MAPPING THE LITERATURE ON HIGHER EDUCATION, DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT, AND EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION (2018-2024)

Abstract

Higher Education, Diversity of Thought and Educational Transformation are interconnected themes that play key roles in the educational landscape. Higher Education represents a crucial level in academic and professional training. Diversity of Thought promotes the inclusion of different perspectives, experiences and knowledge, enriching the educational environment and preparing students to deal with the complexity of today's world. Educational Transformation encompasses the changes needed to adapt the education system to the demands of a constantly evolving society, seeking to innovate methodologies, content and teaching practices. The aim of this study was to map the studies produced in Brazil that address the themes of Higher Education, Diversity of Thought and Educational Transformation individually, as well as the interaction between them. The investigation sought to answer the following research question: what do the studies produced in Brazil between 2018 and 2023 reveal about Higher Education, Diversity of Thought and Educational Transformation and their interrelationships? To collect the data, a bibliographic survey was carried out on Google Scholar, covering articles published between 2018 and 2024. The review articles were analyzed separately. The main results indicate that the year 2023 had the highest number of publications.
