This article aims to present and discuss the conception of the teaching methodology for thematic research, through the reading of Freirean epistemology, as a pedagogical possibility for a transformative education. Referring to the work of Paulo Freire and theorists of Freirean lineage, the configuration of this thematic approach is supported by dialogism and the problematization of the situations experienced by students through the investigation of a generating theme, based on the syllabus and knowledge referring to a given reality. Such investigation allows the subjects to dialogue with different knowledge and perceptions, in search of answers to the situations posed by the method of problematizing reality. With the reading of Freirean epistemology, it is possible to observe an organization of the educator’s pedagogical action by the search for significant themes to, only then, carry out the selection of systematized knowledge of his area of knowledge – interdisciplinary or disciplinary –, of the programmatic content and, thus, prepare your lesson plan and activities. As a result of diving into the Freirean episteme, the conviction remains that a transformative education will only be possible based on a horizontal relationship between educator and student mediated by dialogue, and it is in this relationship that problematization arises, to approach a significant theme, having as assumption that the teacher also learns.
