A epistemologia da pesquisa interventiva em educação e seus reflexos na pesquisa-ação e pesquisa participante

Abstract

It analyzes the foundations of interventional research in education in stricto sensu graduate education, professional modality, posing the question of the nature of research based on the classification of sciences into theoretical, productive and practical, based on Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Francis Bacon, Descartes et al., understanding that the nature of research is closely linked to this classification. We define basic research as the production of new knowledge. Applied research uses knowledge from basic research in education to produce artifacts and innovations in social and educational technology, while practical research aims to change the problem-situation verified, theorizing the relationship between action and change. It takes on the terminology of interventional research and conceptualizes and differentiates the formative intervention from the prescriptive one, as an object of study, exemplifying from the research-action and participant research.
