Educação & Formação Journal: balance of scientific production (2016-2018)

Abstract

The objective is to analyze the scientific production published by the Educação & Formação Journal between 2016-2018, identifying the main educational thematic categories discussed in this triennium. State of art research was used, methodologically supported by categorical analysis of the disseminated articles, considering their title, keywords and abstracts. 101 products were identified, which culminated in five main thematic categories: “Teacher Training”, “History of Education”, “Educational Policy”, “Inclusive Education” and “Technology and Digital Culture”. These were mostly discussed through qualitative research, such as literature review and case study, using literature review, interviews and document analysis. The discussions pointed out that the literature published by Educação & Formação focuses on the subfield teacher training, as proposed by the focus and scope of the journal, making it a reference in this field. The published literature highlights the qualification of teachers of basic education and the gaps regarding the qualification of higher education teachers.
