ALTERNATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO THE HYPOTHESIS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL PROJECTION

Abstract

The objective of the article is to provide those interested in the Research Methodology with a reference material, which allows the option of using other alternative instruments to the hypothesis. Observation, bibliographic or documentary analysis, analysis - synthesis, and phenomenology were used in the preparation of the text. The study was carried out at the University of Las Tunas, Cuba, through a three year investigation, which showed the tendency to use the hypothesis as an instrument. The investigation showed that the other instruments are alternatives to the hypothesis.
