Journal History

The Movimento - Education Journal, of the Faculty of Education and the Graduate Program in Education  originated  in the Newsletter,  and was published in May 1970. The  Bulletin aimed to inform and integrate teachers, students and administrative staff around the structural and technical-pedagogical changes resulting from University Reform of 1968. The broad acceptance and repercussion of the Bulletin in  the academic community motivated the creation, in 1971 of the Journal of the Faculty of Education. Organized by teachers who worked, mostly, at the undergraduate level, the  Journal continued the Bulletin for its character, also informative.

It is also in the 1970s that the Graduate Program in Education/UFF-Master's was implemented, which gradually modified the character of the Journal of the Faculty of Education in the perspective of  an academic-scientific journal, aiming not only to expose and discuss issues related to the educational area and contribute to the formation of mentality clarified in education, but also disseminate issues that contribute to the scientific renewal of pedagogical work and activities developed by the Faculty of Education of the Fluminense Federal University (FEUFF). However, it was only in the second semester of 1982 that the Graduate Degree in Education was part of the production of the Journal of the Faculty, aiming to "disseminate the unprecedented part of the scientific production of teachers of the Master's Course.

With a monographic nature and free distribution, the Journal  counted, from its genesis until 2009, with the support of the UFF Publishing Company (EdUFF) for printing and binding. With the creation of the Program to Support the Acquisition of Journals (PAAP), by CAPES, in 1995, the Journal of the Faculty of  Education,recognized for the scientific-academic contribution benefited from financial resources that were transferred to universities and other higher education institutions for the editing, printing and publication of  journals on paper support.

In the same year of 2000, when CAPES creates the Journal Portal (http://www.periodicos.capes.gov.br/  ) and approves the PAAP Regulation and the Rules for the Use of Electronic Publications available in the said Portal, the Journal of the Faculty of Education has its name changed to  Movimento- education journal of the faculty of education of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro  and, from the year 2014 passes the publication exclusively electronic.

Since then, the Graduate Program in Education - Master and Doctorate, through its Collegiate, recognizes the Movimento- education journal of the Faculty of Education as an organic journal of the Program due to its institutional trajectory that differs from others, within the scope of FEUFF, which originated and developed according to the specificities of research groups and study centers.

In this perspective, her nomenclature is modified to Movimento- education journal of the graduate program and the faculty of education of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, according to capes editorial policy that has in qualis an instrument for the stratification of the quality of intellectual production of graduate programs.
