NASCIMENTO, Antônio Dias. Postgraduate Research Training: practices and challenges. The formation of the researcher in Education at the State University of Bahia. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.71, pp.19-33. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.62550.

This paper presents an analysis of the researcher's training in the Post-Graduate Program in Education and Contemporaneity, PPGEduC, of the State University of Bahia, UNEB, constituted in the light of the historical experience of other universities and the norms that govern post-graduation in Brazil, whose master's degree course was recommended by CAPES in 1999 and its doctorate in 2008. The methodology used consisted of bibliographical and documentary consultations. The studies developed in the program revolve around education in the context of the crisis of modernity from four lines of research namely Civilizational Processes: Education, Memory and Cultural Plurality; Education, Pedagogical Praxis and Educator Training; Education, Management and Sustainable Local Development; and Education, Curriculum and Technological Processes. These lines are composed of 23 research groups certified by CNPq. In spite of the diversity of analytical perspectives assumed by the various members of the Program, all recognize the crisis of modernity and converge with one another in the purpose of seeking new utopias considering the centrality of the human person, the defense of the environment and the humanitarian use of information technologies and communication. Given the scenario of uncertainties and perplexities, the studies developed in the program aim at producing knowledge that favors the production and reproduction of human dignity. Finally, some general considerations are presented, highlighting some important aspects that characterize the Program and the process of training the researchers.
