- Graduate Program in the Teaching of Science and Mathematics
Program Overview
The program integrates the courses of Professional Master’s Degree, Academic Master’s Degree and Academic Doctorate Degree. These courses, based on their research lines, aim to develop and improve educational skills and practices, from the perspective of professional teaching development.
The courses develop research on the organization and innovation in the teachingof science and mathematics and their repercussions on the school curriculum of elementary and high school, and higher education, with the aim of improving the teaching and learning processes.
Objectives
The Academic Master’s Degree aims to:
General
- Educate teachers of Science, Mathematics and Pedagogy (Grammar School) to workon elementary and high school, and university level, as well as to develop research. In addition, it seeks to contribute for the development coordination and planning in schools.
Specifics
- Enable teachers in the areas of Science, Mathematics and Pedagogy (Grammar School) to conduct research on the teaching learning process and the content taught in Grammar School and at university course, in line with the research lines available.
- Contribute for the construction of a theoretical and methodological support, which may offer pedagogical and scientific consistency to the critical apprehension of the school practice exercised by the teacher in his professional locus, to allow him/her to build products for the qualification of the teaching and learning process.
- Explore contemporary educational approaches anchored in Independent Learning, which may enable teachers to face the challenges of a society where innovationis central, by means of transformative technologies for the teaching of Science and Mathematics.
The Professional Master’s Degree aims to:
General
- Enable teachers who work in elementary and high schools and in the college courses of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Pedagogy, for the deepening of studies and the proposition of alternatives for the qualification of teaching in the social context.
Specifics
- Offer professionals with a teaching degree in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics the opportunity for in-depthstudies and research related to the curricular contents taught in elementary and high school and undergraduate courses in the subject areas.
- Contribute for the construction of a theoretical and methodological support forthe raising of a pedagogical and scientific consistency in the critical understanding of school practice exercised by the teacher in his professional locus.
- Provide, through the curricular components of the Course, professional trainingin the teaching area, in order to develop the integration among curricular contents, learning theories, teaching methodologies derived from update dliterature and communication technologies, conceptions and modalities of learning assessment, and methods and techniques appropriate for the teaching of Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
The Doctorate Degree aims to:
General
- Providethe education of professionals who may meet the demands of research articulated with the area at different educational levels for the enhancement of the production of knowledge in the research lines.
Specifics
- Qualify professionals who may be able to improve the educational systems of theregion and the country, with a highlight of their importance for social development.
- Consolidate the research culture in the area, with the participation of professors from other institutions in academic and research activities proposed by the program.
- Enable professionals to conduct research in the process of teaching and learning and on contents taught at Grammar School and undergraduate courses in the areas of Science, Mathematics and Pedagogy, as well as to make use of the theoretical concepts and tools for teaching practice.
- Enable professionals, by means of the integration between contents and thecreation and investigation of pedagogical proposals that address classroom needs in elementary and higher education.
- Explore contemporary educational approaches anchored in Independent Learning, which may generate innovative professionals who are able to use of transformative technologies.

Lines of research
The research of this line focus on initial, continuing and in-service teaching, at different levels and educational spacesin which Science and Mathematics teachers work, with reference to the relationship between the personal-professional aspects of training, as well as the knowledge and specific skills of the fields of Science and Mathematics forthe constitution of teaching. Teacher education is understood as a process of social nature, that involves interpersonal activities which include the subjects who are preparing to become teachers (initial education) and those whoare already engaged in the teaching profession (continuing education and in-service).
This line investigates the trajectories of teacher and student formation, in what involves the construction of pedagogical knowledge and practices; the process of mediation and interaction in the classroom; teaching and learning how to teach; the production of specific and professional, academic, school knowledge in Science and Mathematics. Its purpose is the acquisition, development and improvement of educational skills and practices, from the perspective of professional teaching development.

This line develops interdisciplinary research on the organization and innovation in the teaching of Science and Mathematics and its repercussion in the school curriculum of elementary and high school, and university. It aims at improving the teaching and learning process. Among the approaches for the teaching of Science and Mathematics are mathematical modeling, problem solving, error analysis, the use of games and instructional materials, and the use of area-specific software. It also develops research on theoretical and practical aspects of Information and Communication Technologies by integrating communication languages and exploring the potential of educational material repositories. Within the scope of these studies, the line deepens theoretical aspects of these methodological approaches, so that their use is anchored in recent research in the area of the teaching of Science and Mathematics.
