MILITARIZAÇÃO DAS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS –ESTADO DA ARTE DAS PESQUISAS NO BRASIL E REFLEXÕES SOBRE O CAMPO DA GEOGRAFIA (1990 A 2022)

Abstract

The militarization of public schools is a phenomenon that has expanded in Brazilian territory in recent years, especially with the implementation of the National Program of Civic-Military Schools, in 2019, at the beginning of the Bolsonaro government. Despite this expansion and its pedagogical and socio-territorial effects, the topic seems insignificant to us in the debates and productions of Brazilian Geography. Driven by this concern, we carried out a survey of dissertations, theses, articles in journals and research groups in all areas of knowledge, with the aim of mapping trends in where, how (theoretical-methodological instrument) and volume (quantitative) of productions on the topic in Brazil. Four sources were consulted: the CNPq Research Group Directory, the CAPES Theses & Dissertations Catalog, the SciELO platform (Brazil) and Google Scholar. With the organization and systematization of the work obtained in our searches, we identified the exponential growth in the number of searches since 2019; we highlight the main products of this research, as well as the areas of knowledge in which they have mostly been carried out; and we launch some points of reflection about the timid presence of the topic in Geography.
