SOUZA, Ruth Catarina C. R. de  and  MAGALHAES, Solange Martins Oliveira. Implications of the methodological option for historical and dialectical materialism in the scientific production of the brasilian midwest. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.1, pp.145-166.

This article presents the results of an analysis of the scientific production on teachers, from 2006 to 2007, in Postgraduate Programs in Education in the Midwest. Based on Historical and Dialectical Materialism (HDM), it was produced by REDECENTRO - a Research Network on teachers in the Midwest. It sets out to analyze what is produced based on the option for HDM as a method, as well as its relations with the qualitative approach, the objectives and the conclusions reached. A lack of clarity between the significance of method and the approach of the study, as well as theoretical and methodological dispersion were identified. As for the goals related to HDM, there is need to see to it that the objectives are more than mere compliance with a formality, and that there be comprehensive goals, related to the same epistemological, ontological, and gnosiological presuppositions reclaimed in the conclusions of the studies.

Keywords : Educational Research; Teacher Formation; Method.
