PELLANDA, Nize Maria Campos. Conversations: a cybernetic model of the constitution of knowledge/reality. Educ. Soc. [online]. 2003, vol.24, n.85, pp. 1377-1388. ISSN 0101-7330.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-73302003000400014.

This paper discusses the application of a methodology based on cybernetic principles to a group of education researchers, in the process of knowledge construction through Conversational Dynamics. Conversation is one of the basic assumptions of Humberto Maturana's Theory on Biology of Cognition, which is the core theoretical framework of this study.
