REFLEXÕES SOBRE O ATO DE PESQUISAR EM HISTÓRIA DA EDUCAÇÃO

This text was written with the objective of reflecting about the act of researching in the field of History of Education. Methodologically, the whole process was discussed in the weekly meetings of the “Group of Studies and Research in History of Education of Ceara (GEPHEC)”. From the research project until its completion it was possible to cast doubts on the production of knowledge in this field. Through collective reflection about the research on the history of education and its uniqueness, the theoretical and methodological aspects concerning their episteme were discussed. The theoretical references privileged authors such as Bloch (2005), Hobsbawm (1994, 1998), Arrighi (2006), Gatti (2007), Saviani (2005) among others. It is concluded that research in the area of education, from the point of view of history, requires passion and inventiveness combined with ethical and methodological rigor. If one wants to research in this area, one needs to keep in mind that in the very act of researching there is an ongoing learning process that is primarily transdisciplinary. Keywords: educational research; educational history; theoretical and methodological aspects.
