Abstract

The research object of this Master dissertation is the formation of the pedagogue. The overall goal is a mapping and content analysis of theses and dissertations on the theme of teacher formation, in the aftermath of the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Pedagogy Course. The students researches were defended between 2008 and 2010, in 17 post-graduate programs in education, accredited by the Coordinating Committee for the Formation of Higher Education Personnel and institutional members of the National Association of Post-Graduate Studies and Research in Education. As its main axes, the theoretical framework uses studies on the formation of the pedagogue, from the setting up the Pedagogy Course, as part of the curriculum guidelines for teacher formation courses in Brazilian universities. These had been established by the federal model in 1939 and were applied until the approval of first CNE/CP Resolution of 15/05/2006, which instituted the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Pedagogy Course. It is also based on the formation policies for pedagogues drawn up after the National Curriculum Guidelines for Pedagogy. It is a qualitative study of a bibliographic nature based on state-of-the-art methodology, combined with a content analysis of 31 studies, of which 7 were theses and 24 dissertations. These works were studied in their entirety in order to draw up analytical or extended summaries according to the Red Latinoamericana de Información y Documentación (Reduc) model. This analysis of 31 student papers resulted in seeing the possibilities and guidelines offered by the authors with regard to the application of the national curriculum guidelines to the Pedagogy Course, such as formation policies for the teacher, researcher and manager promoted by the guidelines. It also resulted in the identification of lacunas which still remain in these analyses of the formation of the pedagogue.
