CARBALLO BARCOS, Miriam y GUELMES VALDES, Esperanza Lucía. Some considerations about the variables in educational researches. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.1, pp. 140-150. ISSN 2218-3620.
When dealing with the methodological way of research, the authors had inevitably to refer to de determination of variables. This aspect represents one of the most significant difficulties researchers face when projecting a study and it is the precision on this process what will determine the success of the research. Lack of precision related to the determination of variables has been observed in the thesis carried out to obtain a Master´degree or a Doctorate in the field of education and this affects the validity of results from the methodological point of view. In this respect, the authors considered the necessity of emphasizing in some aspects associated with the topic suggested by advisers and candidates in different postgraduate and post doctorate courses developed at "Félix Varela" Pedagogical University in Villa Clara. Accordingly, the article offers considerations about the concept of variable, definitions and classifications, particularly related to researches developed in the field of education and provides examples to clarify.
