System, feedback, and research: A triptych to take into consideration?
To present an investigative report on how a research has been implemented remains a form of “endangerment” regarding the credibility of research mainly using qualitative methods. Moreover they did not carry out a real cumulativity related to the stakes and questions arising from them. Such a situation reveals a need in terms of analytical tools to which this article proposes to bring an initial proposal. Indeed, on the basis of the initial assumption that every researcher is part of his work environment – which he influences but also influences him in return – the article proposes to consider any research process from the point of view of systemic and to consider the slides realized as being transformations coming from loops of positive feedbacks. In this sense, this article wishes, starting from an actual research experience, to move forward a possible analytical generalization.
