This purpose of this article was to critically assert the contribution of qualitative research in education. The article offers a theoretical exploration of qualitative (qualitative historical background, features, methods and qualitative strengths and weaknesses) and a structural critical analysis on qualitative studies (study purpose, literature review, study design, method, results and discussion, and conclusion). Two qualitative education research paper were selected and analysed with a view to arguing that qualitative research gives more contributions than others. The results of the analysis indicated that qualitative research positively contributes to education research in many ways, including the possibility of direct interaction in gathering the data, and providing in-depth and critical interpretation of meanings

A fenomenologia, para educadores dialógicos, apresenta-se como instrumento essencial na avaliação crítica e na construção das diferentes visões de mundo, as quais conduzem ao ensino. Também possibilita a verificação, o estudo e o esclarecimento dos fenômenos em sala de aula – e para além dela –, bem como os relacionados às perspectivas e orientações do pesquisador no ensino e na educação. Para sua articulação, é aplicável a hermenêutica, como compreensão da realidade, na observação reflexiva/refletiva e descritiva dos fenômenos, com consciência intencional e objeto intencionado. A hermenêutica nasce na fenomenologia, da necessidade do aprender junto, de compreender a realidade, de captar as intenções na sua essência mais pura no contexto dos acontecimentos. A fenomenologia hermenêutica permite a compreensão e a interpretação provindas da imersão do observador no mundo do observado, a aproximação com o fenômeno e a reestruturação da própria visão de mundo. A proposição de uma pesquisa qualitativa para o ensino e a educação, com essas concepções, permite ir ao significante, cuja emersão se dá na aproximação com o fenômeno em si e, fundamentado na compreensão e na interpretação, busca o significado a partir do contexto em que o significante se mostra, com a inserção das visões de mundo do próprio pesquisador como sujeito ativo de sua pesquisa.Palavras-chave: Educação dialógica. Fenomenologia reflexiva. Interpretação dos fenômenos.AbstractThe phenomenology, for dialogic educators, presents itself as an essential tool in the critical evaluation and in the construction of different world views for the teaching. It allows the verification, study and explanation of phenomena in the classroom as well as those related to the prospects and directions of research in education. For its articulation, hermeneutics, as an understanding of reality, is applicable in the reflective/reflected and descriptive observation of phenomena with intentional consciousness and intended object. The hermeneutics was born in phenomenology, by the need to learn together, to understand the reality, to grasp the intentions in its purest essence in the context of events. The hermeneutic phenomenology, allows the understanding and interpretation from the observer’s immersion in the world of the observed, the approximation with the phenomenon and the restructuring of own worldview. The proposition of a qualitative research for teaching, with these conceptions, allows to go to the signifier, emerging in the approximation in the phenomenon itself that, based on understanding and in the interpretation, search the meaning from the context in which the signifier is shown, with the inclusion of worldviews by the own researcher as an active subject of his/her research.Keywords: Dialogic education. Reflective phenomenology. Interpretation of phenomena.ResumenLa fenomenología de educadores dialógicas, se presenta como una herramienta esencial en la evaluación crítica y la construcción de diferentes visiones del mundo, que conducen a la enseñanza.

There is a new area flourishing within qualitative research based on methods using all forms of art: music, theatre, visual arts, and literature. In this paper we present an overview of the basic features of arts-based research; emphasizing on their meaning on education research, on the freedom of expression given to the participants in the research, and on the method the researcher applies to evaluate the collected data. We then present an arts-based research case study where the research questions relate to teachers’ reactions to the use of smartphones by students in the classroom. In this case study, teachers, especially those working on secondary education, are invited to portray their thoughts, emotions, and images that respond to these questions by painting them on a paper using markers. The findings show that the majority of the teachers are negative about the children using their smartphone in the classroom, along with evidence for teachers’ emotional response and how to confront the phenomenon.

Este texto se configura más como un ensayo en relación con un tema, que como un artículo científico académico. En él son tratadas dos cuestiones de fondo relativas a la investigación fenomenológica en educación, destacándose la propia fenomenología, la educación y la investigación. De la fenomenología, se exponen comprensiones acerca de los siguientes asuntos: lo dado, la subjetividad, la intersubjetividad, y la objetividad, que son temas que se entrelazan cuando se busca comprender la educación y la investigación desde el abordaje fenomenológico. Además, también fue explicitado el entendimiento de la educación que subyace en sus procedimientos de pesquisa. Entre éstos se destaca la importancia de la descripción y los posibles modos de registrarla y analizarla.Palabras clave: Fenomenología, Educación, Investigación.Pesquisa fenomenológica em educação: possibilidades e desafiosResumoEste texto se configura mais como um ensaio a respeito do tema, do que como um artigo científico-acadêmico.
