O estado da arte sobre evasão escolar nos institutos federais: uma contribuição para a construção de saberes e práticas

Abstract

In the world and Brazil, the high rate of dropout in educational scenarios persists. The Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated the problem furthermore. In this article, an excerpt of research, we aimed to map and analyze the scientific production of Brazilian graduate studies on truancy at the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology. The study is of qualitative approach, exploratory and bibliographic, of the State of the Art type. We established the time frame from 2010 to 2020. We collected data at the sites of the Sucupira Platform, in the Catalogue of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and at the Observatory of the Professional Master's Degree in Professional Education in National Network Education (ProfEPT).We could find 37 papers, 33 dissertations, and 04 theses. For analysis, we used the Content Analysis Technique. Results showed that there are still few studies dedicated to investigating the phenomenon of dropout in Federal Institute, and there is no unanimity on the part of scholars regarding the definition of the term.Results of studies on dropouts in subsequent courses indicate that the complexity of the problem that hinders its resolution comes from factorial diversity. Given the pandemic picture, State of the Art on the screen will contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon of truancy, knowing its panorama in the universe of academic works.
