SANTOS, Priscila Costa  e  ALMEIDA, Maria Elizabeth Bianconcini de. EDUCATION AND FAKE NEWS: building convergences. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2020, vol.10, e020057.  Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2020v10n1id1216.

Within a short period of time, social media research went through settings of wrath and hope, evidenced by social movements in a global scale, to the materialization of post-truth, regarded as fake news. Thus, while discussing the role of Education in multiple scenarios, considering ways and means of communication that run through Online Social Networks, - especially when it comes to the comprehension of fake news as a phenomenon - this research has the main goal to understand the relations between education and fake news, by using keywords network and the researchers network, as a way to identify possible convergences and perspectives that may increase the relations between these fields of study. In this sense, in order to build an environment of reflection, we have conducted a bibliometric study of the academic production developed from 2013 to 2019, available at the database Science Direct. The analysis of the academic production went over the identification of the sources that pond the context of education and fake news, evidencing the concepts and possible relations between these two fields of study. Besides, using the network visualization software VOSviewer, we have introduced the keywords network and the researchers network that stand out in the association of these fields of analysis. It was verified that the main relations between education and fake news concern developing skills in identifying deceptive news. The network visualization of the keywords highlighted three words: education, social media and fake news. Nevertheless, in the researchers network, fourteen clusters were created out of forty-six authors
