Abstract

This article aims at showing the different stages of research in the social sciences according to the thought of Gaston BACHELARD. We tend to assist all those who want to develop by themselves the different tools of the research process and more specifically, deeply understand its foundations in order to successfully undertake research work. It should be emphasized that the concept of research covers several meanings and our meaning is however more restrictive. First, we describe it as a process, an activity, in other words: when we search, we do an activity In addition, our communication deals with the interconnectivity between the different stages, emphasizing the activity of the Apprentice-researcher and the scientific spirit which are considered as principal and seen in the principles of Bachelard. Finally, insist on the necessity to develop a guide and/or manual in response to the need of Apprentice Researchers
