In 1978 it came to be known as “Revista do Centro de Educação” (Education Center’s Journal), and later on, in 1982, its name changed to “Revista Educação” (Education Journal) and it began working with semiannual publication. In these 44 years it marks its uninterrupted and successful trajectory, being ranked, nowadays, B1 in the educational field, with quarterly publications since 2008. This periodic publishes about 45 papers per year and, since 2000, it is also available in its online version (www.ufsm.br/revistaeducacao).
