The insertion of the executive secretariat in higher education teaching: analysis of professor academic education

Abstract

In the Executive Secretariat graduation, there are several professors who teach disciplines in a specific area of this graduation and, these, generally, are graduates of the Secretariat course. Therefore, we consider it relevant that these professors present not only technical knowledge in the area in question, that is, empirical, but allied to these, they also have some type of didactic-pedagogical training, with the aim of associating technical knowledge with pedagogical skills. That said, we carried out a survey to observe if the professors of this graduation have some kind of specialization focused on Teaching in Higher Education. We describe, therefore, in which areas of study the postgraduate courses of some Executive Secretariat professors surveyed here, in different regions of Brazil, were developed, aiming to elaborate the profile of these professionals. The methodology used for elaborating this study is based on bibliographical and documental research. After analyzing our data, we observed that there are few Executive Secretariat professors, who have some type of specialization focused on Teaching in Higher Education, considering the surveyed Universities. With this research, we aim to conduct debates about the relevance of promoting the formation of Executive Secretariat students also focused on the area of Teaching in Higher Education, considering that this is one of the countless possibilities of acting in the labor market for this future professional.
