RESTE, Carmen Domingues. INTERVIEW'S POTENTIAL IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT - AN INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIENCE. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.4, pp.223-248. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698138927.

This paper is based on a recently completed doctoral thesis that uses social representations as forms of practical knowledge, a knowledge that allows the comprehension of the educational field. The study was developed according to a qualitative methodology and the main data collection instrument was the individual, semi-structured, non-interventive interview. The main subjects were students in a school of lower and higher secondary education ("Ensino Secundário com 3º Ciclo"). The results presented here show us how the mere participation in the data collection process led participants to a self-reflection that can promote both an epistemological transition and an ecological transition, assuming themselves as conscious and active agents of change in school.
