DOCTORAL THESES IN SPORT MANAGEMENT IN BRAZIL: AN INTEGRATIVE METHODOLOGICAL REVIEW

Abstract

This study analyzes themes and research methods adopted in doctoral theses on Sport Management at graduate programs of Brazilian HEIs. The exploratory, descriptive and mixed-approach research was carried out through a methodological integrative review, considering theses defended until 2019. 94 theses were found, starting in 1997, with uneven geographic distribution throughout the country, mostly produced in public universities’ Physical Education and Administration programs. The theses present a range of themes where public policies prevail, while there are gaps regarding other research topics. Critical aspects were revealed about the methodological structure, with a lack of information regarding the approach and the research and analysis methods. The panorama of academic production in the area reveals gaps consistent with those of its scientific development in Brazil.
