• Resumen

  • In this article, we present fundamental principles and concepts for a postgraduate program focused on educating universitylecturers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This program is being designed by the Science,Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) research group (GPEECE), which is linked to the State University ofRio Grande do Sul. Theoretical parameters are presented, as well as the actions needed to support a postgraduate programfocused on students who have taken courses in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (i.e., futureteachers of STEM). The results showed that the great differential of the course in relation to other similar courses is thespecific focus in the classroom. This was one of the aspects that were most remembered by the students of the specializationcourse that represented the previous work for the proposed course.
