THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH-RESEARCH RELATIONS: THE CASE OF PROFESSIONAL LIFE NARRATIVES

Abstract

This paper addresses a fundamental issue in the studies carried out from a constructionist and narrative perspective: the relationship between researchers and researched. Our contribution is based on the development of nine microethnographies, in which the biographical dimension had a special consideration, with nine primary school teachers. This has allowed us to: a) highlight the importance of explaining the relationship between researchers and those participating in the research; b) examine the strengths and weaknesses of each relationship type and mode; c) point to the complexity and dynamism of the elements underlying relationships; d) open way of inquiry that can help deepen our understanding about the relational aspects involved in the social construction of knowledge.
