Reflecting on Educational Research. A Critical Sight from the Autoethnography of a Teacher

Reflect on lived experience is an excellent strate to build knowledge. The text presented intended to be above all a provocation, a thing aimed to encourage the professors from the Faculties of Education, especially young people, to stop themselves, if only for a few minutes in order to reflect on the meaning of educational research. Do not look at it in other way. Here are the experiences of a teacher after thirty years of work at school, high school and college. Reflecting on the autoethnography as educational researcher, I wanted to approach my mistakes, successes and implicit theories. From here, I only have questions that, asked to the community, I want these questions to open a debate about what kind of research needs school and how, from the collaboration, we can all contribute to its improvement.
