Resumo
Esta pesquisa em nível de doutorado está inserida na Linha de Pesquisa: Políticas
Públicas em Educação e foi desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa de
Pós-Graduação em Educação da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas,
especificamente no Grupo de Avaliação, Políticas Educacionais e Sistemas
Educacionais (GRAPSE). Ela teve como foco o estudo sobre a avaliação da
educação superior por meio de rankings acadêmicos, índices e tabelas
classificatórias. Seu ineditismo e relevância radicam em sua potencial utilidade como
subsídio na expansão dos doutorados profissionais de recente implantação no país,
especificamente, na área de biotecnologia e cidades inteligentes. O objetivo do
presente trabalho foi o de estudar, dentro de uma perspectiva comparada,
destacando convergências e especificidades, as principais tendências existentes
entre as chamadas universidades de classe mundial, legitimadas pelos principais
rankings acadêmicos internacionais, na oferta de DP na área de biotecnologia e
cidades inteligentes. Trata-se de estudo essencialmente exploratório,
analítico-descritivo, que adotou abordagem multimetodológica, utilizando-se de
estratégias de análise no campo da educação comparada, com base nos dados
obtidos em pesquisas bibliográficas, de documentos e informações dos cursos em
universidades disponíveis nas páginas web das universidades estudadas. A análise
comparativa foi realizada entre as universidades com melhor colocação dispostas de
forma concomitante nos três principais rankings internacionais, tendo como
referência: mapeamento da geopolítica dos doutorados profissionais; caracterização
dos cursos e funcionamento dos cursos. Para análise dos resultados utilizaram-se
enfoques descritivos-explicativos, descartando qualquer tipo de abordagem
subjetivo-impressionista descrita. Conclui-se a partir do presente estudo que os DPs
surgem nas universidades em resposta às transformações sociais e tecnológicas
decorrentes dos avanços da humanidade. Surgido inicialmente no Canadá, o DP
ganhou notoriedade apenas quando implantado nos EUA, se expandindo para
países Europeus, da Oceania, Ásia e América do Sul. Na América do Sul, apenas
Brasil e México possuem legislação específica para este tipo de formação doutoral
sendo que nos demais países os DPs são incorporados aos programas acadêmicos
ou industriais. Em relação aos Doutorados Profissionais em Biotecnologia o estudo
demonstrou o reduzido número de programas entre as universidades de classe
mundial pesquisadas, bem como o fato de também ser uma modalidade de
formação doutoral de criação relativamente nova em âmbito mundial. Sobre os
Doutorados Profissionais em Cidades inteligentes evidenciou-se que, apesar da
urgência em torno da discussão sobre este tema, ainda são escassos os cursos
nesta modalidade doutoral, sejam estes acadêmicos ou profissionais e embora
existam programas stricto sensu e cursos correlatos, apenas dois DAC foram
relacionados a esta temática foram encontrados, sendo um no Brasil e outro no
Reino Unido.
This doctoral-level research is part of the Research Line: Public Policies in Education and was conducted within the scope of the Graduate Program in Education at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, specifically within the Group for Evaluation, Educational Policies, and Educational Systems (GRAPSE). The study focuses on the evaluation of higher education through academic rankings, indices, and classification tables. Its originality and relevance lie in its potential utility as a basis for the expansion of recently established professional doctorates in the country, specifically in the fields of biotechnology and smart cities. The objective of this study was to examine, from a comparative perspective—highlighting both convergences and specificities—the main trends among so-called world-class universities, legitimized by the leading international academic rankings, regarding the provision of professional doctorates (PDs) in the fields of biotechnology and smart cities. This research is essentially exploratory, analytical-descriptive, and adopts a multi-methodological approach, employing analytical strategies within the field of comparative education. The study is based on data obtained from bibliographic research, document analysis, and information gathered from university websites regarding the courses offered. The comparative analysis was conducted among the highest-ranked universities that appear concurrently in the three major international rankings, with a focus on mapping the geopolitical distribution of professional doctorates, as well as characterizing and understanding their structure and operation. The results were analyzed using descriptive-explanatory approaches, avoiding any form of subjective or impressionistic interpretation. The study concludes that PDs emerge within universities in response to social and technological transformations driven by human progress. Initially developed in Canada, PDs only gained prominence after being implemented in the United States, subsequently expanding to European, Oceanic, Asian, and South American countries. In South America, only Brazil and Mexico have specific legislation for this type of doctoral training, whereas in other countries, PDs are integrated into academic or industrial programs. Regarding Professional Doctorates in Biotechnology, the study revealed a limited number of programs among the world-class universities analyzed, as well as the fact that this doctoral training modality is relatively new on a global scale. As for Professional Doctorates in Smart Cities, despite the urgency surrounding discussions on this topic, there remains a scarcity of doctoral programs in this field, whether academic or professional. Although there are stricto sensu programs and related courses, only two doctoral programs explicitly addressing this theme were identified, one in Brazil and another in the United Kingdom.
