JACOMINI, Márcia Aparecida  and  SILVA, Antonia Almeida. Research on educational policies: epistemological issues and challenges to the consolidation of the education field (2000-2010). J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2019, vol.13, e64425.  Epub July 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v12i0.64425.

This study analyzes the academic production of 20 postgraduate programs in education in Brazil, notably theses and dissertations related to the study of educational policies, defended in the period 2000-2010. We try to understand if and to what extent this production indicates overcoming of gaps movements pointed out in some studies as factors that weaken the consolidation of the education area as a field of knowledge, namely regarding the epistemological aspects and their articulation with the adopted research methods. The analyzed papers have announced tangential concerns to epistemology issues, method and theory in the educational field, but without necessarily having the constitution of the field as a fundamental concern.
