A produção do conhecimento na sociedade da informação: reflexões filosóficas sobre a pesquisa em educação

Abstract

The text aims to reflect on the production of human knowledge, relate to the current information society and making notes on the production of knowledge in education. It begins with a review on the transition of human knowledge production, through common sense, until you reach the form of scientific knowledge. After that, we discuss issues related to the production of scientific knowledge and the relationship between subject and object, reflecting on the movement of educational research in Brazil. So we can salvage the characteristics of the information society and its relationship to knowledge production in education, when one considers the paradigm presented by Santos (1987, 1989, 1997 and 2000). It is considered that the current transition process that fragments the knowledge in disciplines brings key reasons for educational reflection.
