Abstract

SILVA, RUI DA  and  ADRIAO, THERESA. Social networks and education policy: analysis of Ayrton Senna Institute on twitter from 2013 to 2020. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.3, pp.1413-1440.  Epub Mar 15, 2022. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol37n32021.111567.

The paper seeks to analyse the agenda of the Ayrton Senna Institute (ASI) on Twitter by examining the trends identified in the messages, the users mentioned, and the agendas conveyed. Using a corpus of documents composed of the tweets of Ayrton Senna Institute from 2013 to 2020 we performed a content analysis and automatic word frequency analysis of the tweets. The results highlight that the tweets give importance to issues inherent to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the use of scientific evidence, research, citations, or studies to legitimise the positions defended by the ASI. Reference to organisations such as UNESCO and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is used to legitimise the actions and options taken by the ASI.

Keywords : Education policies; Ayrton Senna Institute; Twitter; Social networks.
