ABSTRACT
This essay is a record of memory that is part of the celebrations of 45 years of the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGE) of the Federal University of Paraná (Brasil). It is, therefore, a narrative written by three people, the objective of which is to narrate and promote reflection about important moments that profoundly marked the historical experience and academic contribution that this Postgraduate Program in Education has accumulated over four and a half decades in producing Masters and Doctors of Education. In order to compose the plot containing data on the history of the PPGE, we reviewed documents such as: its annual reports (1975-2020), the minutes of the meetings of its collegiate board and texts published about the trajectory of the Program. The narrative, written by PPGE teachers, has sought to describe three periods based on a timeline marked by the creation, consolidation and prospection stages of the Program. Based on that historical review, we have been able to pinpoint elements that enable the history of the PPGE to be understood within the national and regional contexts and their singularities, while also indicating courses and trends for its future evolution.
