Análise dos saberes pedagógicos em egressos da pós-graduação stricto-sensu em Administração da UFBA

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the stricto sensu postgraduate courses in Administration of the NPGA UFBA (Academic Doctorate, Academic Master's and Professional Master's) for graduates, with regard to the development of pedagogical knowledge for teaching. This is an ex post, hypothetical-deductive research with a quantitative approach. The methodological steps performed were the literature review, which had as keywords teacher training, pedagogical knowledge and evaluation of graduates; conception of the conceptual and operational model of the research relating variables, hypotheses and statistical techniques; elaboration and application of the data collection questionnaire through the Survey Monkey tool, with the graduates of the courses; treatment and analysis of the data obtained. The questionnaire included questions related to the domain of "Pedagogical Knowledge", an analytical cut of the "Teacher Knowledge" scale by Dos Santos (2019), considered an important theoretical and methodological contribution to this study, and questions, of an authorial nature, that cover the perception of the graduates regarding the contribution of the course carried out in the development of pedagogical knowledge. 160 responses were obtained and the results suggest that the graduates recognize a positive contribution of the course carried out at NPGA UFBA, for the development of pedagogical knowledge. However, no statistically significant differences were detected between the average values obtained in the courses indicating similar perceptions among the graduates. In the same way, it is noteworthy that the graduates of the Professional Master's had the highest percentages of interest in the academic career, teaching performance and higher levels of pedagogical knowledge, compared to the graduates of the Academic Master's. Finally, it is expected that this research has contributed theoretically, methodologically and technologically to the discussions about the contribution of stricto sensu postgraduate courses in Administration at the NPGA UFBA, in the teacher training of its graduates, more specifically, in the development of pedagogical knowledge.
