Trabalhos e produtos coletivos nos mestrados profissionais de educação

Abstract

This article deals with the articulation of research in professional master's degrees in education for the collective creation of complementary products. It presents and analyzes two experiences developed whitin Promestre’s line of research ‘Science popularization and education in Museums’ at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, and discusses the advantages and difficulties of this articulation. Unlike strictly academic postgraduate studies, the research at professional master's degree involves the search for appropriate forms, languages ​​and vehicles for audiences that do not access academic texts, bringing the need for collaboration from designers, illustrators, video editors and other specialties. Which highlights the collective dimension of the development process of products and educational resources.We discuss how the university extension, thanks to its characteristics of social relevance, plural interdisciplinary team and extended temporality, can become a reference to overcome obstacles to collective work in the academic tradition in the field of humanities. From these presentations and discussions, we defend the value of collective research in programs and processes of knowledge production applied to education and in its connection with university extension.
