Produção científica sobre o programa dinheiro direto na escola

Abstract

This research aimed to verify how the Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE) in Brazil has been addressed, from the thesis and dissertations published by Postgraduate Programs in Education, during its implementation in the national territory. It is characterized as a qualitative study, of bibliographic study that resorted to textual analysis - from the software Iramuteq with the use of techniques: lexicographic statistics, similarity analysis, word cloud and descending hierarchical classification - content analysis and approach of Metasearch to understand what the main themes, challenges, and contexts of the program in public education. Forty-two papers were in the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertação (BDTD) - Brazilian Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertations - according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, search filters and use of Boolean operators to map the productions. The literature review proposed to substantiate and understand: the relationship between economy, education, and national development; the legal bases of funding in Brazil; the funds policy and the creation of PDDE as a measure of resource decentralization. The results pointed to a vision of the programme centred on a trinity characterised by five interrelated categories. Moreover, the thesis and dissertations signalled that the neoliberal principles and technical-operative procedures, prevented the expansion of autonomy and democratic management in school environments.
