ABSTRACT
The paper proposes a methodological approach that allows incorporating the knowledge of the teachers of resource rooms in the production of knowledge, so taking forward the policies and practices of school inclusion in the country, a major objective of the National Observatory of Special Education. It presents an experience of research training that incorporates methodological proposals to the life stories of educators from one of the towns that participated in the Observatory’s research. Such a methodological approach, is presented by arguing about the possibilities of interaction, in practice, between research training and life story. Effective participation of the teachers of resource rooms in the survey of knowledge about themselves, and the policies of the history of special education showed great heuristic potential in the study of how such knowledge is embedded in the actions and in the training processes of these teachers.
