Teaching-Learning Patchwork Technique: Proposed Active Methodology Applied to Doctoral Education

Abstract

The didactic-pedagogical innovation at the stricto sensu level can be the differential for a program to train qualified professionals for today's demands. Within this perspective, the study seeks to reflect on the application process and impacts of a teaching strategy based on the Teaching-Learning Patchwork Technique (TLPT) active methodology in a doctoral business administration course. Using duoethnography, the research was carried out with a teacher and two students, generating reflections of different visions about the same object, which provided a greater understanding of the phenomena experienced. The results support that TLPT promotes educational innovation from the promotion of teaching worked in small strategically selected parts, creating a creative, collaborative, and reflective environment. The research contributes to a reflection on educational policies regarding the stricto sensu graduate courses.
