MOREIRA, Laélia Portela. The Programa Universidade Para Todos in doctoral dissertations of the Education area: themes, foundations and levels of abstraction. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.3, pp.871-892.  Epub Oct 16, 2019. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.14n3.004.

This paper presents results of a meta-research on doctoral dissertations produced on the Programa Universidade para Todos (Prouni) - University For All Program - defended in Brazilian Graduate Programs in Education from 2007 to 2017. Based on a combination of the Focus of the Epistemologies of Education Policy with other contributions from the field of public policies and education policy, this text presents a mapping of the main themes and foundations of the theses, systematizes the privileged approaches by the authors, the types of theorization and the levels of abstraction achieved. The results reveal a great variation of approaches and themes, the low use of literature and models in the field of education policy and, from the point of view of abstraction levels, the predominance of descriptive and analytical studies, despite the presence of a few understanding studies.

Keywords : Prouni; Research in Education Policy; Analysis and evaluation of policies.
