Olhar, ouvir e escrever: uma etnografia em grupos de pesquisa da educação física brasileira

Abstract

Understanding the scientific communication process of research groups, especially those linked to Universities, has been pointed out by several authors as relevant, by enabling the understanding of the aspects that influence their scientific production and practices. The acquisition, accumulation and use of knowledge by these groups - the result of the individual and collective contributions of linked researchers - are essential for the development of science and graduate courses in Brazil. Based on this context, the present study aims to: understand scientific practices in the field of Physical Education through the relationships that develop in the daily lives of research groups in the sub-areas of Movement Biodynamics and Pedagogical Sociocultural; contextualize the process of constitution and historical development of the object of study and of the investigated sources; analyze the pace of production of Ethnographic research in the field of Physical Education; review the production of knowledge about research groups; understand how this topic has been discussed by the academic community, as well as verify which elements were brought to the debate; ethnographically describe the research process of Orion and Avantin during fieldwork; to analyze the collaboration networks of the research groups investigated, through formal relations of academic orientation and co-authorship networks. It is characterized as a qualitative study, constituting a review research in Chapter I, and Ethnographic in Chapters II and III. As a result, the study highlights the importance of carrying out studies on the academic community, especially in research groups in Physical Education, considering aspects such as: the relationships that researchers establish with their respective research groups; the flow of scientific production; the collaboration networks of researchers; the relationship between productivity and financing; the form of coordination and management of the research groups; the authorship and visibility of scientific production and the process of training researchers linked to these groups.
