9 hrs confidence: | Curso de Especialização em Educação com Aplicação da Informática advanced education training - the use of computers
Explanation:
We need to step back from the bad Portuguese (technobabble in the context of education) and focus on the fact that we are talking about the title and summary description of a course. Even though it uses the somewhat more technical "informática", the real subject is the use of computers in the classroom a very popular (and controversial) discussion topic in education. Now that we understand what the original meaning is, we need to be aware of the fact that the expression "Curso de Especialização" indicates an advanced (essentially, graduate) course, which doesn't lead to a recognized graduate degree, that is, although not formally "Pós-Graduação ", it is still beyond undergraduate studies. That figure does not exist formally in English, so we need to improvise a bit:
Advanced Education Training - The Use of Computers [in the classroom]
In any event, it does not refer to the teaching of IT (thankfully, becausa that is actually soooooo.. vague).
