STATE OF ART ON THE RESEARCHERS’ FORMATION IN GROUP SPACE

Abstract

This paper presents a mapping of brazilian and foreign scientific productions about the formation of researchers in the group space. It is part of a survey conducted at a federal university in the countryside of RS, Brazil. The present methodology possesses affinities with a qualitative research, such as State of the Art, suggesting a thematic mapping. We analyzed the work of the ANPED and ENDIPE meetings, as well as dissertations and theses from the context of RIES – Rede Sulbrasileira de Investigadores de Educação Superior and works of CAPES/MEC Periodical portal, in the Web of Science database. Based on the Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977), it was possible to group reference thematic categories that are commonly discussed in the analyzed works: Group conception, Researchers’ formation and Relationship between teaching and research. With this work, it was possible to understand the need to explore the issue of the researchers’ formation, especially in the group context, showing which factors contribute to the ability of the subjects to become multiplier and competent researchers.
