O PROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM EDUCAÇÃO E A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19.

This work aims to analyze the impact of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Pampa during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is based on documentary and empirical research, developed with interviews supported by a semi-structured questionnaire with six students or graduates of the Program. The time frame ranges from 2018 to 2023, highlighting the pandemic period and its implications for research and studies in the classroom, guidance and intervention activities. The research sought to deepen the importance of the master's course in times of a pandemic and whether it brought significant contributions to the education staff and professional. The results indicate that, despite the difficulties that affected those involved, there was also an effort to overcome the difficulties, with studies and guidance in the master's degree being a way to achieve the objectives already outlined.
