Doutorado interinstitucional (Dinter) na Universidade Federal do Piaui: expansão de projetos sociais e coconstrução da emancipação docente

Abstract

In this work, the objective was to analyze the implementation of the Interinstitutional Doctorate at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI), as a receiving institution. We opted for applied qualitative and quantitative research, with a descriptive and explanatory purpose, focusing on the method of Historical and Dialectical Materialism (MDH). A direct observation of the Lattes Platform and UFPI’s institutional websites was chosen as the data collection technique. The data corpus was analyzed using techniques of Socio-historical Analysis and Document Analysis. It was used as a source of information, data extracted from the curriculum and from the Research Groups Directory of the Lattes Platform of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). It was defined as the research period, the first 10 years of Dinter Projects with an interval of 2007-2017. It was defended a thesis that Interinstitutional Doctorate (Dinter) enhances and stimulates the process of producing social projects and the formation of research groups, contributing to an emancipation of teachers. Of the 95 graduates from Dinter, (38%) 36 teaching researchers-extension workers are linked to UFPI’s graduate programs and 28 teachers are leaders of the research groups. 63 research groups were found with the participation of 67 professors from Dinter registered in the CNPq Groups Directory. In the trajectory covered during Dinter, each teacher appropriated theoretical, technological, practical, and relational domains. We went through co-constructions during the doctoral internship with moments of studies, orientations, knowledge production, usability of artifacts, among others. Different situations were experienced in the relationship between being a teacher, researcher, and extension worker. The professor graduated from Dinter works with changing elements and improvements arising from social contexts and interactions with objects, equipment, instruments, machines, and research groups. This process implies in the awareness, assumptions and coping mechanisms that enable the expansion of social projects. Upon completing a stricto sensu post-graduation, the teacher co-builds knowledge and strengthens himself for scientific research, for the procedurality that expands reflexivity, stimulates intellectuality, values interdisciplinarity, pay attention towards real social needs and contributes, in that sense, to Teacher Emancipation.
