A contribuição da aprendizagem experiencial na formação de mestres profissionais em administração em um curso na modalidade semipresencial

Abstract

This research of qualitative nature aims to investigate how the Experiential Learning can contribute in the formation of professional masters in Administration. The data were collected through individual interviews with students and graduates of a Master's Program in Public Administration in the semi-private modality offered in the backlands of Paraíba. From the analysis it is understood that the experiences in the professional masters are seen by the students as positive, especially those shared by classmates, who bring a differentiated and multidisciplinary look on new phenomena or similar to those faced by these in the day to day complex management. They are also relevant for fostering reflection in both academic and professional environments, understanding concepts and articulating theory and practice, culminating in more meaningful and inclusive learning and improvements in professional practice.
