- Tecnología: resultado del saber que permite producir artefactos o procesos, modifica el medio, incluyendo las plantas y animales, para generar bienestar y satisfacer las necesidades humanas.
- Technology.- It is the sum up of the knowledge that allows people to produce artifacts or processes by modifying the environment to create welfare and satisfaction of human needs.
- Technology is neither good nor bad.
- Ethic judgment is not applicable to technology, but how it is used.
- Technology differs from Science and Art:
science art technology = to understand reality = to enjoy reality mentally = to transform reality

1. Problematic Situation
- The necessary condition is the state of the research object (set of
phenomena, fact and deficient or misunderstood process), depending on an
adequate approximation and understanding about reality by the researcher.
Also depends on:
- Reflexive and analytical capacity of the researcher to assure better
outcomes and quality.
- Referencing and scenarios.
2. Research Problem
- The problem is the abstraction, by using concepts, theories and
scientific/tech laws of the field under study, about the deficiencies,
facts or processes, evidences or probabilities, that limit or impede
reaching a desirable and feasible state.
- It is formulated as a proposition, because it is difficult to make
inferences as a question.
- It is the external performance of the object that makes the subject
explain it.
- The major accuracy in the problem, the major possibility to have
success in solving the problem.
3. Research Object
- It is the part of reality that is abstracted through a systemic
gathering of the relationships among the elements of the problem.
- Its characterization is done by means of particular and specific
concepts, and are deducted from the problem as it is being defined.
- During the process: the input comprises the -exogenous elements–the
output comprises endogenous elements-.
- The interior of process –that is, the interacting mechanism among the
intervening elements- couldn’t be observed.
- Unknown facts must exist beyond the observed facts. Science tries to
discover such subjacent elements.
4. Specific Research Field
- The specific research field is a part of the object, where the
researcher produces innovations or inventions.
- Here, the researcher only abstracts the properties and attributes of
the object to be systematized, changed, or explained.
- This is the field under study, where the researcher presupposes to
reach the desired objective.
5. Research Objective
- It is the purpose or shifted situation of problem once human
intervention is concluded.
- It is formulated in infinitive, according to Bloom’s Taxonomy, for
example.
- The objective leads the whole research work, and must be based on a
theory, law, or principle to support the specific research field.
- It must be clear, coherent, and achievable.
- The research tasks, which are derived from the objective, come from
Theory-Conceptual Model.
