Desenvolvimento de servidores técnico-administrativos em educação: estudo do curso de elaboração de projetos de mestrado e doutorado da UFMG

Abstract

The course "Elaboration of Master's and Doctorate Projects" is part of UFMG's Staff Development Plan. The action, aimed at technical and administrative public servants in education, presents the purposes and operation of graduate programs, and discusses the elements and steps for the elaboration of a research project. In this paper, with a descriptive and documental orientation, we present data from a research about the trajectories of the alumni of this course. The data analysis points out that the most outstanding result of the course is the shortening in the period required for these employees to be approved in post-graduation programs. However, it is possible to infer, from that, others, such as the contribution to the development of the public servants, through the achievement of personal goals, also, to the improvement of work processes at the university, since the areas of study and their research, in most cases, are related to the positions these workers hold in the institution.
