[en] A PLACE FOR ILLUSTRATION: UNDERSTANDING ACADEMIC BACKGROUND OF BRAZILIAN ILLUSTRATORS THROUGH INVOLVED ACTOR SPEECHES / [pt] UM LUGAR PARA A ILUSTRAÇÃO: ENTENDENDO O CENÁRIO DE FORMAÇÃO ACADÊMICA DO ILUSTRADOR BRASILEIRO ATRAVÉS DOS DISCURSOS DOS ATORES ENVOLVIDOS

MONICA LOPES NOGUEIRA 14 May 2020 (has links)
[pt] Quando alguém faz a escolha de se tornar um ilustrador profissional provavelmente passará por vários questionamentos sobre que caminhos seguir, que faculdade escolher, se deve ou não fazê-la, que cursos são necessários realizar etc. No Brasil, de acordo com os dados apresentados na presente pesquisa, quase não há o oferecimento de um ensino universitário para a formação acadêmica do ilustrador. Entretanto, mesmo não havendo praticamente a oferta de uma graduação, foi observado que a maioria dos ilustradores profissionais e futuros ilustradores optaram em ter, sim, uma formação de nível superior, sendo o Design o curso de maior escolha desse público. Dessa forma, com o intuito de entender o cenário brasileiro de formação acadêmica para o ilustrador, além da busca por documentos e conteúdos bibliográficos relacionados à área, foi realizado um questionário com ilustradores profissionais e futuros ilustradores de todas as regiões do Brasil e entrevistas com professores universitários. Para a organização dos dados obtidos a partir das falas desses participantes, foi utilizado o instrumento da análise de conteúdo a fim de categorizar tais informações que não só servem para a reflexão de uma futura construção de fundamentos para o estudo da ilustração, mas que aqui foram utilizados para a construção de um mapa de conteúdos sobre área a fim de servir como guia de estudo a futuros ilustradores de maneira autônoma, bem como uma possibilidade de auxiliar cursos ou universidades no planejamento de quais conteúdos ensinar em cursos (acadêmicos ou não) sobre ilustração. Além disso, a presente tese pretende também chamar a atenção de pesquisadores para a necessidade de haver mais investigações sobre este campo de conhecimento e, com isso, de alguma forma ajudar aqueles que querem seguir a carreira de ilustrador profissionalmente. / [en] Individuals who choose to become professional illustrators will probably go through several questions such as: which university to choos, which courses to take, which paths to follow. In Brazil, according to data presented in this research, there is not a consolidated university education offer specifically for academic training as an illustrator. However, even though there is no offer of this undergraduation, it was observed that most professional illustrators and future illustrators choose to pursue academic training, and Design is the most common choice for this audience. In order to understand the Brazilian scenario of academic education for the illustrators, besides the search for documents and bibliographical contents related to the area, questionnaires were conducted with professional illustrators and future illustrators from all regions of Brazil and interviews with university professors of the Design course. On the data collected from the speeches of these participants, it was used the analysis of content to find topics and interesting subjects about the area. These indications not only serve for a future construction of fundamentals for the study of illustration, as well as for building a first proposal for a course aimed at this audience, according to their own speeches. In addition, this thesis is also intended to draw the attention of researchers to the need for more research on this field and somehow help those who want to pursue the career of illustrator professionally.

Sua inserção no contexto escolar tem provocado, na comunidade de Educação Matemática, significativas discussões e movimentos para que esta metodologia se faça presente nos espaços de formação docente ou até mesmo se configure como um modelo formativo. Neste contexto, compreendendo que práticas com Modelagem Matemática, apesar de incipientes, estão presentes na infância, a formação de pedagogos, como educadores deste ciclo, também merece atenção e, por isso, implementamos/instigamos o contato com a Modelagem Matemática no curso de Pedagogia da UNICENTRO, no qual os acadêmicos estabeleceram aprendizagens com/sobre Modelagem Matemática em atividades extensionistas (curso de extensão), trabalhos de pesquisa e estágio. Das vivências dos acadêmicos emergiu a seguinte interrogação: O que se mostra, em discursos de acadêmicos, sobre a Modelagem Matemática na formação inicial de pedagogos? Essa, portanto, assumida como interrogação de pesquisa foi perseguida sob atitude fenomenológica, a qual encaminhou-se para estudos teóricos sobre Modelagem Matemática na perspectiva da Educação, sobre a formação de pedagogos e o ensino de Matemática e, também, como um aspecto principal da pesquisa, compreendeu a identificação dos discursos/percepções dos acadêmicos sobre a Modelagem Matemática em seu processo formativo inicial. No que se refere aos discursos coletados, as entrevistas com gravação de áudio foram transcritas e, posteriormente, tratadas com o auxílio do software Atlas.ti, numa ação interpretativa fenomenológico-hermenêutica, que permitiu a identificação de 5 (cinco) categorias: C1) Recordações sobre a Matemática e seu ensino apresentadas a partir da Modelagem Matemática; C2) Justificativas para vivenciar, pesquisar e utilizar Modelagem Matemática; C3) Sentidos atribuídos à Modelagem Matemática; C4) Conhecimentos construídos ou mobilizados por meio da Modelagem Matemática; e C5) Consequências e repercussões das práticas com Modelagem Matemática. Destas, interpretamos que a Modelagem Matemática, encaminhada pela concepção e etapas de Burak (1992; 2004; 2010), se constitui numa metodologia de formação para os pedagogos, educadores da infância, que oportuniza o desenvolvimento de saberes docentes, como a pesquisa, reflexão, diálogo, cooperação, aprendizagem de conteúdos específicos, em abordagem interdisciplinar e, principalmente, a ressignificação do ensino de Matemática e da prática educativa na infância. / Mathematical Modeling in Mathematical Education perspective has been pointed out on Basic Education scope, as a change about the in force educational practices, corresponding the most dynamic, attractive and establishment actions, related to Mathematics and daily routine from the students. Its insertion in the school’s context has caused in Mathematical Education community meaningful discussions and movements for this methodology take part in the spaces for teacher’s training or even that sets in a formative model. On this context, it is understood that practices with Mathematical Modeling, despite of being early, are present in childhood, pedagogue’s initial education, as educators of this cycle, also deserves attention and, that’s why it was implemented/encouraged the contact with Mathematical Modeling in Pedagogy graduation course, which the academics, established learning with/about Mathematical Modeling in outreach academics (outreach programs), researches and internship. From the academic’s experience emerged the following questioning: What does it show in discourse from academics, about Mathematical Modeling on initial academic education of pedagogues? This, therefore, admitted as research questioning was persecuted under phenomenological attitude, which was directed to theoretical studies about Mathematical Modeling in Education perspective, on academic education of pedagogues and Mathematics teaching and as main aspect of the research, understood the identification of discourses/perceptions of academics about Mathematical Modeling in its initial process. About the collected discourses, the interviews with audio recording were transcript and afterwards, treated with software aid named Atlas.ti in an interpretative phenomenological hermeneutics action that allowed the identification of 5 (five) categories: C1) Memories about Mathematics and its teaching presented from Mathematical Modeling; C2) Justifications for living, researching, and using Mathematical Modeling; C3) Assigned meanings to Mathematical Modeling; C4) Built knowledge or mobilized through Mathematical Modeling; and C5) Consequences and repercussions of practices with Mathematical Modeling. These, it is possible to interpret that Mathematical Modeling, forwarded by the conception and steps by Burak (1992; 2004; 2010), it is constituted in a methodology of academic education for pedagogues, childhood educators, that create opportunity for development of teacher knowledge, as research, reflection, dialogue, cooperation, specific content learning, on interdisciplinary approaching and, mainly the redetermination of teaching Mathematics and education practices in childhood.

Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T15:39:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 AlessandraSO.pdf: 468703 bytes, checksum: 8d980d6e99d5b52f3982fb70db6d2277 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-11-07 / This work deals with organizational support perception-OSP. This is done considering staff global beliefs, value of their contributions, care and well being related of individuals in an organization. These issues has been have been present in many researches since the 80s. It is important to analyze this matter considering all the changes that occurred nationally and internationally in the academic environment, characterized as being diversified in academic and managerial level. This occurs especially in Brazil since Federal Universities and their agents have suffered impact and restructuring. The research has emphasized the technical-managerial as well as professor staff level at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte aiming to deal with their unsatisfaction upon social political support. Thus, there was participation of 259 staff that were admitted from 2003 to 2005 in many sectors and units of the university. These subjects were submitted to a social and demographical query through an application of a scale of organizational support perception-OSP. Descriptive and multivariate analysis was done considering factors (management style of higher command), material support, wages, work overload, social support at work and ascending levels). Results show that there a hierarchy of the analyzed factors, the factor social support at work as being the first one with 3,31%, the factor management style of the higher command in second with 3,30%, then followed by the factor social support at work with 2,92%, in a sequence the factor material support, factor overload with 2,49% in the fourth position, and in the fifth place, the factor ascending with an average of 2,33% and in last the factor wages with 2,20%. It is concluded that the factors related to the more positive attributions of the OSP (social support at work), in a sequence material support opposing from the most negative factors of the OSP (wages, overload, ascending) reveal a reality that points out that the OSP is very much related to the individualized actions of the members of the organization (leader-member-group) rather than on structure and institutionalized actions carried out at UFRN / A percep??o de suporte organizacional designada como as cren?as globais dos indiv?duos de quanto ? organiza??o cuida do bem-estar deles e valoriza as suas contribui??es tem sido alvo de muitas pesquisas a partir dos anos 80, sendo importante inseri-la e compreend?-la ? luz de mudan?as atuais ocorridas no cen?rio nacional e internacional do contexto universit?rio bastante heterog?neo e diversificado do ponto de vista administrativo e acad?mico. Sobretudo, no caso brasileiro acerca dos impactos e reestrutura??es vivenciadas nas universidades federais p?blicas e seus agentes. Enfatizou-se a categoria dos servidores t?cnico-administrativos e docentes em virtude de demandas concretas da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte no tocante ? insatisfa??o com as pol?ticas de suporte social ao novo servidor. Participaram do estudo 259 servidores admitidos no per?odo de 2003 a 2005 lotados nos mais diversos setores e unidades da universidade. Os participantes responderam ao instrumento escala de percep??o de suporte organizacional e uma ficha sociodemogr?fica. Realizou-se an?lises descritivas e multivariadas a cerca dos fatores (estilo de gest?o da chefia, suporte material, sal?rios, sobrecarga, suporte social no trabalho e ascens?o). Os resultados apontaram para uma hierarquiza??o dos fatores analisados aparecendo em primeiro lugar o fator suporte social no trabalho com 3,31%, o fator estilo de gest?o e chefia em segundo lugar com 3,30%, o fator suporte social no trabalho em seguida com 2,92%, o fator sobrecarga com 2,49% na quarta posi??o, em quinto o fator ascens?o com m?dia 2,33% e em ?ltimo o fator sal?rio com 2,20%. Conclui-se, portanto, que os fatores com atribui??es mais positivas da PSO (suporte social no trabalho e estilo de gest?o e chefia), seguido de suporte social no trabalho, em detrimento dos fatores com atribui??es mais negativas da PSO (sal?rios, sobrecarga e ascens?o) revelam uma realidade de que a PSO est? muito mais relacionada ?s a??es individualizadas dos membros da organiza??o (l?der-membro-grupo) do que ?s a??es mais estruturantes e institucionalizadas desenvolvidas pela UFRN

These courses can be viewed as a production system. By enrolling in the university, its students integrate the system and go through an entire training process towards the completion of the course, graduates when they come out properly. This makes it possible to design new undergraduate courses as a vast field of research to production engineering. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of a course in Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences in one of the campuses of the Federal University of Amazonas, based on the assessment tool of the INEP / MEC and allusions to productivity. For this, we conducted this research from the perspective of qualitative ethnographic case study type, and participant observation, document analysis, structured interviews and research strategies and also the participation of leaders, teachers, administrative staff and students of the institution. Data collection was done in three stages: first, we proceeded with observations in the physical structure and notes in the notebook field, making up some pictures, on Monday became the analysis and selection of institutional documents, and third, the participants were interviewed, with interviews recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using content analysis, generating themes, categories and subcategories of analysis. The results revealed that this production system began to operate during the deployment of an academic unit's permanent UFAM this campus, which required much effort to ensure an adequate human and physical infrastructure to meet the needs of users. It was found that the teaching staff of pharmacists reduced at the beginning made it difficult to plan the structure of the laboratory course; the materials management was identified as one of the weaknesses of the system; the mechanism of self-assessment of UFAM offers no support to the unit managers in making decision. The relevance of social and motivational aspects were adopted to study the effectiveness of the course, considering the contributions that can be given to health from a human framework willing to collaborate with internal processes. / Nos últimos anos, as Instituições Federais de Educação Superior (IFES) criaram vários cursos de graduação por meio dos programas de expansão universitária, visando dobrar o número de vagas e a garantir a permanência destes alunos no ensino superior do Brasil. Estes cursos podem ser vistos como um sistema produtivo. Ao se matricularem na universidade, seus alunos integram o sistema e passam por todo um processo de formação rumo à conclusão do curso, quando saem devidamente diplomados. Isto torna possível conceber os novos cursos de graduação como um vasto campo de pesquisa para a engenharia de produção. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral avaliar a qualidade e efetividade de um Curso de Bacharelado em Ciências Farmacêuticas em um dos campi da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, tomando como base o instrumento de avaliação do INEP/MEC e alusões à produtividade. Para isso, conduziu-se esta investigação sob a perspectiva qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso etnográfico, tendo a observação participante, análise documental entrevistas semiestruturadas como estratégias de pesquisa e ainda a participação de dirigentes, professores, técnicos administrativos e alunos da Instituição. A coleta de dados fez-se em três etapas: na primeira, procedeu-se com observações na estrutura física e anotações na caderneta de campo, fazendo-se algumas fotos; na segunda, fez-se análise e seleção dos documentos institucionais; e na terceira, entrevistaram-se os participantes, sendo as entrevistas gravadas e transcritas na íntegra. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo, gerando-se temas, categorias e subcategorias de análise. Os resultados revelaram que este sistema de produção começou a funcionar no período de implantação de uma unidade acadêmica permanente da UFAM neste campi, o que demandou muito esforço para garantir uma estrutura física e humana adequada para satisfazer as necessidades dos usuários. Verificou-se que o quadro docente de farmacêuticos reduzido no início dificultou o planejamento da estrutura laboratorial do curso; a gestão de materiais foi apontada como uma das fragilidades do sistema; o mecanismo de autoavaliação da UFAM não oferece apoio aos gestores da unidade na tomada de decisão. A relevância social e aspectos motivacionais foram adotados para estudo da efetividade do curso, considerando as contribuições que podem ser dadas com a saúde a partir de um quadro humano disposto a colaborar com os processos internos.

The specific objectives were: Verify whether the Core Curriculum of the Undergraduation courses under study meet the propositions of the Curricular Guidelines in relation to the environmental issue; Analyze the Analytical Programs of the disciplines in the Core Curriculum of each course under study in order to identify contents related to the environmental issue; Compare with the Core Curriculums of the courses at the UFRRJ considering environmental education; Determine how concerned students are about the environment. This investigation was carried out Descriptively, by means of Documenting and using Field Research. This study provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of students? education taking into consideration the aspects that involve the environmental dimension. The methods that were used are the following: Quantitative, Qualitative and Comparative. In a total of 682 seniors registered in the courses where the survey was carried out, 404 filled out a form. We found out that students from all the courses were deeply concerned about the environment. And also that the introduction of the environmental issue in the Core Curriculum, with an interdisciplinary focus, requires a theoretical and methodological reform of the academic structure. The interviewees had a tendency to consider: environmental education deficient in Administration, Economics and History, fair in Agronomy, Agricultural Engineering, Food Engineering, Zoo Technology and Domestic Economics and good only in Forest Engineering. / O objetivo geral nesta investiga??o consistiu em analisar a forma??o ambiental recebida pelos estudantes dos cursos de Administra??o, Agronomia, Ci?ncias Econ?micas, Economia Dom?stica, Hist?ria, Engenharia Agr?cola, Engenharia de Alimentos, Engenharia Florestal e Zootecnia da UFRRJ.

Ombytliga kvinnor : Kvinnors karriärbyten via akademiska studier / Re-educated women : Women´s changes of career through academic studies.

Young Kasperi, Martina, Mäkelä, Annette January 2012 (has links)
Studien syftar till att undersöka orsakerna till kvinnors karriärbyten genom akademiska studier. Med undersökningen försöker vi ge ett nytt perspektiv på samhällsvetenskaplig forskning om kvinnors karriärvalsprocesser. I studien används både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod i syfte att besvara våra forskningsfrågor. Den kvantitativa metoden med enkätundersökningar riktas till kvinnliga studenter vid Stockholms universitet. Den kvalitativa studien baseras på intervjuer med sex respondenter från enkätstudien. Analys och slutsats baseras på de resultat vi fått från enkätundersökningen och de enskilda intervjuerna med stöd i lämpliga karriärvalsmetoder och teorier. Resultatet visar att orsakerna till kvinnornas karriärbyte är brytpunkter av såväl frivillig som påtvingad karaktär. Kvinnornas handlingshorisont och de brytpunkter och rutiner som de utsätts är påverkade av kvinnornas habitus, tidigare erfarenheter och var i livscykeln de befinner sig vilka styr deras beslut och deras handlingar. Vår slutsats är att kvinnornas studie- och yrkesval framför allt är ett intresse och en karriärstrategi samt en strävan att öka livskvaliteten. / The study aims to investigate the reasons underlying women's career changes through academic studies. We try to give a new perspective on women’s career choice processes in social science research. Both a quantitative and a qualitative method were used in order to answer our research questions. The two methods complement and reinforce each other while providing a more nuanced picture of the problem area. The quantitative method consisting of a questionnaire addressed a number of selected female students at StockholmUniversity. The qualitative study is based on interviews with six respondents selected from the survey. Processing and analysis are based on the results from the survey and the individual interviews with the support of appropriate career choice methods and theories. The results show that the causes of women's career changes are the turning points of either a volunteer or forced character. Women's action horizon, the turnings points and routines are influenced by their habitus, previous experiences and were they are in life. Our conclusion is that women's educational and career choices primarily are an interest and a career strategy as well an effort to increase the quality of life.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever a utilização de jogos e brincadeiras nos atendimentos fisioterapêuticos de crianças, realizados pelos estagiários. Foi realizado estudo descritivo, do tipo observacional, tendo como procedimentos de coleta de informações a observação sistemática e a anotação da evolução do prontuário. A observação sistemática, registrada por meio da filmagem, ocorreu em dois momentos: na primeira e na penúltima semana do estágio supervisionado. Os atendimentos observados foram realizados por seis acadêmicos do 4º ano do curso de graduação em Fisioterapia de uma instituição de ensino superior. As fitas de vídeo foram transcritas em um protocolo de observação, que continha critérios quanto ao recorte das cenas obtidas. Os recortes das cenas que apresentavam jogos e brincadeiras, durante o atendimento, foram submetidos à concordância intra e entre os observadores. As categorias e subcategorias de análise foram estabelecidas após assistir-se, diversas vezes, às cenas gravadas e de acordo com os objetivos do estudo. Posteriormente, foram submetidas à apreciação de juízes por meio de material elaborado. As categorias e subcategorias elaboradas permitiram a análise de cada ocorrência sob os vários aspectos envolvidos na prática da utilização de jogos e brincadeiras. As estagiárias observadas utilizaram os jogos e as brincadeiras na avaliação e no tratamento da criança, com o objetivo de alcançar as metas estabelecidas para o atendimento fisioterapêutico.

The aim of this study was to describe the use of plays and games at infant physical therapy sessions carried out by trainees. A descriptive study, type observational, having systematic observation and the follow up of patient files as data collection procedures, was carried out. Systematic observation, through filming, took place in two occasions: during the first week and the week before the last at the supervised training period. The observed sessions were carried out by six senior students in the fourth year of Physical Therapy at a university. The recorded videotapes were transcribed using an observation protocol containing criteria to guide the cutting of recorded scenes. Cuts of scenes showing plays and games during sessions were submitted to intra- and inter-observers concordance. The categories and sub-categories of analysis were established after repeatedly watching the recorded scenes, and according to the aims of the study. Later, they were submitted to assessors for evaluation. These categories and sub-categories allowed for the analysis of each occurrence under the various aspects involved in using plays and games in physical therapy. The supervised trainees used plays and games for evaluation and treatment of children, aiming at reaching the goals established for the physical therapy sessions. The occurrence of playful activities during the sessions had a therapeutic character. Plays and games were mostly means to achieve the pre-established aims, differing from therapeutic playing. Main identified situations that led to the use of plays and games were: child unwillingness or refusal to receive treatment and the need of active performance from child. Several kinds of plays and games were observed... (Complete abstract, click electronic address below).

Acceptans och Användning av ChatGPT inom Akademisk Utbildning : En kvantitativ studie / Acceptance and Use of ChatGPT within Academic Education : A Quantitative Study Based on the UTAUT Model

Creutz, Annica, Fridholm Lilja, Holger January 2023 (has links)
Det nya verktyget ChatGPT riskerar att kollidera med akademisk integritet och förändra traditionella utbildningsformer då chatboten klarar av att författa trovärdiga uppsatser på kommando. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka acceptans och användande av ChatGPT hos studenter och doktorander, för att förstå teknologins framtid inom akademisk utbildning. Huvudsyftet med denna studie var att, med utgång från UTAUT-modellen, undersöka studenters och doktoranders inställning, beteendeavsikt och användande relaterat till ChatGPT och chatbots inom akademisk utbildning. Enkäten besvarades av totalt 38 studenter (29 kvinnor, 9 män) och 29 doktorander (14 kvinnor, 14 män, 1 föredrog att ej uppge) i ålder mellan 18-45+. Resultatet visade låg användarfrekvens, liten vana och låg beteendeavsikt att använda ChatGPT eller chatbots. Påverkande faktorer för avsikt att använda var främst förväntad nytta av ChatGPT. Påverkande faktorer för amvändarbeteende var främst beteendeavsikt samt erfarenhet. Både farhågor (ex. plagiering, sämre kritisk och kreativ tänkande) och positiva aspekter (ex. inspiration, förbättrat skrivande) av potentiell användning lyftes. Många doktorander ansåg att ChatGPT idag inte uppfyller kraven för studier på högre nivå. Dock förutspådde flertalet att ChatGPT kommer finnas med som en oundviklig del i samhällets digitalisering samt att chatbotar kommer att utvecklas, bli mer användbara och därför ta större plats i akademisk utbildning i framtiden. Det är viktigt att universitetet följer utvecklingen av Chat GPT-användande för att kunna anpassa sätt att lära ut såväl som existerande regelverk gällande fusk. / The new tool ChatGPT risks colliding with academic integrity and changing traditional forms of education because the chatbot can write credible essays on command. Therefore, examining the acceptance and use of ChatGPT among undergraduates and graduate students is of great interest in order to understand the future of technology in academic education. The main purpose of this study was to investigate, based on the UTAUT model, students' and doctoral students' attitude, behavioral intention and use related to ChatGPT and chatbots in academic education.The questionnaire was answered by a total of 38 students (29 women, 9 men) and 29 PhD students (14 women, 14 men, 1 preferred not to state) aged between 18-45+. The results showed low frequency of use, little habit and low behavioral intention to use the technology. Factors influencing intention to use were mainly expected benefits of ChatGPT. Influencing factors for Use Behavior were mainly behavioral intention and experience. Both concerns (eg, plagiarism, poorer critical and creative thinking) and positive aspects (eg, inspiration, improved writing) of potential use were addressed. Many PhD students felt that ChatGPT today does not meet the requirements for higher studies. However, the majority predicted that ChatGPT will become an inevitable part of society's digitization and that chatbots will evolve, become more useful and therefore take a greater place in academic education in the future. It is important that universities are aware of ChatGPT usage in order to adapt ways of learning as well as existing regulations regarding cheating.

White Males In Black Fraternities: Life Experiences Leading White Males To Join A Historically Black Fraternity

Butts, Christopher C 01 January 2012 (has links)
This study was conducted to explore the phenomenon of White male membership in a historically Black fraternity. The researcher utilized a qualitative research methodology to investigate the pre-collegiate experiences of White males that influenced them to seek membership in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Due to the national pool of potential participants, interviews were conducted with White male members of this fraternity using video chat software. The researcher utilized social identity theory (SIT) as the framework for this study based on the premise that in-groups might prove to be significant. Examining the participants’ pre-collegiate in-groups, diversity of family and family friends, and home environment provided insight into participants’ reasoning for seeking membership. Additionally, exploring the participants’ pre-membership perceptions of their eventual fraternity revealed further detail as to the extent to which individuals became members of the in-group associated with that fraternity. Findings for this study were that participants’ comfort levels with diverse backgrounds and individuals allowed them to feel comfortable seeking membership in a Black fraternity. It was also found that shared traits of service and the opportunity for growth were reasons why White males sought membership in a Black fraternity.
