ROSISTOLATO, Rodrigo  e  PRADO, Ana Pires do. Ethnography in educational research: training the scientific point of view. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.44, pp.57-75. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n44.005.

During 2011, we worked on research about the distribution of educational opportunities in the city of Rio de Janeiro. At first, the investigation was guided exclusively by sociological problems, and it was rebuilt methodologically when we proposed that all researchers involved in the application of questionnaires work in pairs and make ethnographic observations. This research was conducted in 51 residences in Rio de Janeiro. In this article, we will discuss the production of ethnographic narratives in educational research. Our foci are the particularities of the anthropological point of view and the specifics of the collective writing of ethnographical texts, traditionally an individual activity. We will describe the steps of the new methodology proposed and its main results: expanding the researchers' capacity for relativizing, for understanding and valuing the natives' point of view of the distribution of educational opportunities and for building an anthropological perspective of educational themes.
