O Núcleo Docente Estruturante — NDE e as ações de gestão dos coordenadores de curso de licenciatura

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze the Structuring Teaching Core — NDE and the management actions performed by the coordinators of undergraduate teaching programs at the State University of Montes Claros (Unimontes). The dissertation was organized in a multipaper format, through which the study was constructed with an introduction, three articles, and final considerations. The research has a qualitative nature and, initially, the procedure of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was employed. The research was guided by conducting semi structured interviews with four coordinators of the teaching degree courses at the Center for Human Sciences (CCH) at Unimontes and by administering questionnaires directed to five professors who were members of the NDE of the undergraduate degree programs that constituted the sample. The research revealed a deeper understanding of the role of the NDE as an essential element in the organization and planning of degree programs. Through the coordinators' perceptions, information emerged about the challenges faced in educational and institutional management, the importance of the National Curriculum Guidelines (NCGs), and the impact of the NDE's performance on the quality of higher education. The survey results underscore the relevance of the NDE as an agent for transforming and enhancing undergraduate programs, outlining fundamental guidelines and orientations. Additionally, this research aims to contribute to the engagement of NDE coordinators and teachers in a constructive dialogue, with the intention of strengthening the enhancement of educational practices in Unimontes' degree programs.
