Resumen

El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la presencia del paradigma pragmático en la literatura científica y su reciente consolidación como fundamento epistemológico de los métodos mixtos o enfoque mixto en la investigación social con la finalidad de contribuir con la difusión de las bases epistémicas que le brindan soporte a la investigación mixta. La metodología utilizada fue larevisión sistematizada de libros y documentos indexados en las bases de datos Web of Science(WOS) y Scopus mediante el uso de palabras clave relacionadas directamente con la pregunta de investigación. Para cumplir con los criterios de inclusión preestablecidos, fueron analizados 24artículos, 6 libros y 2 capítulos de libros publicados entre 2007 y 2023. Los principales resultadosreflejan un consenso entre los autores respecto a la preeminencia del pragmatismo como sustento del enfoque mixto. Las conclusiones confirman el reconocimiento universal del paradigma pragmático en la investigación social con métodos mixtos.
