Abstract
Educational Product and Technical-Technological Product constitute a specificity of postgraduate programs in the professional modality, a product that must be carefully evaluated by the programs and recorded on platforms of evaluating bodies. In 2019, a working group from the teaching area was assembled to create a Validation Form for these products. Thus, this article aims to present a proposal for improving this Validation Form for Educational/Technical-Technological Products, based on reflections treated in scientific articles and scientific events from the area, focusing on the relevance and need for this type of evaluation in a standardized way. It is intended to collaborate with the improvement of the evaluation processes and procedures of Educational/Technical-Technological Products for the necessary accuracy, representativeness, and homogeneity, which will allow the real dimensioning of the contributions of these products. This involves not only training qualified professionals, but also transforming practices in the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) [Brazil's Unified Health System], promoting advances in science and in its fields of application.
Highlights
In 2019, during the Teaching Area Mid Term Seminar - Area 46, one of the evaluation areas of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) [Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel], which involves several professional master’s and doctorate courses as well as some academic master’s degrees, a working group (WG) was formed to discuss the Educational Product (EP)(1), with the task, among others, of proposing an Educational Product Validation Form
This proposal was organized using as reference the Report of the CAPES Technological Production WG(2) and detailed some possibilities of Educational Products and Processes that contemplate the typologies already defined within documents of the area(3)
Rizzatti et al(4) presented the fundamental elements for the discussion and construction of this evaluation instrument to be applied in postgraduate programs (PPG) that involve the production of an EP or TechnicalTechnological Product (TTP), most often produced in professional master’s and doctoral degrees
Summary
In 2019, during the Teaching Area Mid Term Seminar - Area 46, one of the evaluation areas of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) [Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel], which involves several professional master’s and doctorate courses as well as some academic master’s degrees, a working group (WG) was formed to discuss the Educational Product (EP)(1), with the task, among others, of proposing an Educational Product Validation Form. Reis, and Kawasaki(5) emphasize that there is a need to highlight the specificities of professional postgraduate programs, and this means the need to strengthen the identities of this type of program, highlighting, in the scientific community, their contributions to the training of professionals and for the production of knowledge and resources Another problem was pointed out in the study by Moreira et al(6), in which a survey of educational products made in a professional master’s degree in Science Teaching was carried out, and they identified that there is difficulty in providing visibility in certain EPs/TTPs, such as projects within extension programs and scientific dissemination activities. Based on the proposal of Rizzatti et al(4), the authors of the present article understand that there is room for improvements, which will be pointed out, point by point, indicating the reasons and suggestions of the new proposals for the Evaluation Form
