• Abstract:

  The growing demand for advances in education and research in the Amazon region has pushed institutions such as the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) to intensify their efforts in academic production, especially in postgraduate programs in Education. However, the resources available are not always sufficient to fully meet this demand, which highlights the importance of external investments, such as those made by the Amazonas State Research Support Foundation (FAPEAM). FAPEAM's investment is vital for boosting academic production and contributing to the educational and social development of the region. This theoretical study aims to understand the extent to which FAPEAM's investment contributes to the production of knowledge in the Graduate Programs in Education at the Federal University of Amazonas over the last five years (2019-2023). To this end, research defended and published at the PPGE/UFAM was selected, specifically research funded by the Foundation. Seven master's dissertations and eight doctoral theses were selected. Of the 15 studies selected, a wide range of themes was identified, reflecting the breadth of interests and investigative approaches in the field of Education. The topics covered include issues relevant to the Amazon region, such as teacher training, educational policies, pedagogical practices, inclusion and environmental education. These results indicate not only the contribution of FAPEAM's investment in the production of knowledge, but also highlight the educational problems and challenges in the Amazon context.
