IARED, Valéria Ghisloti. Contributions of post-qualitative research to the field of environmental education studies. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2019, vol.57, n.54, e16995.  Epub Feb 10, 2020. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2019v57n54id16995.

This theoretical essay aims to analyze the theoretical-methodological proximity of post-qualitative research and environmental education research. Eighteen articles based on post-qualitative research were analyzed, selected from three sources: 1) The ERIC database - Education Resources Information Center, 2) a special edition of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education and 3-) references to texts found in those articles. Based on the analysis of those studies, seven aspects, considered parallel to the reflections and concerns in the environmental education research field, were identified: materialization of the discourse, the ontological turn, overcoming of the subject-object dichotomy, ideological postures in research, flat ontology, representation of collected and analyzed data, and theoretical-methodological reflections and innovations. The article concludes that, depending on the research question, there are possibilities for the appropriation of post-qualitative research in the field of environmental education.

Keywords : Post-critical; New materialism; Post-human; Ecological epistemologies.
