THE MICROGENETIC ANALYSIS AS A METHOD IN RESEARCH EDUCATION IN HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL APPROACH

Abstract

In the Educational area, one case observe researchers who develop knowledge considering the interactive processes in teaching and learning from the historical-cultural approach as a framework for dealing with research problems, mainly inspired by the access to the works of Vygotsky. This context raises challenges for proposing coherent research methods with this approach, as microgenetic analysis. What is the micro genetic analysis method? How historically constituted is this method? What are the steps of microgenetic analysis? These questions led to the development of a literature search in order to clarify facts that allow understanding of microgenetic analysis in theoretical and methodological in terms of educational research in the historical-cultural approach. In addition to the systematization of arguments, we highlight an excerpt from a research in which we noted one microgenetic analysis. Thus, we seek to provoke debate about the complexity of research in the cultural historical approach, focusing on its methodological dimension.
