Sociology in the vestibular: an analysis of the discipline contents in selective admissions processes in the Federal Universities of Minas Gerais Estate

Abstract

The work seeks to reflect on the consolidation of sociology as a disciplinary field, by analyzing how its contents were charged in the admission selection processes to Higher Education. Therefore, we analyzed the evidence of admission of eleven Federal University of Minas Gerais, as well as evidence from the National Survey of Secondary Education - ENEM, from 2009 to 2013. The study was conducted through a qualitative research, by means of the content analysis technique. For operational purposes the analysis of evidence used the categories "dispersed" and "specific" to classify the form of sociology of content found in surveys. During the search there was a slow progression, but gradually the specific contents of sociology in selection processes. Although dispersed manner assumed a more urgent character, knowledge about the thematic content of sociology, particularly in matters relating to disciplines from other areas of the humanities, there is no denying the modest growth of sociology in these spaces.
