During the days 4, 5 e 6 August 2025 the XI meeting of the Forum of Professional Programs in Education -FOMPE took place, headquartered by UFRN – Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, in which representatives from all universities in Brazil that have a Professional Master's Degree in Education were invited to debate the direction of Stricto Sensu in the professional modality in Education.
Representing the University of Taubaté - UNITAU the professors Profa. Dr. Juliana Marcondes Bussolotti and Profa. Dr. Suzana Lopes Salgado Ribeiro, current coordinator and deputy coordinator of the Professional Master's in Education – MPE-UNITAU.
Over the three days, considerations were made about the advances and achievements of professional master's degrees. The event was attended and had the opportunity for dialogue by the coordinators of the CAPES Education Area, Angelo Ricardo de Souza, area coordinator, and Nonato Assis de Miranda, assistant coordinator of Professional Programs.
The programs present participated with regional proposals on educational activities and the social impact of professional programs in Education, aiming to outline perspectives for the(as) researchers(as) in the relationship between the university, educational reality and four-year assessment.
So, the event provided a space for reflection and dialogue about the challenges of professional programs in Education. I highlight the importance of events like this to strengthen teaching, research and highlight the specificity of professional programs in our country. The opportunity to talk with other coordinators from different programs and with the two area coordinators about the directions of the Sucupira-CAPES evaluation process is of great value for planning the actions of our Professional Master's in Education – UNITAU
Following, during the days 7 e 8 August 2025, we were able to participate, at the same university, from MOSTRE3 – Object Show, Technologies and Educational Resources for Special Education. The event brought together teachers from the area of Special Education, undergraduate and postgraduate students, in addition to professionals working in the field. The objective of the event was to promote dialogue and dissemination of ongoing and completed scientific research, as well as presenting innovative educational objects.
Participation in this event reinforces the relevance of research in the area of Special Education and highlights the importance of spaces like this to stimulate dialogue, the exchange of knowledge and the development of innovative pedagogical practices.
