Abstract

The paper summarizes the results of a bibliographic investigation on how Brazilian academic production addresses the theme of the family (or, better, families), with particular attention to the education of children in the 0-6, and to ECEC services. The research, at the heart of which is the analysis of a selection of scientific papers published in the most qualified and representative Brazilian journals in the field of education – while not claiming to be exhaustive – was divided into three phases. 11 journals were taken into consideration, for a total of 95 issues/editions, published between 2020 and 2024, analyzing a total of 2.495 articles. Of the aforementioned contributions, only four fall within the delimited thematic scope, crossing the descriptors “Family” and “Families” and the boolean operator AND “Early Childhood Education”. After having noted the, therefore, limited national scientific production in this area and having analyzed the selected articles, we concluded that research involving the family(s) and education category does not yet have a relevant space in Brazilian academic production, which appears to be addressed this macro-topic in an overall superficial way, addressing such a complex topic in a generally banal and reductive way.
