Brazilian postgraduate studies in engineering and teacher training: a data study on the Sucupira Platform

This quantitative paper aimed to evaluate the space allocated in brazilian post-graduate stricto sensu programs in engineering to teacher training, which is one of its objectives set by the brazilian law 9.394/96, of the Guidelines and Bases of Education (LDB), and the agency Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES, Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel). Based on data analysis of the postgraduate evaluation between 2013 and 2016, more than 1,600,000 data were extracted from the Sucupira platform to identify and quantify the presence of key terms of education in the Subject titles, Intellectual Production and Major/Minor works in engineering. It was observed that 0.39% of the subjects, 0.8% of the intelectual production, 0.93% of the final papers and 0.54% of the relevant intellectual production actually work with the pedagogical area, concluding that there is a devaluation of the teaching training in the analyzed programs, reinforcing previous stud.
