Methodological possibilities of research from the categories of historical and dialectical materialism

Abstract

The article reflects methodological possibilities of research from the categories of historical and dialectical materialism in the field of educational research. In addition to the literature review, we bring to the dialogue our research experiences in master's, doctoral and postdoctoral courses at two public universities: UnB and UFT that are articulated through the Rides research network and their research groups and researchers. Previously the writings point out how much one cannot "frame" the Method or even seek manuals to "fit" any scientific research, but outline possibilities – provided that, if we seek the theoretical deepening in the laws and ontological categories in Marx – formulating a superanceand revolutionary synthesis with the multiple determinations and faces of reality seized in their smallest parts,  linked to totality, materialized in the derived categories, appreaming Marxist dialectics as one of the possible approaches to interpretation of socio-historical reality, and educational reality.
