Study of the production and dissemination of environmental knowledge and the
applicability of products generated in graduate programs in the professional
modality, based on the Graduate Program in Management of Natural Resources
and Local Development in the Amazon (PPGEDAM). In this perspective, the
general objective of the research is to propose the creation of an observatory for
graduates of PPGEDAM/UFPA, for the visibility of environmental knowledge and
technical-scientific products generated in the Program, contributing to local
development in the Amazon and as specific objectives : to analyze the technical-
scientific productions generated at PPGEDAM/UFPA, sizing its contribution to
society; describe the professional performance of PPGEDAM/UFPA graduates
related to the Program; create an Environmental Observatory template as a
communication channel with PPGEDAM/UFPA graduates; submit a draft
resolution to regulate this proposed communication channel, based on CAPES
evaluation criteria. This is a PPGEDAM case study, an exploratory research that
seeks to understand and describe the reality of the Program, quantitative to
analyze numerical information related to graduates and qualitative to understand
the perceptions, experiences and challenges faced in relation to the Program. As
for the data collection techniques, they are bibliographic to theoretically base the
case study, documentary to provide information on the research lines and their
trajectory and field research that uses a semi-structured interview script, with
questions that address the objectives of the study. study, with interviews with
graduates of the Program. As a result, the production and scientific dissemination
of environmental knowledge produced in PPGEDAM/NUMA was identified, with
information and data from graduates since the beginning of the Program. As it is
an interdisciplinary course, it was found that graduates are from courses in
various areas of knowledge, with a predominance of geographers, lawyers and
administrators, that Belém is the city where graduates have worked
professionally, that the technical report is the most developed product in
PPGEDAM. As a product, there is the creation of the template for the alumni
observatory, the Environmental Observatory, as well as a draft resolution to
regulate this Program communication channel. It was concluded that the study
will allow a comprehensive understanding of the Program, its graduates and its
impact on the production of environmental knowledge and sustainable
development in the Amazon.
