PAIDER: a hybrid model for data constitution and analysis in educational research
Keywords:
Methodological hybridization, Data triangulation, Mixed methods, Theoretical essayAbstract
This critical-propositional essay presents the PAIDER model, a theoretical framework for data constitution and analysis grounded in methodological hybridization, aimed at research in education. Based on a critical epistemological perspective, the model emerges as a response to methodological fragmentation and to the limitations of traditional approaches — exclusively quantitative or qualitative — often used in isolation in educational research. Inspired by the logic of triangulation, but extending it beyond technical validation, PAIDER proposes a dialogical articulation between structured instruments (such as Likert-type scales) and associated open-ended questions, integrated through a logic of cognitive progression guided by six analytical verbs: Produce, Evaluate, Integrate, Assign, Explain, and Recall. The analysis unfolds in three interdependent stages: descriptive-relational, exploratory-textual, and analytical hybridization, promoting a critical fusion between quantitative and qualitative data, while embracing epistemological, methodological, pedagogical, and ethical implications, and emphasizing a commitment to credibility, transparency, and contextualization of results.Downloads
