SOUZA, Ângelo Ricardo de. A pesquisa em políticas educacionais no Brasil: de que estamos tratando?. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2014, vol.09, n.02, pp.355-367. ISSN 1809-4309.

This article presents and analyzes part of the Brazilian academic production on educational policies. The study comprises the 215 papers presented at the Research Committee 5 (State and Educational Policy) annual sessions of the National Association for Education Research and Post-Graduation (ANPED), between 2000 and 2011. The first part of the text focuses on themes and subjects of study, in order to map what researchers have prioritized in their investigations; in the second part, the article presents and briefly discusses the ways in which researchers have dealt with such subjects. Methodologically, this investigation carried out the reading of titles, keywords, and abstract (when there was one) and the text of articles in a transversal way, that is, initially reading the entire introduction and conclusions. When this procedure was not enough to highlight the research issues, the whole text was read. Results show that research in the educational policy field in Brazil focuses mainly on the State (non) action regarding the demands of the population for education in the current context and, from this, highlight a number of challenges posed to the research field.

Keywords : Educational Policies; Academic Production; National Association of Post-Graduation and Educational Research - ANPED.
