Crianças indígenas no Brasil: qual a contribuição das pesquisas em Educação para a vivência da infância no contexto indígena?

Abstract

This work presents how indigenous children are reported in Brazil by Educational scientific researches. A research clipping was applied to a bigger bibliographic survey data (which also covered the areas of Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology). It was selected 192 national scientific journals, 80 of which were from Education. Eight descriptors were searched in the article abstracts, generating more than 6 thousand occurrences of articles, more than 3 thousand of which were from Education. We refined the results, specifically in the area of Education: only 27 articles deal with indigenous children/childhood. We analyzed the content of the articles to highlight such initiatives among the still tiny volume of articles published on the subject.
