Democratização da educação superor em dissertações e teses de professores da Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

We have the purpose of identify democratization access and permanence conceptions in higher education that have been manifested, published and presented in graduate programs researchs. So we have analyzed theses and dissertations produced by teachers of the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), wich were available at the central library, considering that they may indicate problems and/or concepts that are on the university agenda. This work is based on scholars in the area as Osvaldo Dias Sobrinho, Maria das Graças Martins da Silva, Tereza Christina Aguiar Veloso, among others. We detected the presence of democratization actions of access in higher education, which does not include the permanence, and there are few specific discussions. There are evidences that is necessary to consider the relationship between democratization of access and the democratization of knowledge, in the perspective of knowledge and popular knowledge disseminated, studied, recognised or not at the higher education.
