ALTMICKS, Alfons Heinrich. Main research paradigms for the area of education in Brazil. Contrapontos [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.384-397. ISSN 1984-7114. https://doi.org/10.14210/contrapontos.v14n2.p384-397.
This article aims to provide the rudiments of the main paradigmatic axes used in Brazilian research in education, specifically in terms of their methodological implications. The tone adopted was purposely didactic, because it is still necessary to circumscribe the epistemological discourse to the level of knowledge pertaining to the wealth of resources in Pedagogy and Licentiate degree.
