“Society-Education”. Bibliographical research

Abstract

With the work that here we present, we try to extend and update the field related to the society - education, in the field of the social-education. Specifically, we have realized a bibliographical investigation in which it is explored the written or published in diverse supports on the topic that concerns us. We will begin by defining some general questions as the topic, the problem, the theoretical framework to be used, etc. Next we proceed to exhibit, briefly, the bibliographical investigation previously developed.

The followed procedure has been the following one: the search terms have been detailed – society and education - source consulted and combination of result of search; the temporary limit has been established between January, 2010 and June, 2012; they have been consulted 16 Databases-BD - generals and national BD to avoid the present anglo-saxon bias present in many of the international BD. Next a BD was made in RefWorks with the target to analyze more comfortably every individual record. Finally, we proceeded to the elimination of duplicates and of not-relevant publications, choosing the most informative reference in each case.

The BD have been classified taking into account the following criteria: subject-matters (ERA, ERIC, IBSS, PsycINFO, ProQuest Sociology, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, Social Work Abstracts and REDINED), multidisciplinary (Academic Search Premier, Dialnet, E-Journals ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Database, ProQuest Research Library and Web of Science) and collective catalogs (REBIUN). In the results a whole of 9.388 references, that we had to simplify this by reason of brevity.
