What is interesting about this text?
This article helped me to reflect on the true objective of research, the idea is not to apply methods
mechanically, that is, to be automatic researchers, on the contrary, learning to research must lead us to
acquire a methodical attitude. This idea is useful in my work as a teacher because it makes me clear that
in order to find a solution to educational problems, I must look for clarity and order of thought, a
disorganized thought lead me to disorganized teaching practices
