Academic Writing and the Training of Researchers: Overcoming Epistemological Obstacles in the Production of a Scientific Article

Abstract

Academic writing is a social activity, in which the construction of scientific knowledge takes the form of concrete texts that are part of the academic context. The individual who produces an academic text is challenged to write, socialize research and build scientific knowledge, as this task is not easy. The objective of this research was to analyze the construction of scientific articles developed by students based on the recursion proposal. The methodology had a quantitative approach with descriptive objectives and field procedures. The sample consisted of 60 students from Physical Education and Physiotherapy courses at a private Higher Education Institution in the city of Vitória-ES. The results showed that the experience of building a scientific article was empowering, as it is time to internalize basic knowledge to be an initial researcher. And in this climate of being able to make mistakes and do it over again, the way is opened to awaken the scientific spirit of students. The improvements obtained reflect the student's ability to do and redo their work with the aim of always improving it. The interventions carried out during the process of experiencing the production of the scientific article minimized the epistemological obstacles in the moments of doing.
