Documentary historical analysis and bibliographic research: study subjects and methodology ^{1 2 3 4}

Abstract

This theoretical essay discusses documentary analysis and bibliographic research methodologies, both in the context of Education, briefly approaching different study subjects and methodologies. The article is divided into four sections: in the first section, we present some introductory notes on the subject; in the second section, we approach the notion of historical documents and the way they can be included in Education research; in the third section, we present the methodologies adopted in bibliographical research; in the fourth section, we make some final remarks. The reflections on the matter are presented in order to contrast these two fields, exposing the theoretical and methodological elements that distinguish them.
