Estudo cenciométrico sobre evasão escolar no ensino médio no Brasil no período de 2017-2021

Abstract

This study aimed to perform a scientometric analysis of academic productions at the Federal Universities (FU) of each region of Brazil (North, Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast), on the theme "School Dropout in High School" available in the respective online institutional repositories of each FU between the years 2017-2021. For the research of academic productions, the terms "School Dropout" and "High School" were used, along with the research tools of the repositories used to funnel the results of the research. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 studies were found to perform the analysis. The study considered as a criterion of inclusion the works that addressed high school as a central theme. As a method of exclusion, the work disregarded studies that addressed high school in a secondary way or in conjunction with another modality of study. The research had several analysis criteria to put together an overview of the regions that research school dropout, these criteria were: which years in which there was the largest number of this research, in which academic levels this theme is most researched and how this theme is studied, in addition to also analyzing the situation of school dropout in each region of Brazil, contrasting with the number of Federal University in each region of Brazil. The paper concludes that the Northeast and Southeast are the regions that studied school dropout the most between 2017-2021, in contrast to the South, Southeast and Midwest regions that have very little studied the theme and have the highest average dropout. Thus, one sees a possible link between the dropout rate and the level of interest of federal academic institutions in each region in solving the problem.
