This text is focused on problematizing the analysis of data from scientific research in education, which we consider the Achilles' heel of any investigation, whether in the natural sciences or in the human sciences. The epistemological and methodological rigor in data analysis leads to positive results, reflecting the problem, the interpretation and the production of knowledge. This applies to research of an interventional nature of professional masters in education, which in the dialectical relationship between investigation and action intends to transform individuals and institutions. In understanding this issue, we work with the notion of understanding from the Human Sciences, regarding its object of study – man in his multiple determinations, since doing research in this area intends to understand human life; this makes all the difference in the process of data analysis in a research, since we investigate concreteness, discourses, representations, meanings of life. We deepen this issue, explaining, from authors such as Minayo and Franco, how a comprehensive data analysis is carried out, based on content analysis, at the same time, bringing this path to the territory of interventional research, in a more appropriate way. Keywords: interventional research; data analysis; content analysis.
