A regulação da pesquisa e o campo biomédico: considerações sobre um embate epistêmico desde o campo da educação

This article discusses the research ethics regulations in contemporary Brasil, advocated by 196/1996 and 466/2012 Resolutions, and the CEP/CONEP System. We take into account the theoretical discussions in the Humanities and Social Sciences fields, from the educational research perspective. We analyze the ethical guidelines on research in 84 Postgraduate institutions, affiliated to FORPRED (Fórum de Coordenadores de Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação), who answered to an online questionnaire, specially prepared by this forum. We present arguments constructed by Humanities and Social Sciences, especially in the Anthropology field, over the last decade, and we consider fundamental for the consolidation of this debate. We argue that the regulation of research ethics should be taken as part of a broader process in demanding regulatory agencies, by Social Sciences researchers
