SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates the creation, implementation, and consolidation process of the Lato Sensu Graduate Course in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) Campus Currais Novos/RN, between 2015 and 2024. Adopting a qualitative and interpretive approach, the research is based on the Hermeneutics of Depth proposed by Thompson (2011), in dialogue with the contributions of Cardoso V. (2009), Oliveira (2008), Gonzales (2017), and Ricoeur (1983), to understand the meanings attributed to continuous teacher education in a regional context. The general objective is to analyze the process of selection, implementation, and alignment of the course with local teacher training needs, as well as its contributions to Mathematics Education and the teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in the Seridó Potiguar region. Specific objectives include mapping the key events and decisions that marked the implementation of the specialization, evaluating their consequences for the course’s development; examining the alignment of the course proposal with the training demands of Seridó teachers, considering the political and social transformations of the period; and identifying the contributions of the course to the teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in the region. Documentary sources and semi-structured interviews with faculty, administrators, and staff involved in the course's trajectory were used. The analysis spans the intentional, structural, and referential levels of symbolic forms, interpreting the discourses and documents in their historical and institutional dimensions. The results indicate that the specialization emerged as a response to local demands for teacher qualification and as an institutional strategy to meet educational goals. However, it faced obstacles such as disciplinary segmentation and the challenges of interdisciplinary articulation and the interiorization of public policies. By valuing memory and history as constitutive elements of teaching practice, the research highlights disputes, tensions, and possibilities in the field of continuous teacher education, contributing to the debate on educational policies and the role of Federal Institutes in regional development.
