Na trilha da inovação: a formação do professor e as implicações com os produtos educacionais

Abstract

The present research investigated teacher training through the perspective of innovation and its implications with regards to educational products derived from the thesis presented on Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching programs in Brazil. It pervades the professional qualification in the process for continued teacher training through stricto sensu graduate programs, more specifically those for the Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching, which has as its premise the articulation between professional practice and scientific knowledge, aiming at solving problems related to teaching and, as a result, creating an educational product. The chosen locus was academic programs for Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching, having as research subjects the educational products resulting from these programs, as well as educational businesses that have also resulted from them. Its timeline starts from 2010 and continues through 2015, a time period in which the first professional master’s programs were implemented in Brazil. To consolidate the research, the qualitative method was used, with an investigative character pervaded by a quantitative approach, in which bibliometrics were applied. For this research, national scientific databases such as SciElo and CAPES were surveyed, which allowed for initial considerations regarding the mapping of scientific production related to educational products resulting from Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching programs. In order to sustain the construction of this research, a documental survey was performed with regards to the educational policies related to the implementation of professional master’s programs in Brazil, as well as its legal documentation. Afterwards, the data collected with alumni from Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching programs were also surveyed. The educational product of this study aims at serving as an auxiliary in the elaboration process of educational products developed by students in Professional Master’s Degree in Teaching courses. For such a purpose to be fulfilled, it suggests tools for business modeling which are focused on problem solving and on its users, taking into consideration approaches such as Design Thinking, Value Proposition Canvas, and Minimum Viable Product, applied to educational purposes.
