Course research lines
The Professional Master's in Education focuses on the area of “Teacher Training for Education”. This area of concentration brings together research and work on teacher training and professionalization, from studies on the impact of educational policies and proposals on training to the analysis of educational practices in context. A privileged perspective of these studies is that of school inclusion, focused on students' cognitive and learning processes and on teacher training and practices.
Within that area, the research unfolds in two lines:
Inclusion and Sociocultural Diversity
The projects developed in this line include studies on guidelines, programs and / or proposals for inclusive education, focused on teacher training and practices for inclusive education; in the analysis and development of technological and pedagogical alternatives for educational intervention seeking adaptation to socio-cultural diversity; in history, in the development and specific processes of rural education; e, in the cognitive and learning processes of students. Research in this line is based on the theoretical contributions of Sociology and Educational Psychology. Empirical studies are characterized by a combination of techniques combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis instruments.
Teacher Training and Professional Development
It is intended to address issues related to the initial and continuing training of teachers, from studies on the profession and the constitution of the identity and professionality of teachers. Public policies and proposals for teacher training will be discussed; teaching methodologies and strategies; the production and use of teaching resources for teaching, including the use of new technologies. The investigation of these aspects will have the school institution, teaching practices and concrete teaching-learning situations in Education as sources of study and reflection.
Pedagogical Practices for Equity
This line of research, affiliated with the Stanford University Teacher Education Program (Stanford Teacher Education Program, STEP, in English acronym), is an initiative of the Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Brazil, localizado na Stanford Graduate School of Education, and developed in partnership with Instituto Canoa along with Higher Education Institutions (IES) Brazilian. This partnership counts, currently, with a network of 20 IES, gifts in 10 Brazilian states and has enabled the training of teachers from these institutions and the articulation of a large collaboration network to plan, organize, implement and evaluate a teaching specialization that considers the concrete demands of classrooms, specifically in the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Science. This model is based not only on knowledge of the specific content of the area, but, especially in the pedagogical content, understanding student-centered teaching and learning, classroom management, group work in heterogeneous classrooms for equity, assessment of and for learning and coherent curriculum planning.
The PED curriculum is based on research (National and international) about the most recent practices in teaching and learning Mathematics and Science and is based on the construction of equitable classrooms, having as principles: articulation between theory and practice, joint work between universities and schools of basic education and equity with excellence.
