ABSTRACT:
The objective of this article is to characterize publications on the current practices for extending the school day in Brazil. From the mapping of written production on the subject - in chapters of books and articles published in indexed periodicals of the educational area produced between 2006 and 2014 -, arguments have been found ranging between those used to justify the full-time school proposals in progress in the Brazilian public school education to those seeking and the ones that challenge alleged uncritical adherences to educational reforms.
