Abstract

This work focuses on obtaining an opinion from graduates of the Licentiate in Physics course at UTFPR-CT, Curitiba campus subsequent to training, regarding factors related to academic and professional career progression. The research presented here aims to develop both an employment and an academic profile of the licensee, doing this through research centered on graduated students, from their first graduates in 2012 until September 8, 2022. Only graduates were considered eligible for the survey. Have effectively graduated by September 8, 2022, as it is believed that the graduates who graduated after this period did not have time to insert themselves in some academic and/or professional context, reducing the number of participants to 76. The graduates were contacted by e-mail, where a form with questions relevant to the research was sent. The form consisted of 23 multiple-choice closed questions and one open question, totaling 24 in all, a number that could decrease depending on the choices made in specific multiple-choice questions. This questionnaire was discussed within the scope of the course in its collegiate and submitted to the ethics committee of the institution and received responses within a period of 21 days. The methodology for analyzing these data was based on Bardin’s (2011) research concept, with data being separated, regrouped and then treated. 32 graduates of the course effectively participated in the research, which corresponds to a percentage of approximately 42% of the initial sample of 76 students. The data indicate that 38% of the graduates who participated in the survey currently work as teachers. In addition, most graduates were or are enrolled in a postgraduate program, with the Capes area of Earth Sciences being the most common targeting.
