SAUL, Ana Maria. 40 years of formation of educators and researchers in the graduate level: the contribution of the Program of Educational Psychology of PUC-SP - Brazil. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2010, n.31, pp. 149-160. ISSN 1414-6975.

In this text I present reflections about the experience that I had as a student in the first Masters Course of the Post Graduate Program of Psychology of Education at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP). As I also completed my Doctorate level qualifications within this Program I offer extensive considerations that outline aspects of this experience. I intend to highlight the contributions that this Program had in relation to my trajectory as a professor and a researcher and to demonstrate how my Doctorate thesis, which presents the creation of a new paradigm of evaluation, Emancipatory Evaluation, had important repercussions.
