Appreciation

The Graduate Program in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (PPGECMT) of UDESC’s Center for Technological Sciences is a continuing formation program for teachers that work with basic and/or higher education levels, as well as for those who already hold a degree in science, mathematics and technology education. The program’s faculty includes professors from the departments of physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer sciences. The Professional Master’s program (stricto sensu) was approved by CAPES in 2015.

General goal and Specific goals - look

Fields of study and areas of research:

I - Educational Practices and Learning Processes in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education

II - Teacher Formation in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education

III - Inclusive education in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, and its educational demands in different contexts

Program Differentials (Strengths):

• The faculty members of the PPGECMT are experienced and qualified professionals with diverse formation, consistently fostering technical-scientific production and the formation of human resources in the field of Science, Mathematics, and Technology.
• The researches conducted in the PPGECMT aim at professional improvement in the field of Science, Mathematics, and Technology through theoretical-conceptual, theoretical-methodological, and practical-pedagogical studies and reflections, significantly contributing for narrowing the theory/practice gap.
• The Professional Master’s program of the PPGECMT provides and enhances the importance of the necessary and continuous professional improvement of teachers in service and/or recently graduated, fostering the production of knowledge and the performance of critical reflections on pedagogical practices.
