POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION
History
The Graduate Program in Education (PPGEd) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Campina Grande campus , is the result of more than 35 years of experience in teaching, research and extension of the Academic Education Unit (UAEd), whose creation precedes the very institution of UFCG. UAEd has wide participation and leadership in Basic Education and Higher Education in the Northeast region, being one of the pioneers, in Brazil, to offer in the Pedagogy course the training of teachers to work in the early years of elementary school.
In this sense, the Academic Master's is characterized by theoreticalmethodological deepening in two lines of research: a) Educational History, Policy and Management; b) Educational Practices and Diversity. These Lines seek to meet, jointly, the commitment to the critical production of knowledge and the ethical-academic training of educators and researchers, aiming to contribute to the understanding and transformation of the Brazilian socio-educational reality, especially at the regional level.
Having research as a formative principle, our Academic Master's aims to train professionals who favor the construction and reconstruction of knowledge in the area of education with autonomy, with the ability to critically analyze and understand different educational contexts and who promote the articulation between production and the dissemination of knowledge, axes considered fundamental to the intervention in reality itself.
Goals
The PPGEd aims to:
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Promote postgraduate training in education at the master's level, dedicated to critical knowledge production and ethical academic training of educators and researchers, in order to contribute to the transformation of the Brazilian socioeducational reality.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To train critical professionals with solid theoretical-methodological and didacticpedagogical foundations in the field to work in basic and higher education, in its phases and teaching modalities, as well as in other educational areas;
Promote studies and research in the field of educational history, policy and administration, with the aim of verticalizing knowledge about the social condition of schools, public policies and their impact on basic and higher education;
Promote studies and research on educational practices, diversity, and inequalities with the goal of deepening knowledge of socioeconomic, cultural, ethno-racial, generational, and gender dimensions at the national and regional levels in school and out-of-school contexts;
Contribute to the debate and elaboration of alternatives for the improvement of basic and higher education in Brazil, in the Northeast and in Paraíba, through research and actions developed under the program.
Area of concentration
The PPGEd's area of concentration is education, which includes research related to school processes in their multiple aspects [historical, political, pedagogical, social, and (inter)cultural], especially in relation to the school and the school system, and also focuses on studies that address education in its non-formal dimension, with a strong dialog between education and related fields.
Lines of Research
Line 1: Educational History, Policy and Management
It includes studies and research related to the social constitution of the school, history, educational policy and management, and teacher education, taking into account the relations between the state and society in the processes of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of educational policies and their impact on the management and organization of teaching, schools, levels and modalities of provision and teaching activities.
Line 2: Educational Practices and Diversity
This line includes studies and research on educational practices, socioeconomic, cultural, ethno-racial, generational, and gender differences and inequities at the national and regional levels, in school and out-of-school contexts. It addresses studies of practices, representations, and social identities; linguistic and literary practices; and new technologies in education.
Structure
The Academic Master's Course in Education is taught on a credit basis, with each credit representing 15 hours of instruction. The curricular structure of the master's includes a total of 28 credits, divided into:
08 credits for common required subjects;
12 credits for electives;
04 credits for research seminars in each research line;
04 credits for the dissertation.
The compulsory subjects (DO) must be taken by all students in the program and aim to provide common knowledge about Brazilian education and the production of knowledge, focusing on education and the integration and academic experience of master's students in education.
Mandatory subjects of the course are: Brazilian Education (4 credits) and Research and Education (4 credits). The research seminars (4 credits) are offered by Line and are designed to provide theoretical and methodological delineation of ongoing research. Two sets of research seminars are offered in the second semester of each academic year, composed of master's students and the professor(s) responsible for each line. This curricular component relies on the participation of researchers from UFCG and other universities, who can contribute to the analysis of the processes of knowledge production in the different topics of research in development and allow the exchange of experiences between professors and doctoral students in education.
Elective subjects (ED), in turn, are subjects that are included in the curriculum and can be chosen by doctoral students with the consent of the supervisor. This is a list of subjects offered periodically by the PPGEd, and the student must complete at least three subjects in this modality, for a total of 12 credits. These subjects aim at deepening the studies related to the topics studied in the dissertation and to address the areas of interest of the master's student. Equivalent subjects may be taken in other graduate programs in education or similar fields, provided they are recommended by CAPES and agreed upon with the master's student's advisor.
