Information

The Graduate Program Stricto Sensu in Education, from the Catholic University of Brasília (UCB), was conceived based on structural assumptions of modern societies, especially Brazilian society. What stands out is the increasing prioritization of educational research and policies with a view to the progressive improvement of the quality required by the different modernization processes under way in the country, whose complexity requires professionals with a programmatic, interdisciplinary and intersectoral vision.

The Graduate Program in Education defined its centrality taking into account the various instances of educational management and the various subjects of education, especially those segments historically left behind in the country's history, as well as the different educational processes and methodologies, especially communication technologies; and the education projects and policies, inserted in the context of the current social, economic and political changes taking place at the national and international levels.

With a score of 4 from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the Graduate Program Stricto Sensu in Education aims at training researchers and education professionals. Graduated masters and doctorates can pursue research scientist careers and/or teaching careers at different levels, work in social or business institutions in the preparation and development of research projects in education, in educational management, and in the formulation and analysis of public policies, at the executive, advisory or consulting levels.

The areas of concentration are driven by three lines of research: Education Policy, Management, and Evaluation; Educational Process and Teacher Training; Education, Technology, and Communication.

Educational Process and Teacher Training

Research and training, through the foundations of education, of themes related to different dimensions of the teaching and learning process, of the initial and continuing education of teachers, of pedagogical theories and practices at the different levels and modalities of education.

Education Policy, Management, and Evaluation

Investigation of the formulation, implementation, management and evaluation of policies, programs and projects in the area of education, at their different levels and modalities. Studies of the cultural and communicational contexts of educational policies and management, within the scope of the Federal Government, the States, the Federal District, and the municipalities. Comparative studies between national and international education systems.

Education, Technology and Communication

Articulation of the relations between youth, technology and communication within the framework of educational processes in various contexts of society, whether they are school environments or those aimed at human coexistence. Themes related to educational and social inclusion, to youth protagonists and sociabilities, to social innovation and to the multiple learning enabled by educational, communication and media technologies, as well as to diverse cultural expressions, especially those that cultivate cultures of peace.

The program was created in 1994, beginning its activities with the master's degree and, starting in 2009, with the doctorate. In those 25 years of experience, I graduated 559 masters and 70 doctors. In addition to this specific action, in Stricto Sensu there was a commitment to the development of research projects, an involvement with graduate education and extension, in order to make the Program a reference in the teaching-learning process and in social responsibility.

In 2008, an interinstitutional partnership began, mainly through the creation of the UNESCO Chair: Education, Youth and Society, and with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul working with children and adolescents in situations of psychosocial risk. In 2009, a research partnership on teacher education began with the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC/SP) in the context of the PROCAD program of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).

Also noteworthy is the internationalization process of the Program, through the participation of a research network, including the University of Minho (Portugal), Federico Vilarreal University (Peru), University of Urbana, Champaign (USA) and Universidad del Valle (Colombia), as well as the participation of the International Forum on Transdisciplinarity and Ecoformation in Practice: Seeking Innovation and Teaching Creativity. Research is also being carried out in the area of Social Pedagogy, in partnership with the University of Siegen, Germany and Sanna Hyynänen, from the University of Tampere, Finland. Intensive internationalization work also took place with the University of Alberta and Ottawa, in Canada, through the exchange of teachers and students.

Area of Concentration: EDUCATION

The Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in Education, at the Master's and Doctorate level, at the Catholic University of Brasília, was designed based on structural assumptions of modern societies, especially Brazilian society. Among these assumptions, the increasing prioritization of research and educational policies with a view to the progressive improvement of the quality required by the different modernization processes under way in the country, whose complexity requires professionals with a programmatic, interdisciplinary and intersectoral vision, is highlighted.

In this way, the Graduate Program in Education defined its centrality, taking into account the various instances of educational management and the various subjects of education, especially those segments historically left out of the country's history; as well as the different educational processes and methodologies, especially communication technologies; and, the education projects and policies, inserted in the context of the current social, economic and political changes taking place at the national and international levels.

The concentration area is therefore energized by the three lines of research: Educational Process and Teacher Training; Education Policy, Management, and Evaluation; Education, Technology, and Communication, which are interpenetrated by dialogue and integrated studies, with the objective of providing future teachers and doctors with the indispensable competence to program, develop, or participate in actions and reflections in the area of education.

Research

The Graduate Program in Education at UCB seeks to develop in an integrated manner the relationship between areas of concentration, lines of research, groups, projects, and disciplines. Master and doctoral students in the Program normally link to this structure with their individual research projects, which are generally part of a larger project developed by the advisor. In other words, each professor in the Program coordinates and/or participates in one or more Lattes research groups, registered with the CNPq and participates and/or coordinates research projects, in which their advisors participate by developing subprojects, which are transformed into published works such as articles, books, chapters, and complete works from national and international conference proceedings.

Many of our research activities have external funding from national and international organizations. Several of the research activities of the Master in Education are carried out in partnership with renowned universities in Brazil and abroad, in addition to national and international institutions. Our most frequent partnerships include UNESCO, University of Aveiro (Portugal), CNPq, FAP-DF, CAPES and University of Barcelona, among others.
