Internationalization in higher education: brazilian teachers in the african space

Abstract

We present methodology of the Investigative-Formative Dialogical Circles, developed in a Research Group of the Federal University of Santa Maria/RS. The aforementioned methodology, inspired by Freire's Culture Circles, takes as its epistemological-political matrix the author's works in dialogue with those of Josso (2004, 2010), presupposing studies of a qualitative nature of the research-training type, since subjects Participate as coauthors throughout the process. We study, from a hermeneutical perspective, the potential of the Dialogical Circles as a research device and permanent self(trans)formation with teachers. The presented methodology contributes significantly to the epistemological deepening of the generating theme for the research, allowing the researcher-leader and co-authors to process for permanent self(trans)formation.
