FIALHO, Nadia Hage  y  HETKOWSKI, Tânia Maria. Professional Master Programs in Education: new perspectives of postgraduate studies in the Brazilian scenario. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2017, n.63, pp.19-34. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.49135.

The institutionalization of professional postgraduate studies in Brazil is a recent process and yet to be concluded, since, until now, there are no professional doctorate programs in the country. The professional master degree is the first type of professional postgraduate academic degree available. In the educational area, the institutionalization process has been slow, sometimes cluttered, despite periods of intense production of legal and/or academic references. Nevertheless, there are signs of strengthening of the epistemic base in the field of research and training, contemplating relationships between higher education and basic education, academies, the productive sector, the public sector and the private sector, education and training of workers in the most varied social practices. Professional master programs, given their own nature and the specific characteristics of final papers, have been constituted important spaces for the application, generation and evaluation of methodologies that go beyond the understanding of phenomena by incorporating the perspective of application, intervention or development.
