Women graduates of the Postgraduate Program in Education (Master's Degree, UFMT/Cuiabá: 1991-1994)

Abstract

In this text we present an analysis of women graduates of the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPE), Master's Course in Education, at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Cuiabá campus, and we analyze information from the lattes of graduates of the course from 1991 to 1994. The questions that guided the research were: who were the women who graduated from this program? What can be seen in the professional development of the graduates' CVs? Methodologically, the research used documentary sources: Currículo Lattes, analyzed on the Lattes Platform, dissertations by female graduates collected in the sector library of the Institute of Education, dissertation defense minutes found in the PPE secretary's office, project and internal regulations of the Master's Degree in Education found in the Living Memory Center of the Institute of Education. The results of the research show that the training obtained in the Master's course motivated some women who graduated from the Master's course in Education at the Cuiabá campus between 1991 and 1994 to take up or continue other academic activities after completing the course. Most of the graduates have jobs in public and private schools and work in teaching and research. These results point to the importance of the PPE in the training and professional development of women in stricto sensu courses, as evidenced by the analysis of their CVs.
