REZENDE, Flavia e OSTERMANN, Fernanda. The controversial role of the professional master in science teaching. Ciência educ. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.3, pp.543-558. ISSN 1516-7313. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320150030002.
The growth in the foundation of professional master courses in the area of education indicates the new rules of formation politics imposed by CAPES as a regulation agency of teacher training. Given the current predominance of this kind of course in the area of education, we undertook a reflection on the role of professional master courses in the search for quality in Brazilian education and in particular, of science education. The methodological approach is based on a critical view of high school education in the country and on a Marxist framework about teacher training. Considering curricular aspects, which vary a lot according to legislation, recontextualization in each particular reality and structural aspects that we have evaluated, it was possible to conclude that the role of professional master courses related to the quality of education is at least controversial and therefore, it cannot be taken for granted.
