MEDEIROS, EMERSON AUGUSTO DE; DIAS, ANA MARIA IÓRIO  and  THERRIEN, JACQUES. (INTERDISCIPLINARY) LICENCIATE DEGREES IN EDUCATION: STUDY ON ITS EXPANSION IN BRAZIL. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e226082.  Epub Feb 09, 2021. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698226082.

The paper analyzes the expansion of the (Interdisciplinary) licentiate degree in countryside education in Brazil, grounded on a documentary survey built on information available in e-MEC Database, in the year 2019. As a reference, it consideres four dimensions of the expansion, namely: number of courses per region, state and training institution; graduation period; nature of degrees (whether interdisciplinary or not); and location of the courses within the offering institutions. As a result, we emphasize, among other aspects, that the number of 45 regular degrees in public higher education institutions in Brazil testifies to the advancement of countryside education in the scope of higher education in Brazil since the creation of this new modality of graduation. For the area of ​​teacher training, we also consider it a great achievement, given that, in the history of teacher education in Brazil, it is the first regular degree to be implemented focusing on countryside Education.

Keywords : (Interdisciplinary) licenciate degree in countryside Education; Initial training of counryside Teachers; Countryside Education.
