Abstract

OLIVEIRA, João Ferreira de. Postgraduate and research in Brazil: regulation and reconfiguration processes of academic work formation and production. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.2, pp.343-363. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.10i2.0004.

This text analyses some of the processes of formation and production regulation and reconfiguration of the scholarly work in Brazil. Initially we examine the context and meaning of knowledge production in times of flexible accumulation, as well as the current landscape of Postgraduate in education in the country. We seek to understand how public policies in the area, particularly the actions of evaluation and promotion, and the new modus operandi of the Postgraduate study and research organization have been reconfiguring the work production of teaching and students within the programs, especially in education. Above all, we seek to highlight the role of promotion and evaluation agencies, increasingly committed to a vision of expansion that drives the production of knowledge associated with demands of economicproductivity, rather than a consistent formative project that would result in a significant advancement in the production and dissemination of knowledge in the different areas.
