Abstract

The article presents a scientific literature review of proposals that have emerged with the epistemological dominance of positivism, reductionist and mechanistic worldview.These alternatives are:

  • The complexity theory that exceeds the reductionist, mechanistic and dichotomous thinking, and allows to analyze the reality from different perspectives, approaches and knowledge, and catalyzes the transformation and changing situations.
  • The systems theory , which proposed that the change actually comes from the selforganizing and emergent systems.
  • The Participatory Methodologies raising various techniques that promote dialogue between academic knowledge and social knowledge (popular).
  • Integrative approaches and decolonization thoughts that transcend and go beyond positivism as modes of knowledge production based on subject-subject relations, rather than subject-object relations.
