Listening to rural settlement children about child education in thesis and dissertations

Abstract

This article, part of a research in progress at the Postgraduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul - Pantanal Campus, discusses data collected in the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and on the program's website. The search, which used 26 descriptors - isolated and crossed - resulted in the selection of 26 works, whose organization and analysis for writing the article were carried out with the approach of a study of the state of knowledge type. The results indicate that, although there is an increase in the number of investigations that seek to listen to children, there are still few studies with children of preschool age. We emphasize that no studies were found that considered children as collaborators in the elaboration of the research, nor with the objective of listening to settled children. It is worth mentioning the fact that, although the selected works affirm the need for children to be listened to, most seek other sources of complementary information (from adults) to compose the data.
