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

The general goal of this program is to promote professional formation in science, mathematics and technology education. The training is conducted through the study and discussion of theoretical, conceptual, methodological, pedagogical and practical matters.
 

Specific goals

• To create an environment that is adequate for developing studies that seek to diagnose, investigate and propose both strategic and pedagogical resources that help overcoming education challenges in the realm of science, mathematics and technology.
• To contribute with the formation of teachers who care for and value their professional development and that seek to work more accurately when mediating teaching and learning processes.
• To give opportunities for conceptual, historical, philosophical and epistemological scrutiny about scientific knowledge (in science, mathematics and technology), as well as for establishing relations between theoretical knowledge and daily knowledge in the context of education.
• To train students of the Master’s program for the elaboration and use of different teaching resources which are based in innovative pedagogical perspectives.
• To improve and structure an environment that is proper for the production of research and knowledge with educational products that are specific to the disciplines of science, mathematics and technology.

Profile of the professionals that graduate in this program

The students that complete the Master’s Program in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education will be able to:

• Work in conscious and analytic approaches, which are based in the use of innovative pedagogical resources and perspectives within each specific field of knowledge (science, mathematics and technology) and level of activity (basic education, higher education and non-formal contexts).
• Acknowledge and establish relations between the scientific knowledge and its teaching and learning possibilities, thus promoting theoretical, conceptual and pedagogical analysis and propositions.
• Map, limit, evaluate and propose solutions for educational problems related to one’s teaching activity and to the pedagogical resources and strategies adopted.
• Research, comprehend and produce knowledge in the realm of science, mathematics and technology education.
