Programming brings together international seminar, scientific congresses and actions aimed at training teachers and students in basic education
The University of Taubaté (UNITAU) perform, between the days 20 e 23 of May, a series of academic and scientific activities aimed at integration between universities, schools and community. The program is part of the “University–School Integration: Training and Scientific Cycle in Basic Education”, organized by the Professional Master's Program in Education (MPE/UNITAU) within PROEXT-PG actions. Registration must be made at unitau.me/4tkCEWw.
The proposal seeks to bring scientific production closer to the reality of schools, strengthening the relationship between postgraduate, basic education and community. In practice, the project carries out research, debates and academic experiences into everyday school life, while bringing the demands of basic education to the university environment.
The program brings together different academic and scientific actions, such as the VI International Education Seminar, the VII Meeting of Graduates, the 5th Meeting of Pedagogical Practices in Basic Education, the 1st Scientific Initiation Congress of the UNITAU Application College and the 2nd Monteiro Lobato Scientific Initiation Congress (CICMON).
One of the highlights is the strengthening of scientific initiation since basic education, encouraging primary and secondary school students to develop critical thinking, autonomy and contact with academic culture from an early age.
The event will also feature international lectures and debates on education, science, technology and society. Among the guests are Prof.. Dr. Steven F. Butterman, from Miami University, with the lecture “What does queer have to do with it?: the QueerMuseum in the classroom”, and researchers Michael LaRosa and José Carlos Sebe Bom Meihy, in a round table on Latin America and education.
Another important axis of the programming is the valorization of teacher training and innovative pedagogical practices, with spaces aimed at sharing experiences between teachers, researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The initiative reinforces the proposal of a university connected to society and aligned with contemporary education demands, promoting inclusion, pedagogical innovation, strengthening education networks and integration between teaching, research and extension.
According to the event proposal, the action also strengthens UNITAU as a space for articulation between basic education, scientific research and social transformation, expanding the impact of academic activities on the community.
The program dialogues directly with the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) United Nations Organization (HIM), especially the SDG 4 – Quality Education, by promoting inclusive training, scientific production and strengthening public education and teacher training.
