<b>History of Education in Graduate Program in Education of UEPG (1994-2015)

Abstract

The object of this study is the place of the History of Education as a research field in the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG), between 1994 and 2015. When evaluating this field, we sought, besides reconstitution of ideas, to examine its trajectory and institutional presence, in different spaces of the university. The implementation of the Graduate Program in Education in 1993/94 represented an important milestone that enables to illustrate the history of research in History of Education as it occurred in the institution. Regarding its trajectory, the place of the History of Education in UEPG – in the scope of research – moved from the condition of research line, already existing from 1994 to 2000, to that of isolated project, from 2000 to 2003 and, also reaching another step, from 2003 until now, as part of a composition, becoming a research line associated with the Educational Policy research field. The research in History of Education in UEPG, although present since the beginning of the Master’s program, still has a discrete presence, due to the existing difficulties for its expansion, mainly those related to the low number of professors in this field linked to the institution.
