Histórico de formação e consolidação da pesquisa colaborativa em rede: OIIIIPe e lapeade em foco

Abstract

The Laboratory of Research, Studies and Support to Participation and Diversity in Education of the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (LaPEADE/FE/UFRJ) has, for a long time, carried out research about the different themes of inclusion in education. The International Observatory of Inclusion, Interculturality and Pedagogic Innovation (OIIIIPe) is a collaborative research network initiated in 2004 and consolidated in 2016 under LaPEADE’s coordination. In this paper we aim to present a historical mapping out about the partnerships established between LaPEADE and OIIIIPe with regards to the processes of inclusion and exclusion in Higher Education. We also aim to present some preliminary results, at an exploratory level of analysis, of a questionnaire carried out with two managers of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro concerning their conceptions of inclusion, interculturality and pedagogic innovation in the higher education context. Our method is of multiple characteristic, encompassing collaborative, bibliographical, documentary and digitally ethnographical researches. The results point to the challenges of working in a network and the consolidation of the Observatory under the lights of the current Brazilian internationalization policies. Despite the challenges, we were able to identify the strengthening of research network and institutional partnerships; an enhancement in the students and teachers’ academic mobility and in the organization and execution of academic events in four Brazilian states.
