Formação, adoecimento e cura: a experiência discente na pós-graduação stricto sensu na UFBA

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the set "formation, illness and cure" of students in the stricto sensu graduate course at UFBA. Qualitative research with bias in Implicated Ethnopesearch was used for the study, focusing on experiential and (auto) biographical studies by the author and participating social actors. For the analysis of the reports and writings, we opted for “sensitive listening” (BARBIER, 1990) through interviews and questionnaires. In addition, it was proposed to write letters to reveal the phenomenon through the written word. These analyzes of the reports and writings of the social actors, were based on Hermeneutics with a focus on “analysis of understandings”. Participated in the study, students who have already completed their research or were still with their studies in progress between masters / masters, doctors / doctoral students. The study of the phenomenon of illness and healing in the context of post-graduate training stricto sensu, revealed the complexity of training due to a system "swamped" with bureaucracies and imposed processes, creating a "cascade effect" of extreme demands that lead to illness of the students in addition to the others involved with graduate school. The cure, each one finds in a way, but the Science being benefited through scientific research is revealed with a form of cure by the social actors. It was revealed at the end of the study that dialogues are needed in this sense, so that the scientific research carried out in our Postgraduate Programs can contribute significantly and, mainly, that it does not affect the health of the actors that are part of the process, for the growth of Science in the country.
