Objective: to reflect upon the use of the research itinerary under the light of Paulo Freire's works, focusing on the Culture Circle for nursing research. Method: qualitative, descriptive study of reflexive analysis. Paulo Freire's publications and a bibliographic survey were used in the virtual library Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), without any specifications of time frames. From the reading of the material that converged with the object proposed in this reflection, content analysis was carried out from a chromatic characterization between the similar ones. Results: the dialogicity that qualifies by means of the attention and intentionality of the people involved in the meetings of the Culture Circles stands out, which contributes to the possibility of problematizing different experienced situations in order to find solutions. Considering that the essence of nursing is caring, research in this area needs to detect and unveil the needs of the population. Conclusion: the methodological path of the Culture Circle proposed by Freire seems to be a viable and effective alternative in the construction of knowledge and in the field of investigation in Nursing, seeking perspective of the participation of public health policies and solutions to problems of society.
