Tecendo fios sobre a formação pedagógica de professores universitários

Abstract

This article is an excerpt of a master's dissertation defended in 2014 in the Graduate Program in Education at the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS), where most of the teachers surveyed showed gaps in teacher training for the exercise of university teaching, aspect that triggered motivation for our studies in this field of knowledge. In this sense, the objective of this study is to understand the context and scenarios of pedagogical training to university professor. The debate on the issue was based on a theoretical exam that uses the formulations and discussions around the characteristics of university teaching having as theoretical support the studies of Selma Garrido Pimenta; Maurice Tardif; Isabel Cunha, Isabel Almeida, Ilma Passos, among others, reference authors who proposes a reflection on the teacher professionalization. The methodology comprises a bibliographical and documentary study of exploratory a qualitative perspective. The paper is organized from four axes: 1. Characterization of teaching in the university context; 2. The legal framework of inclusion of professionals in this educational segment; 3. The teacher training in some institutional experiences and; 4. The thematic approach to the production of dissertations and theses in the last five years. We conclude that, despite the progress identified in the institutional experiences and academic productions, still finds among teachers pedagogical training deficit needed to pursue university teaching, lacking greater investment in research and institutional initiatives aimed at consolidation of professionalization policies.
