Caracterização da produção científica na área de inovação pedagógica do curso de doutorado da Universidade da Madeira

Abstract

Since 2003, the existence of a line of research in Pedagogical Innovation at the Education Research Center of the University of Madeira, has made it possible to expand scientific production in this area. After that time, there is an urgent need to systematize the identity aspects, the epistemological elements and good practices recognized as innovative for the field of pedagogy and Education. This article presents the Pedagogical Innovation project: Identity, Theory and Practices (IPITP) and characterizes the scientific production in the Pedagogical Innovation area of the PhD course at the University of Madeira (PT). We conclude that the researchers are mostly female and of Brazilian nationality. The most investigated themes are those that have a greater relationship with the school space and make evident the presence of cultural invariants that hinder pedagogical innovation. The knowledge derived from these researches shows the perfusion between theory and practice well combined with the descriptive research method used.
