Resumo: Abstract: Our goal in this text is to discuss the place theory has occupied in educational policy research. Firstly, we present brief remarks about the concept of theory to signal implications and consequences of their presence / absence in educational policy research. Subsequently, we analyze the role of theory in educational studies, in order to score a critical and creative dimension. Thirdly, we present the consequences of withdrawal from theory and the weakening of the concepts of knowledge, considering teacher development and the formation of researchers. The argument we have developed is epistemologically anchored at the interface of a pluralistic and rationalist theoretical perspective taken in its critical-analytical epistemological positioning, besides the epistemological approach of complexity. Thus, we make use of robust and flexible concepts that allow us to understand, clarify and explain the proposed problem, that is, to seek a satisfactory answer to the question: What is the place and the importance of theory in educational policy research? In this way, we designed a theoretical analysis that seeks to explore complex and diverse interactions, considering the field in which such problems are located, namely the educational policies and their relationship to the research.   Keywords: Theory. Research. Epistemology. Educational policy.

Así, presentamos en un primer momento breves consideraciones acerca del concepto de teoría con el fin de señalar implicaciones y consecuencias de su presencia/ausencia en las investigaciones en política educativa; en un segundo momento, hacemos un análisis del papel de la teoría en los estudios educativos, con el objetivo de marcar la dimensión crítica y creativa; y, en el tercer momento, presentamos las consecuencias de el retiro de la teoría y la fragilidad de las concepciones de conocimiento, para la formación de profesores e investigadores. La argumentación que desarrollamos está anclada epistemológicamente en una interfaz de perspectiva teórica pluralista y racionalista en su posición epistemológica crítico-analítica y el enfoque epistemológico de la complejidad. De este modo, nos valemos de conceptos robustos y flexibles que nos permiten comprender, elucidar y aclarar el problema propuesto, es decir, buscar una respuesta satisfactoria para la pregunta: ¿Cuál es el lugar y la importancia de la teoría en la investigación en política educativa? Proyectamos un análisis teórico que busca explorar las complejas y diversas interacciones relacionadas a la problemática, es decir, de las políticas educativas y de su relación con la investigación.   Palabras clave: Teoría. Investigación. Epistemología. Política Educacional.Resumo: Nosso objetivo, no presente texto, é problematizar acerca de qual é o lugar que a teoria tem ocupado na pesquisa em política educacional. Para isso, num primeiro momento, apresentamos breves considerações a respeito do conceito de teoria, a fim de sinalizar implicações e consequências de sua presença/ausência nas pesquisas em política educacional; num segundo momento, analisamos o papel da teoria nos estudos educacionais, a fim de pontuar sua dimensão crítica e criativa; e, no terceiro momento, apresentamos as consequências do recuo da teoria e a fragilização das concepções de conhecimento, para a formação de professores e pesquisadores. A argumentação que desenvolvemos está ancorada epistemologicamente na interface de uma perspectiva teórica pluralista e racionalista, tomada em seu posicionamento epistemológico crítico-analítico e enfoque epistemológico da complexidade. Desse modo, nos valemos de conceitos robustos e flexíveis que nos permitem compreender, elucidar e esclarecer o problema proposto, ou seja, buscar uma resposta satisfatória para a pergunta: qual é o lugar e a importância da teoria na pesquisa em política educacional? Projetamos uma análise teórica que busca explorar as complexas e diversas interações postas pelo campo em que se localiza tal problemática, ou seja, das políticas educacionais e de sua relação com a pesquisa.   Palavras-chave: Teoria.
