CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN A PROFESSIONAL MASTER'S DEGREE COURSE

ABSTRACT:

Considering the process of implementing a master's degree program in a public university, the reflections proposed in these "open words" aim to problematize the relationship between theory and practice inherent in this postgraduate modality stricto sensu considering, among other aspects, the profile of the entering subjects. In the approach developed in the article, the attention to be given to the masters by virtue of their links to work activities, which are related to the research and intervention projects, as well as the epistemological reflection about the inter / transdisciplinary posture to be adopted in the development of the discipline Research Methodology, which subsidizes the accomplishment of the final work of the professional master's degree course. In this sense, the challenge is theoretically based on the ergological approach, which conceives work as a human activity, reflecting processes of recognition and validation of knowledge.
