Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of professors in higher education from the perspective of researchers in the field of Collective Health. In the new political scenario of Brazilian graduate reforms, the evaluation process has shifted the centrality of teaching to research, given the educational paradigms implemented over the last thirty years. This was supported ideologically by the concept of society (super) production of knowledge, bringing a new condition to the didactic-pedagogical practices of post-graduate professors/researchers, increasingly competitive and submitted to the logic of the market. For that, a case study was carried out in the field of Collective Health, in a federal public institution of Science and Technology in Health. It is a qualitative research and data were produced through indepth interviews with professors/researchers of a stricto sensu graduate program in Public Health of said institution, and analyzed through the method of content analysis. To support the study, a brief analysis of the impacts of neoliberal globalization on the processes of transformation of Brazilian university life was carried out; then the theories about the role of the professor in the knowledge society were rescued. Finally, a dialogue was proposed between the constitution of alienation in the teaching work, from the perspective of Marx, and the effects of subjectivation coming from the current context of higher education in Brazil.

No novo cenário político de reformas da pós-graduação brasileira, o processo de avaliação deslocou a centralidade na docência para a pesquisa, face aos paradigmas educacionais implementados ao longo dos últimos trinta anos. Este foram sustentados ideologicamente pelo conceito de sociedade da (super)produção do conhecimento, trazendo uma nova condição às práticas didático-pedagógicas dos professores/pesquisadores de pós-graduação stricto sensu, cada vez mais competitivos e submetidos à lógica produtivista do mercado. Para tanto, realizouse estudo de caso no campo da Saúde Coletiva, em uma instituição pública federal de Ciência e Tecnologia em Saúde. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e os dados foram produzidos através de entrevistas de profundidade com professores/pesquisadores de um programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Saúde Pública da referida instituição, e analisadas através do método da análise de conteúdo. Para dar suporte ao estudo, realizou-se uma breve análise dos impactos da globalização neoliberal nos processos de transformação da vida universitária brasileira; em seguida, foram resgatadas as teorias acerca do papel do docente na sociedade do conhecimento; por fim, propôs-se um diálogo entre a constituição da alienação no trabalho docente, sob a perspectiva de Marx, e os efeitos de subjetivação advindos do contexto atual do ensino superior no Brasil.
