Metodologia do Trabalho Acadêmico

Abstract

Certainly, scientific methods are not always successful in their attempt to say everything and do so objectively. Currently, there is a great debate about the limits of objectivity and this capacity for understanding. Many scientists and epistemologists (philosophers concerned with scientific questions) have wondered about the functions of methods and denied the ability of any methodology to create general understanding. More than that, today we think of science and academic life as experiences linked to the political, social, cultural and similar. This book, based on the need to show the paths and the importance of considering the limits of these paths, offers an introduction to the methodology of academic work. It will be a kind of manual, briefly going over the most famous concepts of science and method and moving on to the textualization practices required at graduation, so that the reader can have the necessary tools to reflect on scientific practice at the University and to produce their studies and textualize them in the most appropriate way for the spheres linked to training in Higher Education.
