O sentido do diploma: escolha, formação e destino profissional dos egressos das licenciaturas em ciências sociais da UERJ e da UFRJ

Abstract

In this doctoral thesis, we intend to present research carried out with graduate students in social sciences at the Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences at UFRJ and the State University of Rio de Janeiro, UERJ. In the two models of courses that will be researched, the UFRJ one has already started with the new boundaries for a licensure model and the UERJ remains in the previous model, the well-known "3+1", in which we find the licentiate and the bachelor's degree built together. Among the issues addressed in the thesis, the central issue is: Which models of sociology teacher training are these? Taking into account the socioeconomic origins of these graduates and why did they choose, in higher education, the degree course in Social Sciences? And your professional destinations? Is everyone working as a sociology professor? These are issues discussed and debated in this thesis and open paths for future discussions on the training of sociology teachers and their graduates. The thesis used qualitative research combining semi-structured interviews with data from the 2017 in the Higher Education CENSO and ENADE to carry out a more complete survey about this profile. The results show that a degree is a course of low social prestige, being devalued not only in the context of public policies, but within the university itself, thus achieving training and, consequently, performance in the labor market for its graduates.
