Es posible identificar tres movimientos epistemológicos. El primero apunta la teoría como obstáculo, critica la ineficacia de las generalizaciones científicas, su búsqueda revela más una necesidad del reconocimiento social de la profesión. El segundo se refiere a la teoría como fundamento de cientificidad, que reconoce propiedades esenciales ligadas a la naturaleza de su objeto de estudio y la necesidad de estudiarlas y protegerlas. El último aborda la teoría como transgresión, es decir, como una herramienta de transformación que debe producir cambios indispensables en el desarrollo del campo y considerarla como una forma de liberar las restricciones impuestas por la tradición.]]></p></abstract>

It is possible to establish here three epistemological shifts. The first one points to the theory as an obstacle, criticizing the uselessness of scientific generalizations, and its search reveals more a need for social recognition of the profession. The second one refers to the theory as a foundation of scientificity which recognizes essential properties as linked to the nature of its object of study and the need to study and protect these. The last of them approaches the theory as transgression, that is, as a transformation tool that must produce indispensable changes in the development of the field and consider this a way to release the restrictions imposed by tradition.]]></p></abstract>
