Formation site: student intellectual production of history teaching in postgraduate Stricto Sensu in Northern Region

Abstract

This article aim to analyze on how the continuing education of history teachers works in postgraduate courses offered in Brazil´s Northern region. Our intention is to uncover what kind of education is pursued, through the discussion of the knowledge built in those programs, from the consideration of the themes and issues of dissertations and theses produced. We will analyze the students production of the last five years (2010-2015) at the postgraduate programs in History and Education. Among the conclusions made we believe that the post-graduate studies courses, while addressing, through research and intellectual production, the relationship between history and education, they are not concerned with Taught History. The interfaces that relate history and education are addressed from the History of Education perspective. Thus, historical knowledge occupies a peripheral place in the History and Education programs formulations in the Northern region. We also consider that the continuing education processes should be directly related to professional practice, enabling reflection on professional practice and enabling the development of strategies to ensure the improvement of education supply conditions, at all levels.
