Levantamento da produção do conhecimento sobre a metodologia da pesquisaação nas dissertações e teses da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) no período de 2015-2019.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze under the educational processes the survey of the production of dissertations and theses at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), specifically in the period from 2015 to 2019, which use action research as a methodological research strategy in the field of education, in order to understand what is understood about this methodological approach, its importance and how it is constructed. A state-of-the-art study was carried out, based on a survey of works located at the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDBTD). These were scanned using graph theory and descending hierarchical classification, using the IRAMUTEQ software. The results showed the existence of 34 works that seek to contribute to the students' significant learning. Such an investigation, therefore, describes the results, thus enabling an overview of what has been produced in the field of education using this theme, highlighting their contributions in order to validate the importance of this methodology. Keywords: Action research. Knowledge production. Education. Methodology.
