No. of bitstreams: 1 aquivototal.pdf: 1783648 bytes, checksum: 35c51eb2f3badb5f0ce08e9be78f2d9b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-02-29 / The understanding about public policies context in contemporary society implies uncover the relationship between democracy, public policy and public space. In Brazilian educational field, an articulation between public policies and social-historical changes have influences in public policies guidelines. Spread and internalization of Vocational and Technological Education Federal Network has been taking place since 2008. It has expanded places supply in Brazil with regard to access and residence guarantee. In 2010, National Student Assistance Program (PNAES, in Portuguese) arises in Federal Network student assistance. This research aims to analyze policy management of student assistance programs at Education, Science and Technology Federal Institute of Paraíba. In order to do so, we are based on the following problem: how to proceed policy management of student assistance programs in Education, Science and Technology Federal Institute of Paraíba - Campus Campina Grande? Survey was focused on IFPB student assistance policy programs regarding to feeding, transportation, housing and work initiation. This is a field research, with primarily qualitative approach. However, it also makes use of quantitative benefits, which are typified as an exploratory, bibliographic and documental research. Content analysis was fundamental for data interpretation. Data collection with the subjects was stablished by two bases: a) mixed questionnaire for students served by student assistance programs (feeding, transportation, housing and work initiation), enrolled in high school integrated technical courses who joined in 2013; and b) interviews with managers directly related to issues interactions scope related to student assistance. Results show that, among students, mostly 65% of programs recipients realize how important such programs are for their permanence and performance. In observance of student performance, only 8.3% revealed to be retained in some series, whereas 23% were in a discipline dependence regime. Student Assistance Policy is understood by managers as greatly important to students’ stay, especially for low-income ones. Research revealed student residence programs relevance and showed that permanence and performance service is not only related to cash transfer student assistance programs. A high quality staying permeates a broad service character, as pointed out by the studied institution in its Student Assistance Policy. Nevertheless, Student Assistance Policy driving process at IFPB Campus Campina Grande still demands a larger structure, considering the need to promote public sphere activity according to student perspective in order to drive policy democratic process at the institution / Entender o contexto das políticas públicas na sociedade contemporânea implica descortinar as relações entre democracia, políticas públicas e espaço público. No Brasil, na educação profissional, a articulação das políticas de educação e as transformações sócio-históricas têm influências em suas diretrizes. A expansão e interiorização da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica vem ocorrendo a partir do ano de 2008, ampliando a oferta de vagas no território nacional no tocante à garantia de acesso e à permanência. Em 2010, surge, no âmbito da assistência estudantil, na Rede Federal, o Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES). Esta pesquisa busca analisar os programas do Política de Assistência Estudantil do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba, partindo do seguinte problema: como se estruturam os programas de assistência estudantil do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba - Campus Campina Grande no tocante à permanência e ao desempenho estudantil? A pesquisa delimitou como foco da política de assistência estudantil no IFPB os programas de alimentação, transporte, moradia e iniciação ao trabalho. Trata-se de uma pesquisa campo, prioritariamente de abordagem qualitativa, mas também se valendo de subsídios quantitativos, tipificada como exploratória, bibliográfica e documental, tendo na análise de conteúdo os fundamentos para a interpretação dos dados. A coleta de dados com os sujeitos da pesquisa deu-se através de duas bases: a) questionário misto para os alunos atendidos pelos programas da assistência estudantil (alimentação, transporte e moradia, iniciação ao trabalho), matriculados em cursos técnicos integrados ao ensino médio e que ingressaram no ano de 2013; e b) entrevista com os gestores que estão diretamente relacionados ao escopo de interações dos assuntos relacionados à assistência estudantil do IFPB-CG. Os resultados obtidos com os estudantes demonstram que, majoritariamente, 65% dos beneficiados dos programas percebem a importância destes para a permanência e para o desempenho estudantil. Na observância do desempenho estudantil, apenas 8,3% revelaram ter ficado retidos na série (ou repetiram) em algum ano e 23% ficaram em regime de dependência em disciplinas. A Política de Assistência Estudantil é entendida pelos gestores como de grande importância para a permanência dos estudantes, sobretudo para os de baixa renda. A pesquisa revelou a importância dos programas para a permanência discente, desvelando que o atendimento no tocante à permanência e ao desempenho não está apenas relacionado aos programas da assistência estudantil de transferência pecuniária. A permanência com qualidade perpassa por um caráter de atendimento amplo, já apontado pelo IFPB em sua Política de Assistência Estudantil. Conclui, no entanto, que o processo de condução da Política de Assistência Estudantil no IFPB, Campus Campina Grande, ainda demanda de uma maior estruturação, em relação à necessidade de fomento da atuação da esfera pública na perspectiva discente para uma condução do processo democrático da política na instituição.

abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore features of Supplemental Educational Services (SES) implementation at the district level. In the study beliefs, goals, and actions of district office administrators were analyzed against the backdrop of changing federal guidelines and challenges faced by SES implementers across Arizona. The case study focuses on implementation in the 2007-2008, 2008-2009, and 2009-2010 school years. The study uses the 2005 and 2009 Department of Education guidelines, survey responses from Arizona district and school implementers, as well as documents and interviews from an urban Arizona case district. The study separates the implementation activities into task areas, which are analyzed separately. Using a loose coupling perspective, the separate task areas are furthered used as coupling domains and represented in social network graphs. Results show that the case district personnel were highly focused on their primary role, maintaining district compliance with federal guidelines. The district personnel employed several changes over the case study period to centralize their control of SES operations within district. The employment and training of site level coordinators was the most impactful of the strategies. As boundary spanners, the coordinators allowed greater access to information, oversight, and influence at the site level. Despite the growing capacity and earnest efforts of the district personnel, the case district was still very far from being able to measure or assess the impact of SES on student achievement. Centralization in the scholastic task areas was relatively low, and had marginal changes over the case study period. Years into the program, there was still no avenue to accurately gauge the effectiveness. As the district personnel were chiefly concerned with compliance, they had suspended judgment on the program and focused primarily on improving their processes. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2011

abstract: The Civil Rights Project estimates that Black girls are among the least likely to graduate from high school. More specifically, only about half, or 56%, of freshman Black girls graduate with their class four years later. Beyond the statistics little is known about Black girls who drop out, why they leave school and what happens to them once they are gone. This study is a grounded theory analysis of the stories eight adult Black women told about dropping out of high school with a particular focus on how dropping out affected their lives as workers, mothers and returners to education. There is one conclusion about dropping out and another about Black female identity. First, the women in my study were adolescents during the 1980s, experienced life at the intersection of Blackness, womaness, and poverty and lived in the harsh conditions of a Black American hyperghetto. Using a synthesis between intersectionality and hyperghettoization I found that the women were so determined to improve their economic and personal conditions that they took on occupations that seemed to promise freedom, wealth and safety. Because they were so focused on their new lives, their school attendance suffered as a consequence. In the second conclusion I argued that Black women draw their insights about Black female identity from two competing sources. The two sources are their lived experience and popular controlling images of Black female identity. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2011

abstract: ABSTRACT Research literature relating to the use of humor as a teaching method or curricula specifically designed to include humor was reviewed to investigate the effects of humor on student learning in various environments from elementary schools to post-secondary classrooms. In this multi-method study, four instruments and a humor treatment were selected to test the hypothesis that students who receive humor-embedded instruction would perform better on assessments than students who did not receive humor instruction. These assessments were analyzed to show student growth in achievement and memory retention as a result of humor-embedded instruction. Gain scores between a pre- test and two post-tests determined student growth in achievement and memory retention. Gain scores were triangulated with student responses to open-ended interview questions about their experiences with humor in the classroom. The gain score data were not statistically significant between the humor and non- humor groups. For the short-term memory gain scores, the non-humor group received slightly higher gain scores. For long-term memory gain scores, the humor group received higher gain scores. However, the interview data was consistent with the findings of humor research from the last 20 years that humor improves learning directly and indirectly. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.
