Egressos das licenciaturas em ciências agrícolas/agrárias e educação do campo: uma análise do estado do conhecimento na Amazônia

Abstract

This thesis analyzes studies on graduates from university teaching courses/degrees in Agricultural/Agrarian Sciences and Rural Education (LEdoC) and their state of knowledge in the Amazon Region-Northern Brazil, starting from the mapping of the evolution of courses availability/creation in the abovementioned country. The present work sought to i) map such courses, verifying the evolution of their availability in the Higher Education Regulation System - e-MEC; ii) survey the bibliographic productions in four electronic databases that indicate the state of knowledge about graduates of these courses; iii) to carry out bibliometric and systemic analyses of academic productions, pointing out the frontiers of knowledge, gaps, advances, and the profile of graduates from rural higher education within the Amazon Region-Northern Brazil. In this study, documentary research was adopted through the basis of the Higher Education Regulation System - e-MEC on the evolution of the offer of the creation of Degree courses in Agricultural/Agrarian Sciences and Rural Education (1963-2019). Therefore, exploratory/bibliographic/documentary/descriptive research is used, of the State of Knowledge type, with a temporal cut (2008/2009-2019). The bibliographic production bases consulted were: Catalog of Theses & Dissertations-CAPES, Portal of Periodicals-CAPES/MEC, Web of Science and Google Scholar. From the 8 works selected in such databases, findings pointed out: i) The existence of 53 university courses registered in the e-MEC System (2020) as having the presential mode and 3 courses as taking place in the distance education mode-EaD [...]; ii) 8 studies were found concerning the state of knowledge within the aforementioned databases; iii) advances are identified in the number of Rural Education courses; iii) through the analysis of academic productions, gaps and advances pointed out by graduates of rural higher education in the Amazon Region-Northern Brazil, are identified – one of the main limitations of the courses being the failure to fit graduates in Agricultural Sciences in the Regional Council of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy, which implies a restriction of the job market, in the representation and symbolic devaluation of the course.
