Abstract

In the context of graduate studies, the numerous demands and pressures that fall on teachers and students in terms of productivity and the methodological direction of research increasingly encourage the creation of collaborative networks that allow not only the exchange of knowledge but also integrate the formative journey of researchers in the context of master’s and doctoral degrees. In this context, we present here a report based on the experience of the course “Critical Research Methodologies. The course results from the confluence of three strands of the so-called Critical Research Methodologies, aiming to contribute to researcher’s education through a dialogical and collaborative learning perspective that enables social transformation. The theoretical approach, as well as the activities applied along course proved essential and demanding to achieve a more comprehensive and critical methodological thinking by promoting the interaction between students and teachers from different countries and articulating research experiences.
