SOUSA, Clarilza Prado de  and  PLACCO, Vera Maria de Souza. Professional masters in the field of education and teaching. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.47, pp.23-35. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/01047043v25n472016023.

The text discusses two of the challenges that Professional Master’s programs (PM) currently face. We assume that the PM have a commitment to a clear impact, regarding basic education, responding to its reality and demands, and that its proposal should be aligned with the results of a policy for improving the quality of education. So, we seek to contribute to the educational guidelines that a PM should commit. The first challenge of the PM concerns the interpretation that has been made of the needs of the educational context to define its proposals. The second challenge concerns the interpretation that has been done on how to form the teacher. The teacher education field considers the complexity of the professional practice of education and does not minimize their formation needs and conditions. To consider the consolidated basis of the education field, will allow to overcome the disputes between epistemic communities, each seeking to highlight their own perspective and knowledge, by proposing a complete and complex formation of the education professional.

Keywords : Professional Master; Teacher Formation; Theory of teacher Formation.
