Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.49, pp.415-422. Epub 10-Mar-2014. ISSN 1807-5762. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622013.0784.
Data-gathering methods in research may be multiple and involve many techniques and approaches. Starting from the theoretical and methodological perspective of social occupational therapy, a report on fragments of activity workshops that were used as a resource for understanding the realities of adolescents living in peripheral urban areas, in developing a particular research project is presented. Through images and poetry produced by adolescents participating in activities at a youth center, it is concluded that occupational therapeutic workshops not only enable production of actions among these adolescents, but also are an important and potent resource for comprehending their realities within the scope of research.
Key words : Occupational therapy; Activity workshop; Research; Poor adolescents.
