SUMMARY:

The aim of this doctoral research is to understand the process of professional development of history teachers in Brazil, as perceived by graduates of the Professional Master's Degree in History Education (ProfHistória), based on their training experience in the program. ProfHistória is a professional Master's degree program in History Education, offered nationally as a continuing education program for teachers, at postgraduate level, for history teachers working in formal education (primary and secondary education) in Brazil. The research problem is the following: how does the Professional Master's Degree in History Education (ProfHistória) contribute to the process of professional development of history teachers, given teachers’ demands regarding teaching history today? The main theoretical references come from studies by André (2016), Day (2001), Imbernón (2009; 2010; 2011), Marcelo Garcia (1999), Nóvoa (2017), Roldão (2017a; 2017b) and Oliveira-Formosinho (2009) on the concept of teacher professional development. The research methodology was based on a qualitative approach and classified as a case study. The data collection techniques and instruments were: document analysis of normative and curricular documents related to ProfHistória, the application of a questionnaire and the holding of a focus group with ProfHistória alumni. The data was analyzed and interpreted using thematic-categorical content analysis, in which the data generated in the focus group was grouped into five categories, namely: Motivations; Strategies for enduring and completing the master's degree; Learning and professional development; Recognizing oneself as a Teacher-Researcher; and Dimensions of teacher professional development. The research results show that ProfHistória is a continuing education program for teachers that contributes to teacher professional development, due to the fact that its training design is aimed at professional improvement and upskilling and at training history teachers/researchers as professionals qualified to teach history, as well as strengthening the teacher identity of its graduates and valuing the work and career of teachers.
