Abstract

An articulation of training and performance of masters and doctors with the scope of professional improvement has been in a contemporary debate and a challenge for strictly sensory postgraduate courses, in view of the professional programs and public policies addressed to this end. In this light, there is the Postgraduate Program in Maritime Studies, part of this process and a pioneer with regard to the opening of a Professional Doctorate, in the area of Political Sciences and International Relations. Since 2013, the program seeks to conceive a professional aspect, an area that is primarily of theories and their consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate what was built and what can still be accomplished as a professional program. Thus, this study aimed to assess the trajectory of PPGEM, while inserted in the context of strictly professional postgraduate public policies, based on the norms on the topic, the documents collected and the interviews with the creators and students of PPGEM. With the fulfillment of objectives, we seek to develop a theoretical framework that addresses the dynamics used in the research. To this end, a look at theories and cycles of public policies was launched, with a focus on the implementation phase, in addition, concepts about qualification are expelled in the world of work, having been used as a basis on practices and training, Development and Education. For a better contextualization of the PPGEM, a bibliographic survey was carried out on the trajectory of graduate studies in Brazil, focusing on professional programs. There was also a documentary survey on the PPGEM, how to trace a historical path of the program, in addition to interviews with authorities, documents and students. All the data listed here were analyzed and categorized in the light of content analysis, four basic categories of inference were developed, one knowledge: history until the beginning of the activities of the PPGEM; concept of maritime studies in the construction of the PPGEM identity; an option for a professional stricto sensu graduate program; and a strengthening of PPGEM as a strictly professional graduate program. An analysis of the data showed the challenges of consolidating a professional postgraduate course, given a new way in the area of Political Sciences and International Relations and the resistance in overcoming the postgraduate history in Brazil this year. area. On the other hand, or the PPGEM highlighted in this context, for example, it can cite a change in the last quadrennial evaluation (2013-2016) from "3" to "5" and a pioneer in opening a professional doctorate. Finally, it is possible that some actions do not intend to contribute to the development of the PPGEM and research proposals on the subject for future studies.
