Objetivo: identificar o perfil e a produção científica dos bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa do Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq) da área da Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde (RMS) no triênio 2013-2015. Metodologia: estudo descritivo e quantitativo. A pesquisa foi realizada no mês de setembro de 2017, utilizou-se formulário estruturado para coleta de dados a partir do currículo Lattes. Resultados: foram identificados 23 bolsistas, 91,5% do sexo feminino, 78,2% da categoria 2 e 43,5% da área da Enfermagem. Dentre o total de periódicos publicados 8 foram sobre a RMS com predominância de Qualis B1 e B4. Quanto às orientações sobre a RMS 23 foram realizadas no último triênio. Conclusão: é necessário estimular pesquisas sobre à RMS objetivando o conhecimento e valorização dessa modalidade educativa, bem como estimular a sua importância nos serviços de saúde. Estudos dessa natureza são necessários para nortear novas pesquisas.Descritores: Academias e Institutos; Internato não Médico; Pesquisa Científica e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico.PROFILE OF THE PRODUCTIVITY SCOLARSHIPS OF THE MULTIPROFESSIONAL HEALTH RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN THE TRIENNIUM 2013-2015Objective: to identify the profile and scientific production of research productivity fellows from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq) of the Multiprofessional Health Residence (RMS) in the triennium 2013-2015. Methodology: descriptive and quantitative study. The research was conducted in September 2017, using a structured form for data collection from the Lattes curriculum. Results: 23 scholarship recipients were identified, 91.5% female, 78.2% from category 2 and 43.5% from the Nursing area. Among the total of published journals, 8 were on RMS with a predominance of Qualis B1 and B4. About the orientations about RMS, 23 were conducted in the last three years. Conclusion: it is necessary to stimulate research on RMS aiming at the knowledge and valuation of this educational modality, as well as stimulating its importance in health services. Studies of this nature are needed to guide new research.Descriptors: Academies and Institutes; Internship not Medical; Scientific Research and Technological DevelopmentPERFIL DE LOS BOLSISTAS DE PRODUCTIVIDAD DEL PROGRAMA DE RESIDENCIA MULTIPROFESIONAL EN SALUD EN EL TRIENIO 2013-2015Objetivo: identificar el perfil y la producción científica de los becarios de productividad en investigación del Consejo Nacional de Investigación (CNPq) del área de la Residencia Multiprofesional en Salud (RMS) en el trienio 2013-2015.

Resource sharing has become an absolute necessity for modern scientific research because of the increasing expense and complexity of instruments, and the ever changing funding paradigm which often requires sharing of major instrumentation resource across multiple disciplines. Many universities and even large companies have set up centralized facilities to serve researchers from different departments, divisions and units to minimize expenses and maximizing usage.Just in the materials research area alone, it is estimated that there are more than 500 mid-size facilities existing nationwide, as reported in 2005 by the Committee on Smaller Facilities of National Research Council. Resource sharing is also common in large research groups, between Principal Investigators, as well as in corporate/industrial laboratories.

In 2002, the National Research Council (NRC) released Scientific Research in Education, a report that proposed six principles to serve as guidelines for all scientific inquiry in education. The first of these principles was to “pose significant questions that can be investigated empirically” (p. 3). The report argued that the significance of a question could be established on a foundation of existing theoretical, methodological, and empirical work. However, it is not always clear what counts as a significant question in educational research or where such questions come from. Moreover, our analysis of the reviews for manuscripts submitted to JRME1 suggests that some practical, specific guidance could help researchers develop a significant question or make the case for the significance of a research question when preparing reports of research for publication.

This chapter examines issues surrounding the design of research in educational technology and teacher knowledge. The National Research Council proposed a set of principles for education research that has not been applied consistently to teacher knowledge and education technology research. Although some studies address reliability of measures, few adequately address validity or threats to validity or the trustworthiness of their designs or findings. Special attention is given to the need for explicit connections between the study purpose and guiding theoretical frameworks and previous research. This volume provides examples of studies addressed these design issues and includes a checklist of questions and additional resources to aid future researchers in developing rigorous, scientific research.

En este artículo se trata de situar una cierta genealogía de algunos de los movimientos que se vinculan en torno a la denominada perspectiva post-cualitativa en investigación. Estos movimientos han ido surgiendo como respuesta a los intentos, desde la década de los años 90 del pasado siglo, de positivizar, disciplinar y objetivar la investigación cualitativa bajo estándares y rúbricas que fijan los caminos a seguir tanto en la formación de investigadores como en la conceptualización y la práctica de la investigación. Esta tendencia, en el caso de Estados Unidos, que es donde está adquiriendo una mayor relevancia, queda reafirmada cuando en 2002 el NationalResearch Council publica un documento en el que se establece cómo ha de ser la investigación científica en educación: replicable, generalizable, empírica y preferentemente experimental. Decisión que forma parte de una gobernabilidad neoli beral que pretende establecer una visión unificada respecto a lo que ha de ser la realidad y el papel que la investigación ha de jugar en este propósito. Este movimiento, que se nutre de diferentes referentesy que se proyecta en varias direcciones cuestiona con argumentos la fundamentación onto-espistemológica-metodológica y ética que rige este intento normativizador, al tiempo que rehúye la explicitación de modos de hacer investigación que predetermine los sentidos abiertos e imprevisibles de todo proceso de indagación y plantea otras maneras de conceptualizar lo que un proceso de investigación puede llegar a ser. This article aims to establish the genealogy of the strands that are linked to the so-called post-qualitative approach in research. These strands have emerged as a response to the attempts, since the 1990s, to positivize and objectify qualitative research by applying to it standards and rubrics which seek to define researcher training and the conceptualization and practice of research. This tendency, in the case of the United States where it is acquiring great relevance, is reaffirmed in 2002 when the National Research Council publishes a document that establishes how scientific research in education should be: replicable, generalizable, empirical and preferably experimental. This decision is part of a neoliberal form of governance that seeks to establish a unified vision of what reality should be and the role that research should have in this reality. The post-qualitative approach, which feeds on differentreferents and projects itself in various directions, questions the onto-espistemological-methodological and ethical foundations that drive this normative attempt, at the same time as it avoids ways of doing research that predetermine the open and unpredictable meanings to which processes of inquiry can lead. In doing so, this study proposes other ways of conceptualizing what a research process may become.

Abstract This paper links the history of the Canadian Commission of Conservation (1909-1921) to the creation of the National Research Council through the fight between the two organizations for federal funds in scientific research. In my view, the Commission of Conservation (or COC) was abolished in 1921 because it persisted in advocating conservation, an expression of early 20th century environmentalism, in a world which was no longer interested in this issue.
