Abstract

DALTRO, Mônica Ramos  and  FARIA, Anna Amélia de. Experience report: A scientific narrative in the post-modernity. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.223-237. ISSN 1808-4281.

The construction of scientific knowledge is organized in a multiplicity, permanently challenged to elaborate ways of reading reality. This study presents the Report of Experience (RE) as a scientific product specific to human sciences and postmodernity. The study is a documentary analysis carried out between 12/2017-01/2018, that has researched periodicals of the psychology area, classified in the quadrennium 2013-2016 in the Platform Sucupira. After analyzing 170 journals, it was identified that only five accepted the ER as a scientific document, those of Brazilian origin and linked to the most important post-graduate programs in Brazilian psychology and located in the Southeast and Center-West regions. This result reaffirms the limited political force of the RE and the power of the cartesian empiricist perspective in the fields of psychology research. We discuss the importance of RE as a narrative that legitimizes experience as a scientific phenomenon and proposes six reference steps for its construction.

Keywords : experience report; research; human science; postmodernity; qualitative research.
