Abstract

Assuming that the research process involves decisions framed in time and space, we analyze how researchers define their objects of study in the field of teacher education. The methodology, based on backed up theory, has used interviews to researchers to reconstruct the genesis of their studies. The findings show theoretical and pragmatic origins underlying research practices: the weight of the position of the researcher in the field of training and research, the role of the calls for competition (as an "artifact" defining problems), the effects of financing and the role of the institution hosting the research. It is concluded that research on education is a constructive process that involves personal, institutional and contextual decisions and factors.
