Abstract
VASCONCELOS, MARIA CELI CHAVES and KLOH, FABIANA FERREIRA PIMENTEL. A production that intensifies: home education in academic research. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.539-558. Epub Jan 11, 2021. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n22020.102988.
The article aims to present the analysis of dissertations and theses on homeschooling defended in Brazilian graduate programs. The source of the consultation was the Capes Theses and Dissertations Catalog and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. The investigative corpus, composed of 35 dissertations and theses defended in the period from 2010 to 2019, was analyzed from exploratory and bibliographic research. Among the main findings, we highlight the increased interest in the subject with a focus on the relevant legislation, in addition to the gradual insertion of research on the subject in graduate programs, predominantly in the area of Education and Law, with emphasis on the production of a greater number of dissertations than theses.
