The results consist of qualitative elements presented in standardized tables, locating the basic characteristics of these modalities. It suggests guiding questions for discussion, by a specific developed instrument. This tool can be a proposal for a diagnosis on the content of scientific researches, as well as methodological and didactic teaching of research methodology in applied sciences in Physical Education / Sport Science. It is a possibility of progress in studies of scientific methodology, especially regarding the possibility of using different qualitative and quantitative approaches.
