RESEARCH TEACHERS/TEACHER-RESEARCHERS IN SOCIOLOGY: A LOOK FROM THE DUALITY SUBJECTIVITY-OBJECTIVITY

This article is the product of the reflection about the approach to our object of study, taking into consideration our professional and work profile: / we are sociologists-teachers who want to study the changes on their own practices, from the inclusion of digital technologies in the teaching-learning process. Our stance as teachers who want to understand their own practices requires epistemological explanations in building and approaching our object of study and we find that the interpretative problematic from the duality subjectivity-objectivity is a theoretical tension that serves us as a reference for those precisions. In this context, the following article intends to integrate, from a theoretical frame, an analytic look at the task of research and a look from the research process development, by reflecting on the role of the researchers that are close to the object of study they research about. The presentation will start with the theoretical contributions of Anthony Giddens and Pierre Bourdieu, two of the representatives of the current social theory, referring to overcoming the dichotomy subjectivity-objectivity and the place of the researcher in knowledge production. Then, from the phenomenological categories of Alfred Shutz, we intend to reflect on the dual role as sociologists-teaches facing this problematic, to clarify how the subjectivity should not actually be fought but it is a constituent part of our object of study and our being in the world.
