O processo constitutivo do grupo de análise narrativa discursiva: a formação de pesquisadores no espaço grupal

Abstract

This thesis was developed in the Line of Research 1 – Formation, knowledge and Professional Development, of Post-Graduate Program in Education, of the Federal University of Santa Maria/RS. The proposed theme addressed the constitutive process of the Analysis Group Discursive Narrative (AGDN) as researchers’ formation and it had as general objective to identify, to interpret and to understand the constitutive dynamics of the Analysis Group Discursive Narrative for the elaboration of a Group Discursive Narrative Analysis (GDNA). The methodology was based on the theoretical contributions of the Theory of Communicative Action (TCA) by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas (2012), using the hermeneutic-reconstructive approach as analysis instrument. The discourses of the seventeen members of AGDN were analyzed, through the hermeneutic, it having as paradigm two broad models of rationality: the philosophy of subjectivity and the philosophy of intersubjectivity, present in the TAC. Data collection included the transcription of the fifteen meetings of the AGDN, semi-structured interviews with the members and the researcher's field diary. The theoretical elements involved in this work concern the researcher’s formation and the work with groups. The elaborated observations and considerations about the AGDN, under the hermeneutic, critical and dialectical look reveal that the constitutive dynamics of the group went through three moments, namely: 1st - from doubts and certainties; 2nd) of new concepts; 3rd) of dismantling and reconstruction. Thus, these moments allowed two important movements that constituted AGDN: a) the reconstruction of the equilibrium between the objective, subjective and social worlds; and b) the effective coordination of individual actions (immersion/exploration/elaboration/re-elaboration) for the development the collective analysis task proposed by the group. Thus, the constitutive dynamics of the AGDN resulted from the construction effort of GDNA, generating researchers’ formation and was crossed by intersubjective interactions among the members. These intersubjective interactions provoked in the members the review their practices as researchers and changes in the understanding about and how to do research. At the end of the search, it was pretended that it became a "communicative research", that’s to say, capable of awakening the communicative competence of the researchers, so that they allow themselves to discuss and re-evaluate the field of research in education, for the benefit of all. In addition, understanding that the singularity of the subject is built in the collective, the expectation is that this work of group analysis will serve as an incentive for formative, lived experience in the group space, in order to contribute with the formation of a multiplier and independent researcher, who knows how to dialogue with the world of life.
