In recent times, Social Sciences research has been characterized by the use of varied methodologies. In order to recognize the qualitative, quantitative and mixed strategies used in the Social Sciences with emphasis on the non-experimental ones, a systematic bibliographic review-type study was carried out through the methods, content analysis and hermeneutics. Among the main findings is the quantitative-qualitative approach as a complementary methodological alternative based on the use of multi-methods and techniques that seeks greater control of the variables and correction of biases inherent to each method through mutually validating triangulation. There is a close relationship between social and pedagogical research, evidenced by the singularities of the latter: exteriority of social facts, complexity of human phenomena, influence of time, difficulty in establishing projections, and dialectical transfer of values in the research process.

Keywords : Social research; qualitative; quantitative and / or mixed methodologies; pedagogical research.
