Abstract

The searches for creative and holistic solutions favorable to the resolution of complex problems that underlie an interconnected world governed by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have stimulated the emergence of approaches with an emphasis on the integration of knowledge that represents scientific thought in the age of knowledge. This article aims to analyze the foundations of scientific thought in the age of knowledge and its practical implications in research. It is based on the integrationist epistemological approaches to research (Connectivism, System and Complex Thought) proposed according to the theoretical criteria of Bohórquez (2020), Bohórquez, Cabarcas and Ávila (2020), Martínez (2012), Fidias (2012), Corbetta (2010), Bernal (2010), Hurtado (2010), Barreras (2010), Siemens (2004) among others. It represents the product of a qualitative - interpretive investigation of documentary review, guided by methods and techniques inherent to documentary analysis and hermeneutics. The results warn that, in the era of knowledge, an integrationist scientific thought has been configured, based on the resignification of the concept of social science, which assigns a holistic character to research. It is concluded that the adoption of this thought has originated a set of practical implications in the research processes and methods that currently has the support of the world scientific community, among them the following stand out: 1. Plurality of methods, 2. Complementarity of methods, 3. Synergistic work (cooperation, collaboration) between researchers, scientific communities and research centers; and, 4. Organization of the investigative work in plans, programs and projects.
