SANTOS, Maria Cecília Pereira dos. The study of the school universe through the voice of the young people: the discussion group. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2009, vol.22, n.1, pp.89-103. ISSN 0871-9187.

This text, centred on a research that took place in a specific school context, wants to stress the importance of using qualitative methodology for research and to show the inherent potencialities of the discussion group for data collection, mainly when the interlocutors are young secondary school students. The present article aims at focusing on some dimensions considered crucial to carry out field work using the discussion group. After a short incursion into some authors whose work has been privileging this technique of collecting information in the study of different socio-educational contexts, we develop a concise reflection about its potentialities and some of its limitations.

Palavras-chave : Discussion group; Youngs; School universe; Experience.
