Theoretical supports and reflections on ethics in educational research in Brazil: brief analysis and mapping of doctorate's theses. Acta Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.45, e57488.  Epub 02-Ene-2023.

The article aims to examine the ethical criteria established in Brazilian legislation that guide research with human beings, in the theses defended and approved between the years 2017 and 2019, of the Graduate Program in Education of a public university located in the southeast region of the country with high evaluation by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)). The research was based on bibliographic and documentary analysis. The work was organized in three parts: 1) it proceeds to a brief discussion on ethics in academic research in Brazil; 2) it addresses the regulatory mark of ethics in education research in Brazil and 3) it examines the ethical procedures used in doctoral theses in Education - object of the investigation. In the analysis and treatment of the data collected, it could be found that, of the 154 theses examined, 107 met the ethical and legal criteria established in national resolutions. Of this amount, only 71 theses were submitted to the university ethics committee; 36 theses presented the need for submission and were not submitted. In this generic analysis, it is concluded that ethical research procedures demand greater diffusion in the academic environment related to research in Education. In this sense, we recognize and defend the importance of feeding and deepening the debate on research ethics, in order to build specific regulatory marks for the Human and Social Sciences and, particularly, for the Education area, respecting their singular methodologies and objects of research.
