Continuing professional development in the segundo tempo university program at the federal university of mato grosso do sul

Abstract

This study looked into Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of monitors and the professor who participated in the Segundo Tempo University Program (STUP) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Iramuteq software was used for data analysis of semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that, while initial CPD activities described in the guidelines of the Program did not occur, weekly activities were essential to CPD. They enabled reflection on the program’s methodology according to undergraduate subjects, self-evaluation of teaching and learning, and building practitioners’ identity. The program significantly contributed to collective CPD at UFMS aligned with future teaching practice.
