BERTOLDI, Sandra; BOLLETTA, Viviana  and  MINGARDI MINETTI, Milka. Displacement operations of the concept reflexivity within the Social Studies fields. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2008, n.37, pp.95-106. ISSN 1851-1716.

We assume the concept reflexivity as a useful tool for analyzing and controlling the researcher's biases in the scientific practice. As teacher researchers, however, we are aware of serious difficulties in the implementation of this analysis tool. Therefore, we started asking ourselves: If reflexivity is considered a suitable tool for the analysis and validation of results, why is it not used more often in social practice? When and how was the concept reflexivity formed, and what displacement operations from its original field to other knowledge fields has it gone through? What possibilities are there for the concept reflexivity to undergo new displacement processes from other Social Studies knowledge and/or learning fields -for research purposes? These questions are the core of the subjects that we discuss in this article.

Keywords : Social Sciencies; Reflexivity; Displacement operations.
