PAULOS, Catarina. Relational dimensions in biographical research: Reflections based on practice. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.2, pp.329-344.  Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.19732.

This article is a reflection regarding the relational dimensions in the biographical research, based on the author's experience in the context of a PhD in Education, in the specialty of Adult Training. We start with the biographical research in the field of Educational Sciences, as well as the role that this methodology plays in the creation of the sense of the self. Afterwards there is a description of the methodological procedures used in the investigation, such as the biographical interviews with 32 adult educators. In a third moment we reflect on the relational dimensions of biographical research, based on the author's experience in conducting biographical interviews.

Keywords : Biographical research; Biographical interview; Relational dimension; Adult educators.
