“The main challenge at this moment is valuing the work of professors at the university. Not only because of the general crisis we are experiencing in the country, but also because of the predatory advance of private financial institutions in which teachers are simple task executors. It is not possible to talk about curricular innovation without considering the importance of the people who make up the university, the teachers”, defended Selma Garrido Pimenta, professor at the Faculty of Education (FE) and former dean of Undergraduate Studies at the University of São Paulo (USP ), who gave the opening conference of the VI Inovações Curriculares, this Friday morning (1), at the Unicamp Convention Center. The event will be shown live on Friday (1) and Saturday (2), from 9 am to 17 pm, on link.

The event, promoted by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies (PRG) at Unicamp, through its bodies [EA]2 (Support Space for Teaching and Learning) and GGTE (Educational Technologies Management Group), in partnership with the Faculty of Education , brought together more than 660 participants, from different areas of knowledge and from across the country, to discuss the topic Challenges of higher education. “The idea is not only to share the curricular innovation projects that take place between units at Unicamp, but also those of colleagues from other universities, researchers, teachers and professionals, so that we can strengthen our actions for undergraduate courses”, reported Soely Polydoro, coordinator of [EA]². 

According to the dean of undergraduate studies, Eliana Amaral, this edition of the seminar takes place at a very important moment, in which the University is rethinking its undergraduate courses. “The event allows us to discuss pedagogical possibilities and strategies, in addition to thinking about the curriculum and our own teaching career. These are issues that directly affect student retention and the success of the student’s academic performance,” she explained.

For rector Marcelo Knobel, who was part of the opening panel, the new forms of admission that will be adopted next year also require a review of the profile of the student entering the University and the consequent adaptation of curricula according to this profile. As the dean of undergraduate studies highlighted, “diversity qualifies the training process, we actually need to prepare ourselves to take advantage of this great opportunity that we will have.”
