the production of the research generated by the technology towards personal and community development.
