Challenges of educational research in light of 30 years of experiences

Abstract

Based on three specific experiences, this text proposes a reflection on the changes in educational research between 1994 and 2022. It is the result of a reflective analysis that seeks to put into dialogue the transformations in the field of research in relation to new challenges. of educational policies. The transition from a positivist vision based on large referential frameworks towards the analysis of social trajectories and the dialogue between knowledges is observed. The investigations present different methodological and technical forms that are the exploratory interview, the survey, the investigation-action and the intercultural investigation. Finally, the text emphasizes the social interactions produced through these investigative works that go from the collection of data (knowledge) to coexistence through dialogue, passing through the recognition of the other.
