Abstract

SANTOS, Eliana  and  WECHSLER, Solange Muglia. E-learning: a decade of Brazilian scientific publications. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.3, pp.558-565. ISSN 0034-9690.

This study aimed to evaluate and trace the profile of the Brazilian scientific production for one decade (1997-2006) about e-learning through summaries of texts published in four databases indexed in the BVS-Psi. The analysis of the enclosed texts (N=52) in this study was given according to characteristic of authorship, sampling, among others. A light peak of production was seen in 2006 (19.23%). The authors matched in unique (n=28; 53.85%) and multiple (n=23; 44.23%), differing only in the gender of the authors. More texts from research was observed (n=24;46.15%), with prominence for the Health Science area (n=14; 26.92%), as well studies with adults (n=29; 55,77%), On the other hand (n=46; 88,46%) it was observed that the e-learning is stronger mainly in the academic scope. However, the publications related to this thematic, curiously, are not predominantly from Educational and Psychology professionals.
