This teaching case describes an experiment in the training of researchers through autoscopy, a methodological device of a qualitative nature with a reflective approach. Autoscopy is an alternative to the use of interviews in qualitative research. It includes two phases: video recording and reflective sessions. This study aims to promote discussion of an experiment, and reflection on the feasibility of applying autoscopy to it. It describes the practical training of researchers, and highlights the moments of learning during the experiment, which was performed with researchers and fellows of a Federal University in Brazil. Besides describing the pilot implementation of the methodology, the teaching case includes learning objectives, discussion questions and references to help in discussing the case. Autoscopy is a device that involves reflection and is therefore appropriate for use in disciplines that work with experiential learning and training in research methodology.
