Tendências epistemológicas da pesquisa em educação especial no Brasil: a análise das dissertações e teses do PPGEEs/UFSCar

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze, from the methodological approaches, the epistemological implications of theses and dissertations produced in PPGE/UFSCar, considering their interrelations with the socio-politico- economic. In general we obtained the following results, 88.9% of documents reviewed have adopted the empirical-analytic approach, 11.1% to phenomenological-hermeneutic and 0% to critical-dialectic. Considering the links between logic and history, we find that the predominance of empirical- analytic approach is related with the socio-politico-economic in Brazil, especially to model the Graduate deployed in the country, as well as with the characteristics internal program studied.
