Abstract
O ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação no domínio das ciências sociais expandiu-se significativamente ao longo das últimas décadas, prevendo-se que continue a expandir-se e a adquirir uma relevância ainda maior devido à crescente valorização da capacidade de investigação por parte de universidades, centros de investigação, empresas e outras organizações. Contudo, não existe uma cultura pedagógica no ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação social, isto é, não temos uma discussão nem investigação sistemáticas sobre todos os aspetos que dizem respeito ao ensino/aprendizagem destes métodos e técnicas. Através da partilha da sua experiência de lecionação de unidades curriculares desta área científica, e da reflexão que realiza sobre esta experiência à luz da literatura especializada, o autor deste artigo procura contribuir para a discussão dos aspetos pedagógicos no ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação social, discussão importante, mas que tarda em se iniciar de uma forma definitiva em Portugal. Após concluir que as suas práticas pedagógicas vão ao encontro do preconizado pela literatura revista, o autor deste artigo vai para além desta literatura, propondo princípios pedagógicos (e práticas pedagógicas) que permitem ultrapassar algumas das suas principais limitações.
The teaching and learning of social research methods has expanded significantly over the last decades and is expected to continue to expand and become even more relevant due to the increasing value that universities, research centers, companies and other organizations ascribe to research capacity. However, there is no pedagogical culture in teaching/learning social research methods, i.e., we do not have a systematic discussion or research on all aspects of teaching/learning these methods. By sharing his experience in teaching curricular units of this scientific area, and reflecting on this experience in light of the specialized literature, the author contributes to the discussion of pedagogical aspects in teaching/learning social research methods, an important and overdue discussion in Portugal. After concluding that his pedagogical principles and practices are in line with those recommended by the revised literature, the author proposes pedagogical principles (and pedagogical practices) that allow to overcome some of its main limitations.
