Abstract

TELLO, César G.. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2012, vol.07, n.01, pp.53-68. ISSN 1809-4309.

The aim of this article is to analyze the category referred to as “epistemology of educational politics” as an approach that fosters the epistemological monitoring in the researches performed in this field. This category necessarily leads the researcher to develop a meta-analysis of his own investigation. Simultaneously, the approach of the epistemology of educational policies also becomes an adequate analytical framework for the epistemological studies of the field, beyond the use of each researcher for his own epistemological monitoring during the development of his research. This analytical framework is derived from the concern that, in a significant amount of the research on educational policies performed in Latin America, there is an absence of epistemological positioning. The production of knowledge in the field unfolds in a methodological combination that is not based on epistemological perspectives, thus, the resulting investigations are presented as neutral and detached from the social and cultural reality.

Keywords : Educational Policies; Epistemology; Epistemological Monitoring.
