ROSA, Dalva Eterna Gonçalves  and  CHAVES, Sandramara Matias. Pedagogical formation of the university professor: a reflection on the UFG proposal. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.1, pp.167-186. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v38i1.25156.

The reference for this article is the Higher Education Teacher Formation Program (Programa Formação para a Docência no Ensino Superior), set up in 2006 by the Universidade Federal de Goiás. Drawing on academic research on teaching in higher education and on the production of the teacher participants, this article presents the program's proposed action and discusses the formation needs and specific knowledge for teaching at this level. Its aim is to socialize the experiences lived out in the institution. In this research, two types of data were analyzed: the profile of the participants and the themes discussed by these beginner university professors in their case studies presented at the end of the program. The discussion pointed to a framework of varied nuances: political, structural, organizational, epistemological and didactic-pedagogical. Of the twenty-eight themes presented, the one most frequently addressed was that of teacher and student motivation. It was found that formation needs go beyond the scope of pedagogy, which would suggest a relationship between the university context, teaching conditions and practice in the classroom. This would indicate that greater personal and institutional investment in teachers' professional development is necessary.
