LOPEZ MOROCHO, Luis Rodolfo  y  JARAMILLO BAQUERIZO, Christian Paul. The Role of the Inductive Method as a Link Between Educational Theories and Classroom Practices. Sophia [online]. 2025, n.38, pp.51-77. ISSN 1390-8626.  https://doi.org/10.17163/soph.n38.2025.01.

This study addresses the issue of the relationship between theories and pedagogical models, focusing on their connection with educational research and classroom practice. In this context, the main objective is to analyze the role of the inductive method in the relationship between theories and pedagogical models from classroom praxis, using meta-research and reflective critique based on Grounded Theory. Thus, the definitions of theories and pedagogical models, the historical role of the inductive method in educational research, the relationship between inductive reasoning, the main theories and pedagogical models, and the practical implications of these approaches in teaching and learning are explored. The results reveal that the inductive method is essential for formulating hypotheses, theories, and models from empirical observations, providing a solid foundation for educational research. Additionally, it has significantly influenced the development of various pedagogical models, facilitating the integration of theory and practice, which is vital for effective teaching. In conclusion, the study highlights the ongoing relevance of the inductive method in educational research and its potential to improve pedagogical practices, especially with the advancement of technology, which offers new opportunities to enhance data collection and analysis.
