Abstract

LUCAS, Maria Aparecida Porto  and  RAUSCH, Rita Buzzi. Vertentes teório-metodológicas norteadoras dos trabalhos de conclusão de curso de pedagogia da FURB no período de 2001 a 2006. ETD [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.01, pp.176-197. ISSN 1676-2592.

A documental analysis has been made on the methodological and theoretical guidelines in the end of term papers of the Pedagogy Course at FURB University in 321 works from 2001 to 2006. It has been noticed that all the developed papers focused the educational area. As for the sub areas, the predominant ones were: education in Pre School, educational psychology, special education and educational sociology. The most used theoretical authors were: Vygotsky, Piaget, Kramer, Freire, Aries, Wallon and Ferreiro. For the sub areas, it has been suggested that the future researches should include investigations on less or not focused studied fields. The importance of classic objects of research has been understood and those must be tackled. However, in some works there is an absence of more specific authors on the studied object. Most researches have been developed on the qualitative approach and some have used quantitative data. In relation to the research types, the predominant ones were the exploratory, participant and case study types. It has been considered that such kinds are related to the process of initiation to research. The most used instruments for data collection were a questionnaire preceded by interview and observation. Several research students have used more than one instrument, which possibly led to a comprehension of the subject under a variety of aspects.

Keywords : Pedagogy; Initiation to Research; End of Term Paper; Research Methodology.
