Monitoring the training path of students and the professional trajectory of graduates completing the FE/UNICAMP postgraduate program
The proposal to monitor the educational path of students in the FE/UNICAMP graduate program (PPGE) emphasizes the characterization of new students and the monitoring of their educational experiences in the PPGE, as well as the analysis of the professional trajectories of graduates who complete this program. This project is justified by the need for the PPGE to know who the student is who enters the graduate program, in addition to verifying the impact of its pedagogical proposal on the training of researchers and on the personal and academic development of its students and analyzing the conditions that favor the completion of the program. In addition, it is unique that the evaluation and monitoring actions of any political-pedagogical project are not restricted to the training period, but that they encompass the implications of the intentionality of the educational actions in the professional trajectories of graduate students. To this end, monitoring graduates who complete the PPGE is another axis of this proposal.
The project is justified by the importance of knowing and characterizing the postgraduate students who begin their training at the PPGE, in order to build a pedagogical proposal that takes into account their characteristics and specificities. In addition, it is important to monitor the training process of PPGE students to support studies, analyses, reviews and reformulations of their political-pedagogical project. In addition, the rapid transformations experienced in contemporary society that have impacted educational practices and the production of knowledge make it urgent for educational institutions to analyze the training paths experienced by students in order to verify how the intentional set of educational actions comes to life in the daily routine of postgraduate studies. Monitoring the professional careers of PPGE graduates is also essential to broaden the program's ties with society, by understanding its challenges and new demands and needs to provide support for the construction of a political-pedagogical project that addresses new requirements for researcher training, based on a political positioning that is consistent with the defense of equity and inclusion in education, that recognizes education as a social right and the importance of knowledge production in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Furthermore, studying graduates is unique for planning academic activities, for institutional evaluation, and for meeting the requirements of CAPES' Quadrennial evaluation.
Objectives:
Build a program to monitor the trajectories and training experiences of students and the professional careers of graduates completing the PPGE.
Specifically, this project aims to:
. Describe the profile of the postgraduate student at the PPGE, taking as reference: gender, age, ethnicity, place of residence, schooling and professional experiences prior to training at the PPGE;
. Describe the educational path of PPGE students, highlighting the experiences lived during the postgraduate program, the receipt of scholarships and grants and work activities;
. Describe the contributions perceived by students, resulting from their studies in the PPGE, for their personal, academic and research development.
. Identify the conditions described by students as favorable to the completion of the dissertation or thesis project;
. To describe the professional trajectory of graduates of the PPGE, as well as their perception of the contributions and limits of the PPGE for their professional trajectory.
Responsible:
This program will be under the responsibility of the PPGE coordination and will have the contribution of professors Prof. Dr. Cristiane Machado and Prof. Dr. Camila Fior.
Actors involved:
Monitoring the students' educational path will involve awareness-raising actions by the PPGE Coordination and the coordinators of the Research Lines. The work will be planned, implemented and evaluated with the participation of student representatives from the PPGE Postgraduate Association. The main actors involved in this project are the students and graduates who have completed the PPGE, who will be available to contribute to these investigations.
For the management, access and monitoring of information in other databases: Alumni, Lattes Platform and RAIS, we will have the support of PPGE servers and BAS scholarship holders.
Action Strategies:
- Discussion and improvement of the proposal with the CPG and APG;
- Project Preparation and Submission to the Ethics Committee;
- Implementation of a form to collect data from new entrants;
- Encouragement for students to continually update their personal data on PPGE, join the Alumni Platform and constantly update their Lattes CV.
- Request for institutional authorization and implementation of a data collection form with the SIGA system, when requesting the Defense of a Master's Dissertation or Doctoral Thesis.
- Creation of a form to collect data from graduates, highlighting the training path, perceptions about the program's contribution, and consent for the use of personal data (CPF) for consultation on the RAIS Platform.
- Survey of the bibliographic production of graduates completing the PPGE.
- Creation of a form to monitor graduates and collect data from them over a period of 5 and 10 years after the end of the program;
- Collection of information on the professional and scientific trajectory of the graduating graduate on the Lattes Platform and the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS);
- Organization of the FE/UNICAMP Thesis and Dissertation Seminar and contact with graduates to participate in this activity;
- Joint analysis of all information collected.
Goals 1: Know the profile of 100% of PPGE students
Indicators: Student data: Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Place of Residence, Schooling experience prior to entering the PPGE, Professional experience prior to entering the PPGE.
Goals 2: To learn about the training path taken by 70% of PPGE students, with an emphasis on experiences in PPGE, time taken to complete the work, receipt of scholarships/aid and other experiences: work, internationalization
Indicators:
- Description of experiences lived:
- Participation in mandatory subjects and scheduled research activities;
- Presence and engagement in research groups;
- Involvement in scientific events;
- Participation in teaching internship;
- Student's academic production;
- Orientation activities;
- Receiving scholarships and grants;
- Involvement in other experiences outside the program;
- Internationalization experiences.
Assessment: the project's actions and objectives will be evaluated annually.
