Thus going from being "object" of research to being "subjects" protagonists of it. This research approach involved the shared construction of a process of change and improvement, from a critical tradition of participatory dialogic action research, which allowed the educational community to use the research process to analyze and improve their own reality in a negotiated and agreed. The research thus proposed, with a democratic, participatory nature and committed to transformation and collective improvement, results in its social utility.
