Produção acadêmica sobre leitura e escrita na educação infantil no período de 1973 a 2013: algumas reflexões

Abstract

The objective was to organize a bibliographical review on reading and writing in Early Childhood Education, between 1973 and 2013. National databases were used that contained theses, dissertations, specialized journals and works presented in Working Groups 07 and 10 of ANPEd. By crossing general terms with specific terms, 392 documents were recovered (211 master's theses, 71 doctoral theses, 1 free teaching thesis, 61 articles and 48 works presented at ANPEd). The documents were grouped into three interstices: 1973-1989; 1990-1999 and 2000-2013. Growth was observed between the interstices, in all types of publication, except in the case of ANPEd, whose quantity, between the second and third interstices, remained unchanged. Data analysis considered the late digitalization of information, the period of expansion of postgraduate studies in Brazil and the establishment of Early Childhood Education as an object of investigation. One of the conclusions that permeates the three interstices is the distance between the number of dissertations and theses presented and the number of articles published, as well as works presented in GTs 07 and 10 of ANEPd, indicating little dissemination of research results.
