  Context: This article presents the arguments that su­pport the formulation of a research model from the idea of “guided models,” which allows the designing of routes and methodologies for the approaching, formulating, and solving problems in the training of technologists and engineers. Method: The methodology used was based on groun­ded theory, which allows solving problems and de­velop innovative research through theoretical and methodological categories. Results: It was possible to organize the model with a special emphasis on the generation of monitoring and contrasting matrices as a control mechanism and guide for the researcher. Conclusions: The implications of the incorporation of this model are analyzed in relation to the training purposes of engineering and technology professio­nals, articulated through a progression hypothesis as a reference every researcher will be able to get when analyzing and reviewing their own research processes regardless of the methodology developed.

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.
