The intention, with this research, is to analise in which way the second grade students, class 202, and History teachers of the Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Professor João Germano Imlau – Erechim/RS –, deal with the research as the discipline of history's methodological resource. The investigation is based upon a polygraph, answered by the both actors described above, related to the utilization of the research method for the comprehension of the storical facts studied in class, enphasizing the understanding what are the sources in which the students look for the information requested by the teacher(s), if they find them using the Internet or other research environments, the good will, or not, on using this methodology for learning, as well as ask for suggestions on history classes' best use by the students. To the teachers the questions made aim to the way how students' both interaction and interest by the investigative process are identified, in addition to the evaluation criteria for those tasks, counting, still, with their impressions regarding to what could get better on History teaching methodology. The comparison between teachers' and students' answers – based upon History teaching theoretical references – will result in the hypothesis confirmation in which the research as teaching methodology is valid and constructive to the learning in the History area.
