Contribuições das alterações institucionais na carreira do magistério superior no perfil docente

Abstract

In Brazil, a set of public measures that impacted the careers of federal education professors was implemented. More specifically, the Law No. 12,863 of September 24, 2013, which required the title of doctor in public competitions for the profession of professor in federal higher education, and the Law No. 12,990, of June 9, 2014, which defined the reservation of 20% of vacancies offered in federal public contests for blacks. These laws were enacted in a context of restructuring and expansion of the federal network of higher education in Brazil, whose Program to Support Plans for Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities, the REUNI, implemented in 2007, that guided the structuring policies of federal higher education. In that context, this dissertation aims to verify if these institutional changes influenced the qualification (master, doctor) and profile of federal higher education teachers, such as age, sex, and race in a national and regional context. This study uses the differences-indifferences method, which allows the study of the main changes that occurred in federal universities in response to institutional changes between 2010 and 2017. The results suggest that the policies adopted may have contributed to the qualification of the federal faculty of higher education, in view of the greater participation of doctors to the detriment of masters. In addition, they may have contributed to the hiring of younger professors, the increase in the proportion of women, and the proportion of teachers working in graduate school. The results also indicate that the laws may have reduced the participation of black professors in federal higher education, which indicates the low effectiveness of the quota law in increasing the participation of this group
