Online Conversation as Methodology in Multireferential Cyberresearch-Formation

ABSTRACT

The current post-Covid-19 pandemic crisis context, has potentiated the online conversation (Pimentel;Araujo, 2020), in the academic scenario, in general. In this article we present this practice as a device of research-training (Josso, 2004;Macedo, 2010;Santos, 2014) with multireferential inspiration (Ardoino, 1998) in scientific initiation research (PIBIC/CNPq) and in the research of the Master in Education at UERN, aiming to understand how online conversations have contributed to the emergence of formative and authorial processes, in the context of cyberculture. In our research we assume another way of producing meaning. Different from the formalist, rigid and purist values of Cartesianism, we think of knowledge in the scope of heterogeneity, of welcoming and working with difference, a perspective in which dialogue and the production of narratives through online conversation show potency in a different formation in relation to research. By using Mentimeter, Video, and Google Forms, the research subjects produced formative experiences enriched by the reflexive act of questioning, narrating, dialoguing, and collaboratively changing themselves.
