Trans-Formation Research and marxist critical in information and knowledge production

Abstract

This article, of a methodological nature, intends to expose the methodological perspective of the research developed in the thesis “Subjective dimension of school inclusion processes in the Trans-Formation Research movement”, which composes the list of critical research that has been carried out by GADS (Group Teaching Activity and Subjectivity) of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo and seeks to emphasize Marxist criticism as a necessary principle to any research that proposes transformative and critical. The path of Trans-Formation Research is described, which is based on the historical-dialectical materialist method and category approach, considering that the presence of criticism, especially marxist-based criticism, is essential to creation of strategies for the research information and knowledge production. This article highlighted the category Subjective Dimension of Reality and the perspective of Critical Incompleteness in the Trans-Formation Research movement, as well as the strategies created in the research process that most impacted the critical movement of research-form-transform.
