This dissertation investigates research, characterized as a metacognitive activity, as an alternative methodology to deal with individual differences. To reach the objectives, I have reviewed studies on the complexity of knowing, the individual as self-reorganizer of his/her knowledge, neuroscientific findings regarding the functioning of the brain, the theme metacognition, teacher mediation, research as an activity, and teacher education. to this theoretical interlocution, i have also added empirical data collected from ten college students who were graduating in pedagogy at Fundação Universidade Federal do Rio Grande in Rio Grande, RS. Data collection included the application of questionnaires, spreadsheets to be used for self-recording of research activities, and group meetings after the work had been carried out. Results show that it is possible to favor students’ metacognitive development through research tasks. By considering the complexity of the task and the need to reach an objective, the student devises an initial plan, however, when s/he reflects on his/her cognitive processes, s/he can monitor, evaluate and regulate his/her mental actions; thus, s/he may redo the plan according to his/her goals. Therefore, the student perceives himself/herself as a subject who can reorganize his/her own learning, and cooperate to construct a self-poietic view of relearning to learn. At the same time, based on the idea that teacher education influences the adoption of this pedagogical practice and that teacher mediation is essential for students’ self-regulation, I have defended the need to promote, mainly in teacher education courses, the understanding of metacognition, and its practice as well. In order to do that, I have suggested the use of research as a methodological alternative to provide teachers-tobe with learning experiences that favor self-research, thus, contributing to the understanding of the complexity of teaching and learning and allowing them to perceive the self-poiesis of relearning to learn.
