Resumen

¿Qué implica una precisa lectura de la realidad? La principal tesis de este artículo es que la modalidad de aprendizaje de acción, reflexión, consulta, y estudio motiva a los investigadores a atender por lo menos seis “interacciones” las cuales, juntas, funcionan para facilitar lecturas colaborativas progresivamente sintonizadas a la realidad. Debido a estas interacciones, esta modalidad de aprendizaje en acción ayuda a eliminar presunciones deshabiltadoras o dañinas y las ideas correspondientes, haciendo posible descubrir y retener presunciones habilitadoras y beneficiosas. Haciéndolo así, se resuelve el duradero problema de cómo cultivar objetividad en la búsqueda de la verdad.
