Programas de pós-graduação em educação na modalidade profissional: desafios e perspectivas de contribuição para a educação básica

Abstract

This text discusses the challenges and contribution perspectives of the Stricto Sensu postgraduate course in Education for Basic Education. The article uses various documentary sources from institutions and official departments and works with information from a local reality, with data from a Postgraduate Program in Education that has been offering the Professional Master's Degree in Education since 2019. From the productions developed by the graduates of the course, from the data raised in the consulted documentation and in the history of the professional modality, the text argues that the main contribution of these programs is with the formation of teachers. However, the distinction of this training is given by its centrality in scientific research, which gives it the potential to transform the reality in which its actors, Basic Education professionals, are inserted.
