MAINARDES, Jefferson  y  MARCONDES, Maria Inês. Thoughts on critical ethnography and its implications for educational research. Educ. Real. [online]. 2011, vol.36, n.02, pp.425-446. ISSN 0100-3143.

This paper discusses essential aspects of critical ethnography, highlighting its origins, conceptualization, contributions, and implications for research in education, as well as the challenges that this methodological approach poses to researchers. Particular reference is made to the stages of critical qualitative research developed by Carspecken (1996). The authors argue that the critical ethnography methodology has significant potential to strengthen research in education, since it highlights the need for the establishment of relations with the wider social system and the problematization of issues related to social reproduction, inequality, and oppression, both inside and outside the educational system.
