Course Format and Objectives
With a duration of 24 months and 420 hours of activities, PROFARTES is a stricto sensu program that qualifies teachers to strengthen the connection between pedagogical practice and academic research in Art.
The workload is divided into 360 hours of in-person classes and 60 hours online, preserving the school as a central space for investigation and intervention.
Coordination and National Network
The national coordination of PROFARTES is based at UFU, which also organizes the National Access Exam in collaboration with the Higher Education Institutions (IES) involved.
The network comprises 15 IES distributed across the country, ensuring regional outreach and local execution of the course.
Research Lines in Arts Education
The area of concentration is Arts Education, structured into two lines.
The first, Teaching, Learning, and Creation Processes in Arts, investigates formative practices and their connections with Visual Arts, Dance, Music, and Theater, including media developments.
The second, Theoretical-Methodological Approaches to Teaching Practices, examines the relationships between theory, methodology, and experimentation in the classroom across different artistic languages.
Participating Institutions and Available Places
The 317 places are distributed among the institutions associated with the program, including IFG, UDESC, UNESP, UFAM/UEA, UFBA, UnB, UFC, UFMA, UFMG, UFPA, UFPB, UFRN, UFU, UFMS, and URCA.
The complete list of available places by institution and, when applicable, by subfield, is published in Annex II of the announcement.
In case of unfilled local positions, the Management Council may reallocate places among the associates.
