POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION
History
The Graduate Program in Education (PPGEd) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Campina Grande campus , is the result of more than 35 years of experience in teaching, research and extension of the Academic Education Unit (UAEd), whose creation precedes the very institution of UFCG. UAEd has wide participation and leadership in Basic Education and Higher Education in the Northeast region, being one of the pioneers, in Brazil, to offer in the Pedagogy course the training of teachers to work in the early years of elementary school.
In this sense, the Academic Master's is characterized by theoreticalmethodological deepening in two lines of research: a) Educational History, Policy and Management; b) Educational Practices and Diversity. These Lines seek to meet, jointly, the commitment to the critical production of knowledge and the ethical-academic training of educators and researchers, aiming to contribute to the understanding and transformation of the Brazilian socio-educational reality, especially at the regional level.
Having research as a formative principle, our Academic Master's aims to train professionals who favor the construction and reconstruction of knowledge in the area of education with autonomy, with the ability to critically analyze and understand different educational contexts and who promote the articulation between production and the dissemination of knowledge, axes considered fundamental to the intervention in reality itself.
Goals
The PPGEd aims to:
MAIN OBJECTIVE

Area of concentration
The PPGEd's area of concentration is education, which includes research related to school processes in their multiple aspects [historical, political, pedagogical, social, and (inter)cultural], especially in relation to the school and the school system, and also focuses on studies that address education in its non-formal dimension, with a strong dialog between education and related fields.
Lines of Research
Line 1: Educational History, Policy and Management
It includes studies and research related to the social constitution of the school, history, educational policy and management, and teacher education, taking into account the relations between the state and society in the processes of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of educational policies and their impact on the management and organization of teaching, schools, levels and modalities of provision and teaching activities.
Line 2: Educational Practices and Diversity
This line includes studies and research on educational practices, socioeconomic, cultural, ethno-racial, generational, and gender differences and inequities at the national and regional levels, in school and out-of-school contexts.
