Aspectos da modernização do ensino superior brasileiro e crítica ao método científico: aproximações com o processo de naturalização da pesquisa em educação

Abstract

The central theme of this paper is the production of scientific knowledge in higher education. Our main aim is to put forward a questioning trajectory on the foundations of the process of knowledge in education, examining, at this moment, the object's historical construction. This approach is performed departing from the discussion of elements of the Florestan Fernandes and Miriam Cardoso analysis on the process of production of scientific knowledge in Brazil.
