Expansão da pós-graduação nas IFES em MS

uma análise das condições materiais e simbólicas

Abstract

The aim is to analyze the expansion of postgraduate courses in federal universities in Mato Grosso do Sul in the context of the expansionist policies implemented in the universities since 2003. The analyzes were carried out in the light of the area's literature, documents and official statistics, with based on Bourdieu's notions of countryside, symbolic capital and habitus. As a result, it was observed that the expansion of post-graduation was due to the combination of inducing government policies - with a certain recovery of the universities, especially in terms of teaching quantity - of induction actions by university managers and of the teaching action itself, particularly by maintenance of the postgraduate habitus acquired in its formation. It is observed that this movement has led to a significant expansion of graduate studies in MS institutions, including above the national average. However, the agents of the postgraduate field in these universities still need to consolidate their qualitative expansion, since they have restricted circulation in the field of national/international postgraduate studies, both in terms of instances of power - low participation in decision-making instances of CAPES - as in terms of capital of intellectual prestige - low participation in defense boards of graduate programs from other universities and low intellectual production in journals from the highest strata of Qualis. This situation, deepened by the CAPES evaluation model, could only be minimized with more effective policies to combat regional asymmetries in qualitative terms capable of inducing the circulation of the graduate field in all units of the federation, including with greater insertion of agents from these countries.
