About us

The Post-graduation Program in Science and Mathematics Teaching (PPGECM) consists of Master's and Doctorate degrees, professional modality, recognized by CAPES and linked to the Institute of Humanities, Sciences, Education and Creativity of the University of Passo Fundo. The program focuses on the development of educational products and is focused on the practice of teaching in different levels of education levels - different levels of education – elementary school, high school and higher education.

The master's and doctorate courses propose to develop methodological actions that permeate the scientific, epistemological and pedagogical foundations and apply new information, communication and interaction technologies, also producing didactic and experimental materials focused on education at its different levels.

Another proposal of this course is to enable the professionals to develop methodologies to facilitate the comprehension of concepts related to Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematic by deepening it. The purpose is to provide the professional possibilities to participate in discussions which the mainly focus is the human construction regarding the history and its relation with social, political and economic contexts. In this way, the teaching and learning process developed in the course is based on interdisciplinary approaches, involving the knowledge of different areas.

The program focused on the demands of the local/regional community, but with national scope and reach, serving teachers from different regions of the country and different levels of education in the areas of Science, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography, Pedagogy, Mathematics, Engineering and related areas.
