This work is the result of a research conducted on the academic production of seven institutions organized in Network. This article presents a clipping with regard to data from research on teachers who joined the dialectic approach of the Post-Graduate Education, Faculty of Education, Goiás Federal University, in the period 2008-2009. It is a "research on research pieces" conducted from a dialectic perspective. We developed a meta-analysis of production, putting into focus the issue of quality, from its epistemological and historical perspective. The group seeks to understand whether and how production expresses the concept of quality; if it promotes the marketing quality for education, sustaining the hegemonic thinking and the active consensus, or if it promotes social quality in the face of neoliberal educational policies, structuring the thought against hegemonic concepts. Two categories are articulated in the analysis: method and teaching ideas. We conclude that a portion of the affiliates works to dialectical historical materialism, properly developing the method and the pedagogical ideas, that is a posture which reflects the perspective of emancipation. These are propositional studies that assume academic research as praxis, lying against active consensus and the establishment of hegemony. Another part of the analyzed crop has epistemological problems, even being affiliated with epistemological critical base, they did not adequately develop the method and they built the pedagogical ideas in the neoliberal perspective, which holds the hegemonic perspective and the active consensus in knowledge production.

Keywords : academic production; teachers; social quality; active consensus.
