SOSIUK, Ezequiel  y  MAURO, Agustín. ¿Cómo investigar una práctica social? Los lugares híbridos entre el laboratorio y el campo. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2023, n.69, pp.4-4. ISSN 1851-1716.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.33255/3469/1644.

In this article, we ask: how do scientists design new places to investigate social practices? To answer this question, we draw on contributions from Science, Technology and Society Studies and the Philosophy of Science. In particular, we inquire into how the different places of research condition the processes of knowledge production. We focused on the studies that analyzed the field as a place of research and how it is articulated with laboratory practices. Although several studies have analyzed research in the field in Argentina, few have analyzed the specific characteristics of scientific field practices and how they allow the transformation of social practices. Taking as primary sources several scientific publications, our case study is the neuroscientific research that uses electroencephalograms (EEG) in classrooms. We argue that it is the hybrid places, between the field and the laboratory, that allow to investigate social practices.
