This article focuses on the analysis of the processes of heterobiographization as an important dimension of biographical research in education and as a source of knowledge for the researcher. Heterobiographization is understood as learning obtained from listening and interpreting the narratives of the other's experience. This article is based on a biographical research carried out in 2017 with students from a Parisian university, as part of the post-doctoral studies developed at the Sorbonne Paris 13 University. It is a qualitative research, based on a socio-historical-anthropological analysis of the relationship between the subjects and the world (Ferrarotti, 2014) and on the use of an hermeneutical approach for the interpretation of the interviews (Delory-Momberger, 2014; Ricoeur, 1983), carried out with four students: two men (one from Master I and another from Master II) and two women (one from Master II and one PhD student). As results, two types of learning are identified for the researcher: related to the construction of the ethical posture of valuing the knowledge of the other and to the reflexivity regarding the relevance of the research question. As a conclusion, it is identified that the experienced heterobiographization process contributes to the researcher's biographization. The movement between heterobiographization and biographization ha a formative dimension and produces important knowledge within the scope of biographical research in education.

Keywords : Biographical research; Heterobiographization; Biographization; apprenticeship for the researcher.
