RESEARCH IN EDUCATION: METHODS AND EPISTEMOLOGIES

The book Research in education: methods and epistemologies, by Professor Silvio Ancisar Sanchez Gamboa, fits into the list of essential readings for those dedicated to educational research, the work brings a rich contribution to the process of analysis of academic productions on education in Brazil and points out important problems and suggestions about the methodological, epistemological and philosophical structure of research in education. It establishes a paradigmatic matrix that, in the reviewed edition, was expanded and becomes an epistemological matrix, able to identify the internal aspects that make up the construction of scientific texts resulting from research, as well as external factors that impact on research and scientific production. The work, divided into 10 chapters, leads the reader to a perception of the logical process necessary for scientific production, overcoming the technical bias of the research methodology manuals and raising discussions on epistemological, philosophical and ethical aspects relevant to a liberating Science.
