MOROSINI, Marília  and  FELICETTI, Vera Lucia. First-Generation Students (F-Gen) in Brazilian Higher Education: analyzing data from PNS - 2013. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.75, pp.103-120.  Epub July 18, 2019. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.66841.

This article reflects upon the new student profile in Higher Education with a prospective view, particularly the First-Generation Student (F-Gen). To this end, we initially discuss the foundations of the concept of a 1st-generation student (F-Gen) and their characteristics, based on a bibliographic survey. Moreover, data on F-Gens are analyzed for the first time from the official source of the National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional da Saúde - PNS) from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE) from 2013. Considerations are presented regarding the inclusion of F-Gens in Higher Education in the country, highlighting the institutional collaboration process for minimizing the tensions between dominant and dominated in the scientific field.

Keywords : First-generation student; F-Gen; Higher Education; PNS/IBGE.
