Pluralisme méthodologique et stratégies multi-méthodes en gérontologie

  • Richard Lefrançois (a1)
Abstract

The debate regarding paradigms and investigation methods is at least partially responsible for the fragmentation of gerontologocial knowledge. First, the article presents arguments in favour of methodological pluralism as a research designed to facilitate the integration of knowledge and innovation. The main goal of methodological pluralism is to reconcile different approaches by combining a number of observation and data-collection scenarios within the same study. After presenting the arguments in favour of methodological pluralism and identifying the integration methods that can be applied to study results already obtained, the author proposes a taxonomy of multiple research strategies that may be utilized in the same study. He specifically discusses: pseudo-triangulation, parallel and sequential triangulation, composite methods, mixed methods and the multi-method approach.

La querelle à propos des paradigmes et des méthodes d'investigation a contribué, du moins en partie, au morcellement des connaissances gérontologiques. Cet article présente, dans un premier volet, des arguments en faveur du pluralisme méthodologique conçu comme une perspective de recherche apte à favoriser l'intégration du savoir et l'innovation. Le pluralisme méthodologique ambitionne notamment de concilier différentes approches en fusionnant au sein d'une même étude plusieurs scénarios d'observation et de collecte de données. Après avoir présenté les arguments en faveur du pluralisme méthodologique et identifié les méthodes d'intégration s'appliquant aux résultats d'étude déjà obtenus, l'auteur propose une taxinomie des stratégies de recherche multiples pouvant être déployées dans le cadre d'une même étude. Il distingue: la pseudo-triangulation, les triangulations parallèle et séquentielle, les méthodes composites, les méthodes mixtes et l'approche multi-méthodes.
