Inventory of Brazilian research groups in historical-cultural theory from the Diretório de Grupos/CNPq

Abstract

This document aims to present a list of 115 research groups located in the investigation entitled “Historical-Cultural Psychology in Brazilian research: survey of research groups registered in the CNPq directory”. The general objective of the research was to investigate the insertion of Historical-Cultural Psychology or Historical-Cultural Theory within the scope of scientific research in Brazil, in research groups that formally indicate it as guiding the work. One of our specific objectives, the result of which is contained in this document, was to identify research groups registered in the Research Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisa do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (DGP-CNPq) that pointed to Psychology or Historical-Cultural Theory as an assumed theoretical reference. It is understood that the presentation of the gross research result, which were the 115 groups located, can constitute an important source for other investigations on the Historical-Cultural Theory in Brazil, as well as facilitating scientific exchange and dissemination between groups.
