Abstract
Despite of emergence on the 70’s on the education field and being consolidate around a decade later, the biographical research is still poorly understood by some researchers and not fully accepted by some members of the scientific academy. The explanation most discussed by theorists is related to the positivist perspective that persists even on human sciences. Considering this, the purpose of this article is to elucidate what are the bases of a biographical research from an introductory perspective and why is it important in teacher’s and professor’s formations, presenting suggestion to further studies and interventions on this area. In order to carry out this study, prominent authors on the fields of biographical research and teacher’s formations were highlight and brought to a discussion summarizing their main ideas. This study is justified by the belief that this research may help educators and researchers with their practices in any area of the education field by introducing them this methodology. As results, the article highlights the importance of biographical research on the process of pursing the self-awareness when teaching.
Highlights
On the path of our journeys, on the educational field, as teachers, professors, and students, an interesting fact was brought to our attention: there is no disassociation between being a teacher or professor and our personal life since there is no way of seeing these areas as distant or distinct
Since the objective of this study is to elucidate some points about biograph research and its relationship with teaching formation, the authors regarding the biographical research may be found in other areas of interest that can aid to better understand this movement
With the objective of elucidating the basis of biographical research and discussing the reason why this kind of research is important in teachers’ and professors’ education, we adopted as methodology a qualitative approach (Lüdke & Andre 1986)
Summary
With the objective of elucidating the basis of biographical research and discussing the reason why this kind of research is important in teachers’ and professors’ education, we adopted as methodology a qualitative approach (Lüdke & Andre 1986). To materialize this theoretical study, we have brought to the discussion prominent authors in biographical research and teacher training (Rodrigues & Prado 2015; Freire, 1996; Bahktin, 2010; Josso, 1998) In developing this bibliographical research, the chosen sources are works that deal with the subject matter, which corroborates in the discussion of the specificity of the study topics: the narrative process on the scientific field and the self-writing and its importance in the formative process
