VASQUEZ, Gabriela Cruz  and  ARENA, Adriana Pastorello Buim. Universes of knowledge. Reflections on narrative research in education. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.2, pp.187-202. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.11937.

This text aims to offer the reader some notes about concepts involving the theme of narrative research in education and in qualitative research. When discussing this mode of doing research, there are always doubts about its validity, generated by a strong positivist tradition that prevails since the birth of the scientific method. With the intention to deepen the discussion on the nature of qualitative research, of an educational and narrative nature, this work is based on literary analysis and on authors who problematize the terms experience, time, space, word and narrative research. A reflection on the methodological qualities of narrative research is made in the conclusions, as a qualitative methodology that makes possible a rich generation of data for understanding and interpreting deeper levels of the complex human subjectivity and of the educative practice.

Keywords : Experience; Time-Space; Word; Narrative research.
