Resumen
El artículo presenta un análisis comparativo del doctorado profesional en educación en Estados Unidos y Brasil, destacando las implicaciones del modelo estadounidense —implementado inicialmente en la década de 1920— para el contexto brasileño, donde esta modalidad fue formalizada casi cien años después. En ambos países se observa un desafío histórico: consolidar una identidad propia para este tipo de doctorado, distinguiéndolo del doctorado académico y otorgándole el prestigio necesario para alcanzar los impactos socioeducativos esperados. El trabajo está estructurado en tres partes principales. Las dos primeras examinan, respectivamente, el Doctorado Profesional en Educación en Estados Unidos (Ed.D) y en Brasil (DPE). Finalmente, la tercera parte presenta recomendaciones para la consolidación de una identidad propia del DPE brasileño, abordando su cuerpo docente y estudiantil, así como sus actividades y producciones definitorias.Referencias
