Abstract

This article explores the use of graphical visual language in research processes as a form of investigation and learning. Based on the case of a master's thesis, the authors examine the process of graphic exploration and how it contributed to the results of the analysis of ten interviews. The use of different graphic resources and how they served to represent and translate elements present in the interviewees' speeches, to organise, identify the recurring themes and, subsequently, analyse them is observed. It was found that the process of exploring and analysing the interviews was enhanced by the design process, which experimented with different configurations of organisation and categorisation were experimented, articulating concepts and forms throughout the process.

His research focuses on the relationship between design, culture and education, with an emphasis on design education and training. He coordinates the Design and Education Laboratory (DesEduca Lab) and is a founding member and complicator of the Design and Oppression network. His interests include issues such as pedagogical practices, languages and discourses, classroom spaces, new technologies and social and technological interactions in the context of educating designers. He has also worked on the relationship between design and oppression from a critical Freirian perspective and related authors. His methodological approach favours critical studies supported by empirical processes such as fieldwork, case studies, participant observation and action research.
