ABS193 - Seminar Women in Science: a historical-cultural approach in the training of researchers

The pedagogical insight we have in the multi-method research about training researchers in educational sciences. The purpose of the Seminar Women in Science was to review the lives of women in science to explore different paths construction of scientific knowledge that these women developed in their historical moment. The movies were one of the didactical strategies. The revision of the trajectories of women allowed us to identify the singularities of scientific knowledge in order to reflect on their own trajectories of the seminar participants. The result was an experience that changed not only their research process, either they changed their own personal lives. Personal and collective expressions in the field of art and social engagement were carried out. The analysis of the investigation allowed us to identify the key factors that influenced the participants considered as women. The theoretical references on the lives of women, feminism (Lagarde, 2016) and methodological construction (Vygotsky, 1979; Freire, 1980) helped to construct a group of women in training process. The pedagogical proposal was carried out under a historical-cultural framework that included the different aspects of the participant’s lives. The activities were planned from the point of historical-cultural perspective; it considers the cultural backgrounds of the participants and their historical references allowed to construct through dialogue a horizontal relationship between teacher and participants. Some of the results were the decisions the participants and the coordinator took, not only in the field of research but also in a personal domain.
