EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL MASTER'S DEGREES IN EDUCATION: PERSPECTIVES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

This study investigates the design, development, evaluation, challenges, and potential of educational products (EPs) in Professional Master's Degrees in the Field of Education. With a descriptive-exploratory character and a qualitative approach, the research was developed through a literature review. Aspects such as the nature and function of EPs, the articulation between theory and practice, teacher training, evaluation criteria, social and educational impacts, and the institutionalization of these master's degrees are highlighted. The results indicate that, despite difficulties related to evaluation, validation, and applicability, EPs represent a formative and scientific innovation capable of integrating research and pedagogical practice, strengthening teacher training, and contributing to social transformation.
