Analysis of scientific production on gender in Brazilian Physical Education between 2013 and 2018: a Scientometry perspective

ABSTRACT

The paper analyzes the scientific production on gender in the Physical Education, field of knowledge and pedagogical intervention, in Brazil. The research consisted of an exploratory-descriptive phase centered on Scientometry. The analysis corpus consisted of 20 dissertations and theses defended between the years 2013 and 2018. The results show us: the production is concentrated in the southeastern and southern regions of the country; the main programs are PPGEF/UFMG and PPGCMH/UFRGS; the themes studied are directed to the issue of women and sport; and women emerge as authors. We show that the production seems to reflect the political and social demands regarding the gender category, which can be inferred according to the increase in production and effervescence of antigender agendas from 2013.
