Como objetivos específicos, buscamos: compreender a historicidade das atividades de extensão no âmbito da universidade brasileira e as políticas nacionais de fomento e institucionalização; compreender as origens e as diretrizes do ProExt, bem como a distribuição geográfica e temática das propostas aprovadas nos Editais de 2009 e 2010, no âmbito da Educação em Ciências; e analisar as preocupações temáticas que emergem dos projetos e programas de extensão estudados e como estes vêm contribuindo com a produção e socialização do conhecimento e com a inclusão social. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualiquantitativa, do tipo bibliográfica e documental, realizada por meio da Análise de Conteúdo. Na pesquisa documental, foram analisadas legislações referentes à extensão universitária, os projetos e programas submetidos ao ProExt, na linha temática Educação, na sub- área Educação em Ciências, nos Editais de 2009 e 2010. Compreendemos que, historicamente, a extensão insere-se como prática acadêmica que objetiva interligar a universidade, em um diálogo bidirecional, nas atividades de ensino e de pesquisa, com as demandas da sociedade. Por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, emergiram cinco categorias na Educação em Ciências: 1) formação de professores, 2) ensino e extensão, 3) popularização da ciência, 4) alfabetização científica e 5) inclusão social. Os resultados expressam grande aproximação das atividades de extensão com as atividades de ensino e grande ênfase à formação de professores de ciências que atuam no sistema educacional. Observamos a preocupação em expandir a formação inicial dos professores. Sobre o ensino e a extensão, destacamos nas ações do ProExt a intencionalidade de propiciar aos professores de ciências métodos e materiais que contribuam com o processo de ensino. Em relação a popularização da ciência, as ações destacam a divulgação científica, as atividades experimentais e a produção de materiais didáticos. A alfabetização científica, por sua vez, vincula-se à formação para a cidadania. Quanto à inclusão social, nas propostas aprovadas no ProExt, percebemos sua inserção na divulgação científica através das ações que objetivam a realização de feira de ciências, laboratórios itinerantes de ciência, cursos, palestras. Assim, compreendemos que o ProExt vem possibilitando a divulgação dos saberes científicos. / This study was aimed at investigating how the university extension, as conducted through the [Brazilian] University Extension Program (PROEXT), contributes to the socialization of knowledge and the strengthening of extension regarding the field of Science Education. Specific objectives included: (i) understanding the historicity of extension activities within Brazilian university as well as the national policies for promotion and institutionalization of such activities, (ii) understanding the origins and guidelines of PROEXT together with the geographic and thematic distribution of the proposals accepted in the selection of 2009 and 2010, as far as science education is regarded, and (iii) analyzing the thematic concerns emerging from the projects and extension programs studied and how they are contributing to the production and socialization of knowledge and social inclusion. The research is characterized as qualitative and quantitative, held by content analysis of literature and documents. In the documentary research, we analyzed the laws relating to university extension and the projects and programs submitted to PROEXT in Education thematic line in the subarea of Science Education, in the selection process of 2009 and 2010. We understand that, historically, the extension is part of an academic practice aimed at connecting the university to the demands of society in a two-way dialogue along with teaching and research. Through content analysis five categories emerged in Science Education: (1) teacher training, (2) teaching and extension, (3) popularization of science, (4) scientific literacy, and (5) social inclusion. Results show a greater approximation of extension activities with great emphasis on education and training of science teachers who work in the educational system. A concern in expanding teacher training was observed. About teaching and extension, the actions of the PROEXT highlight the intention of providing the science teachers with methods and materials to contribute to the teaching process. As for popularization of science, the actions highlight dissemination of scientific, experimental activities and production of teaching materials. The scientific literacy, in turn, binds to training for citizenship. As for social inclusion, the proposals accepted to the PROEXT, point to scientific publication through actions of science fair, traveling science laboratories, courses, lectures. Therefore, we understand that the PROEXT has enabled the dissemination of scientific knowledge.

O debate sobre a importância e o enfoque da extensão é um processo contínuo e que tem como escopo o estreitamento da relação entre universidade e sociedade. O problema social desse estudo se refere à aproximação entre a UFJF e a comunidade externa a ela através do projeto de extensão AH-AEFM. Frente a isso, este trabalho objetiva compreender quais são as contribuições pedagógicas relacionados ao projeto de extensão Anatomia Humana - Apoio ao Ensino Fundamental e Médio no Instituto de Ciências Biológicas da UFJF. O estudo foi feito através de uma análise qualitativa das entrevistas realizadas com a Pró-reitora de Extensão da UFJF, o Coordenador do Projeto de Extensão AH-AEFM, os dois atuais monitores do Projeto de Extensão AH-AEFM e a diretora do Instituto de Ciências Biológicas da UFJF. As análises foram desenvolvidas tendo em vista o referencial teórico dos seguintes autores: Filho (2001 e 2010), Serrano (2007), Cruz et al. (2010), Gouvêa et al. (2001), Jacobucci (2008), Santos e Terán (2013), Vieira et al. (2014), Bonatto e Vasconcellos [2015], Marandino (2001), Saramago (2013), Nascimento (2013), Vasconcellos (2013) e Ribeiro e Ramos (2015). Feita as análises verificamos que, apesar dos esforços empreendidos para a manutenção do projeto de extensão AH-AEFM, falta planejamento das atividades desenvolvidas nos laboratórios anatômicos, o museu de Anatomia Humana ―Hildegardo Rodrigues‖ e seu acervo tem sido subutilizados e que concepção de suplementariedade continua a permear o projeto de extensão. Por fim, tendo em vista os resultados da pesquisa apresentamos um Plano de Ação Educacional cuja proposta é a criação de rotina de trabalho alternada para as intervenções dos monitores do projeto, a proposta de cadastramento do Museu de Anatomia Humana ―Hildegardo Rodrigues‖ junto ao IBRAM, a proposta de exposição de peças do acervo do museu de Anatomia Humana ―Hildegardo Rodrigues‖ no centro de ciências da UFJF, a proposta de debate semestral sobre a extensão universitária e sua atuação em parceria com os espaços formais de ensino, a proposta de curso de formação de mediadores e a proposta de exposição itinerante. / The Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) has been dedicated throughout its existence to the promotion of university extension projects. The debate about the importance and the focus of extension is an ongoing process that has as its objective the narrowing of the relationship between university and society. The social problem of this study refers to the approximation between the UFJF and the external community to it through the AH-AEFM extension project. In view of this, this work aims to understand the pedagogical contributions related to the project Human Anatomy - Support to Elementary and Middle School in the Institute of Biological Sciences of UFJF. The study was carried out through a qualitative analysis of the interviews conducted with the UFJF Extension Pro-Rector, the AH-AEFM Extension Project Coordinator, the two current AH-AEFM Extension Project monitors and the Director of the Institute of Sciences Biological Sciences of UFJF. The analyzes were developed according to the theoretical framework of the following authors: Filho (2001 and 2010), Serrano (2007), Cruz et al. (2010), Gouvêa et al. (2001), Jacobucci (2008), Santos and Terán (2013), Vieira et al. (2014), Bonatto and Vasconcellos (2015), Marandino (2001), Saramago (2013), Nascimento (2013), Vasconcellos (2013) and Ribeiro e Ramos (2015). The analysis showed that, despite the efforts made to maintain the AH-AEFM extension project, there is a lack of planning of the activities carried out in the anatomical laboratories, the Human Anatomy Museum "Hildegardo Rodrigues" and its collection have been underutilized and that the concept of supplementarity continues to permeate the extension project. Finally, in view of the results of the research, we present an Educational Action Plan whose proposal is the creation of an alternating work routine for the interventions of the project monitors, the proposal for the registration of the Human Anatomy Museum "Hildegardo Rodrigues" IBRAM, the proposal for the exhibition of pieces from the collection of the Human Anatomy Museum "Hildegardo Rodrigues" at the UFJF science center, the proposal for a semiannual debate on university extension and its performance in partnership with the formal educational spaces, the proposal of training course for mediators and the proposed itinerant exhibition.

IdentificaÃÃo de indicadores e definiÃÃo de Ambiente estratÃgico para avaliaÃÃo de desempenho da extensÃo universitÃria / Identification of pointers and definition of Strategical environment for evaluation of performance of the university extension

Antonio IndalÃcio Feitosa 04 September 2009 (has links)
nÃo hà / A presente dissertaÃÃo compreende dois estÃgios distintos, no que diz respeito à investigaÃÃo cientÃfica. A princÃpio, identificam-se indicadores de desempenho e define-se ambiente estratÃgico, tendo como instrumento metodolÃgico o balanced scorecard â BSC, com embasamento teÃrico em Kaplan e Norton (1997) e, em particular, no criador do mÃtodo adaptado, Figueiredo (2002). No tocante Ãs adaptaÃÃes destacam-se a implementaÃÃo de novas perspectivas: Organizacional â polÃtica e gestÃo estratÃgica; PedagÃgica â articulaÃÃo ensino, pesquisa e extensÃo; de Responsabilidade Social â relaÃÃo universidade e sociedade e de ProduÃÃo CientÃfica â publicaÃÃo cientÃfica e tecnolÃgica e a definiÃÃo do ambiente estratÃgico de planejamento no contexto da autoavaliaÃÃo institucional da interface ensino, pesquisa e extensÃo, por meio de pesquisa de campo e documental. No segundo estÃgio, avalia-se as atividades de extensÃo universitÃria enquanto finalidade da educaÃÃo superior, destacando-se sua relevÃncia acadÃmica, polÃtica e social. A pesquisa foi aplicada por amostragem, docentes e alunos da educaÃÃo superior das diversas Ãreas de formaÃÃo profisional, por ocasiÃo da primeira avaliaÃÃo institucional no ano letivo de 2006, com base nas diretrizes do SINAES â Sistema Nacional de AvaliaÃÃo da EducaÃÃo Superior no Centro Federal de EducaÃÃo TecnolÃgica do CearÃ. A aplicaÃÃo de questionÃrios a professores e a estudantes (estagiÃrios, bolsistas, voluntÃrios), entrevistas semiestruturadas, consulta a banco de dados sobre as aÃÃes extensionistas no perÃodo de setembro de 2008 a fevereiro de 2009, entre outros, foram os instrumentos utilizados para a realizaÃÃo deste trabalho, tendo como base, principalmente, o planejamento estratÃgico para a extensÃo definido no plano de desenvolvimento institucional para o perÃodo 2005/2009. Considrando-se as quatro perspectivas definidas no processo de identificaÃÃo de indicadores estratÃgicos, como objetivo geral deste trabalho, os rsultados evidenciam que a classe docente e discente tem claro desconhecimento do planejamento polÃtico-pedagÃgico para a interface ensino, pesquuisa e extensÃo, apesar dos esforÃos da alta administraÃÃo da instituiÃÃo pesquisada; nÃo obstante, destaca-se o impacto positivo na formaÃo do aluno e a efetiva contribuiÃÃo para a inclusÃo social da clientela atendida, por meio das atividades de extensÃo; outrossim, percebe-se o grande envolvimento docente em publicaÃÃo cientÃfica e tecnolÃgica, enquanto que, o grupo discente pouco tem participaÃÃo em atividades de inciaÃÃo cientÃfica. No contexto geral, conclui-se que, estes atores sociais - professores e estudantes, tem participaÃÃo insignificante na elaboraÃÃo de polÃticas e no planejamento estratÃgico para a extensÃo universitÃria, apesar de, adequadamente afirmados no plano de desenvolvimento institucional, conforme demonstrado nos resultados da pesquisa aplicada. / This dissertation presents two distinct parts regarding scientific research. At the beginning performance indicators are identified and strategic environment is set up, using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a methodological tool, with a theoretical foundation in Kaplan and Norton (1997) and, in particular, Figueiredo (2002). Among the new adaptations it is highlighted the implementation of new perspectives: Organizational â strategic politics and management; Pedagogical â teaching, research and extension linking; Social Responsibility â university and society relationship and Scientific Production â scientific and technological publication and the definition of the strategic planning environment in the context of institutional self-assessment within the teaching, research and extension interface, through documental and camping research. In the second part, the university extension activities are assessed as an aim of third degree education, expressing your academic, political and social importance. The research was applied by sampling; teachers and students of third degree education from several professional areas, when the first institutional assessment happened in the school year of 2006, based on the guidelines of SINAES â Third Degree Education Assessment National System at Centro Federal de EducaÃÃo TecnolÃgica do CearÃ. The application of questionnaires to teachers and students (trainees, college program workers, volunteers), semi-structured interviews, research to the database on the extension actions between September of 2008 and February of 2009, among others, were the instruments used for this work, and mainly as a base, the analysis of strategic planning for the extension established in the institutional development plan for the period 2005/2009. Considered the four perspectives defined in the process of identification of strategically pointers, as objective generality of this work, the resulted ones evidence that the teaching and learning classroom clearly has unfamiliarity of the politician-pedagogical planning for the interface education, research and extension, although the efforts of the high administration of the searched institution; not obstante, the positive impact in the translation of the pupil and the effective is distinguished contribution for the social inclusion of the taken care of clientele, by means of the activities of extension; also, perceives the great teaching development in scientific publication and technological, whereas, the learning group little has participation in activities of scientific initiation. In the general context, one concludes that, these social actors - professors and students, have insignificant participation in the elaboration of politics and the strategically planning for the university extension, although, adequately affirmed in the plan of institutional development, as demonstrated in the results of the applied research.

This research is part of the trend "Institutions School, knowledge and educational practices," in the Group "History and Memory of education in Maranhão", Post-Graduation Program in Education at the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA). We aim at identifying whether the actions were developed in integrated interdisciplinary teaching and research and if they contributed to the training and development of university education in the city. Our specific goals are: to analyze the socioeconomic and political context in the city of Codo, after the implementation of CRUTAC; investigate the factors that contributed for the choice of Codo for the implementation of the second unit of CRUTAC and verify the impact of such unity to the community. To reach these goals we adopted a qualitative methodological procedure of research (literature and documents). Along this process, we analyzed official documents: laws, decrees, resolutions, ordinances, agreements, and others as newspapers, dissertations, monographs, reports and dossiers. We conducted interviews with former General Coordinator of CRUTAC/MA, teachers and community leaders in order to measure the impact of the program for the community of Codo. The research was focused in some authors on the subject, such as, Gurgel (1986), Freire (1985) and Saviani (1981), among others. Given the number of actions taken by CRUTAC / Codo, we chose those that were implemented in the Neighborhoods of São Francisco and São Sebastião. We can conclude that the impact of the actions of CRUTAC for the population of Codo was positive givent the fact that the community itself claimed for the return of such experience. However, the actions we refer to did not express an effective interdisciplinary among teaching and research. We hope, finally, that this work may bring important contributions to the area of history of education, in particular to University Extension. / Análise das Ações do Centro Rural Universitário de Treinamento e Ação Comunitária (CRUTAC)/Codó, no período de 1972 1979. Esta pesquisa insere-se na Linha Instituições Escolares, saberes e práticas educativas , do Grupo História e memória da educação maranhense do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Maranhão (UFMA). Tem-se como objetivo geral identificar se as ações foram desenvolvidas de forma interdisciplinar integrada ao ensino e a pesquisa; se contribuíram para a formação profissional de universitários e o desenvolvimento da educação no município. Quanto aos específicos: analisar o contexto socioeconômico e político do município de Codó, quando da implantação do CRUTAC; investigar os fatores que corroboraram para a escolha de Codó para implantação do II Núcleo do CRUTAC; verificar a repercussão para a comunidade das ações desenvolvidas pelo CRUTAC. Para o alcance destes objetivos adotou-se como procedimento metodológico a pesquisa qualitativa (bibliográfica e documental). Nesse percurso, foram analisados documentos oficiais: leis, decretos, resoluções, portarias, convênios, e outros como: jornais, teses, dissertações, monografias, dossiês e relatórios. Realizou-se entrevistas com o ex-Coordenador Geral do CRUTAC/MA, professores e líderes comunitários visando mensurar-se a repercussão do Programa para a comunidade de Codó. Centrou-se a investigação em alguns autores que tratam da temática, tais como, Gurgel (1986); Freire (1985) e Saviani (1981), dentre outros. Diante da quantidade de ações desenvolvidas pelo CRUTAC/Codó, optou-se por aquelas que foram implementadas nos Bairros São Francisco e São Sebastião. Conclui-se que a repercussão da atuação do CRUTAC para a comunidade codoense foi positiva ao ponto da mesma reivindicar a retomada da experiência. Entretanto, as ações em referência não expressaram uma efetiva interdisciplinaridade entre o ensino e a pesquisa. Espera-se, por fim, que este trabalho traga contribuições importantes para o campo da História da Educação, em especial, no que tange a Extensão Universitária.

Nesse sentido, no presente trabalho trazemos como aporte teórico as principais concepções de universidade e extensão predominantes na história da educação superior brasileira, e, de desenvolvimento voltadas para o meio rural. Além disso, para cumprir os objetivos da investigação nosso esforço metodológico foram centrados em uma abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, caracterizada como uma pesquisa descritivointerpretativa, e dividida em três etapas. Em maior detalhe, a primeira etapa reservamos à delimitação de campo, através da seleção dos projetos e programas de extensão universitária voltados para o meio rural cadastrados no Sistema de Extensão da Pró-Reitoria de Extensão e Cultura da UFPel no ano de 2015, totalizando 60 projetos de um montante de 582 cadastrados. A partir dos dados da primeira etapa, selecionamos um grupo por conveniência de 11 docentes, com base na aproximação dos respectivos projetos ao desenvolvimento territorial, que fizeram parte da segunda etapa de pesquisa, a qual foi caracterizada pela identificação e descrição das concepções de extensão universitária e de desenvolvimento do grupo através de entrevistas individuais com roteiro semiestruturado. Por fim, na terceira etapa, realizamos a análise e discussão das relações e implicações das concepções de extensão universitária para o desenvolvimento territorial, com apoio dos dados da etapa anterior. Os resultados indicaram que a extensão de concepção crítica mostra-se imprescindível para o desenvolvimento territorial promovido pelas universidades, haja vista, a intrínseca valorização dos saberes populares do território pela mesma. Mas, a maior parte dos docentes entrevistados da UFPel não estão próximos dessa concepção. Também, naqueles docentes mais associados à concepção crítica de extensão foi possível identificar a utilização de metodologias participativas de ensino e pesquisa, as quais indicam possíveis caminhos para efetivação do desenvolvimento territorial pelas universidades e, inclusive, a efetivação da indissociabilidade entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão. / Taking as its starting point the supposed social-commitment that underpins the idea of public university in Brazil, the objective of this study was to analyze the conceptions of university extension and conceptions of development, which currently predominate in the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), from the perspective of the authors of extension projects. In this sense, the present work brings as theoretical framework the main extension conceptions that prevailed in the history of Brazilian higher education, just like, main conceptions rural development. In addition, to meet the research objectives, our methodological efforts were focused on a qualitative approach, characterized as a descriptive-interpretive research, and divided into three stages. In more detail, in the first step was reserved for the delimitation of the field, through the selection of projects and programs extension for rural areas registered in the Extension System of the Vice-Rectory of Extension and Culture from the UFPel in 2015, totaling 60 projects of an amount of 582 registered. Based in the data from the first stage, we selected a group for convenience of 11 teachers, based on the approach of their projects for the territorial development, that were part of the second research phase, which was characterized by the identification and description of the conceptions from university extension and from development through individual interviews with semi-structured script. Finally, in the third step, we perform the analysis of the relationships and implications of university extension concepts for territorial development, with the support of the previous stage data. The results indicated that the conception of critical extension proves to be essential for territorial development promoted by universities, given the intrinsic appreciation of popular knowledge of the territory by the same. But, most of the professors respondents from UFPel are not near of that conception. Also, in those professors better associated with critical extension we were able to identify the use of participatory methods of teaching and research, what indicate possible ways of realization of territorial development by universities and even the execution of the indivisibility of teaching, research and extension.

Faculty support for distance education in a conventional university

Black, Evelyn Joyce 11 1900 (has links)
This study addressed the controversy among academics in conventional universities over the credibility of distance education for degree credit. Faculty scepticism has slowed the development and expansion of distance education despite increased demands for it. Distance education is an educational method in which the teacher and learners are separated in time and space for the majority, if not all, of the teaching-learning process; two-way communication occurs primarily via print, postal service, and telecommunications (Keegan, 1990). There is little empirical evidence about the reasons for the antagonism between the supporters and opponents of distance education. The purpose of this research was to explain why some faculty support distance education while others do not. Support was defined as how faculty would speak about and vote for proposals to offer distance education courses for degree credit. The conceptual framework drew on studies of faculty attitudes towards university expansion and distance education, and literature on academic culture and change. An interpretive perspective and qualitative methods dominated the two-phase study. First, a mailed survey (n=487) investigated the extent of faculty familiarity with and support for distance education. Then faculty (n=50) were interviewed from three categories of support for distance education identified by the survey: supportive, divided support, and opposed. The interviews explored how faculty understood the compatibility and feasibility of distance education. Compatibility was defined as the congruence of distance education with faculty beliefs and values about the accessibility and quality of university education. Feasibility was the perceived ability to successfully implement distance education. In general, faculty were not very familiar with or supportive of distance education, except for undergraduate courses. There was very little support for a graduate program by distance education. There were significant differences in faculty support by discipline and gender. The reasons for variations in faculty support for distance education are best explained by the concept of compatibility. Faculty supported distance education if it was congruent with their beliefs and values about university education in general. Faculty thought about distance education as promoting social justice, as an educational method, or as the distribution of information. Faculty who were supportive held the beliefs and values Trow (1973) associated with mass education while those who were opposed tended to believe in an elite approach to university education. There was a substantial divided group who were in a conflict about the priority that should be given to the major values involved, the accessibility and quality of university education. The study contributes to the development of theory about different conceptions of university and distance education and provides insight into the study of disciplinary cultures. It presents a revised conceptual framework for further research on the topic. The results have implications for educational planning and for the development of distance education. / Education, Faculty of / Educational Studies (EDST), Department of / Graduate

Ela está na origem do termo extensão e segue presente em toda a sua trajetória histórica. A partir dessa constatação, esta tese tem como objetivo central compreender as origens e as conseqüências da ideia de transferência de conhecimentos na atuação das ITCPs, compreendidas na trajetória histórica da extensão do país. Reconhecidamente, a primeira ITCP surge derivada da ideia das incubadoras de empresas, mas, em cada local, elas se conformam a partir da reorganização da extensão incentivada pelo processo de redemocratização que havia passado o país, da mobilização da universidade diante do desemprego e, por fim, do aumento do financiamento no governo Lula. Esses fatores levam parte da extensão a um novo caminho que tem como centro a geração de trabalho e renda e a utopia da autogestão. Com intuito de compreender a ideia de transferência de conhecimento, dois referenciais teórico-metodológicos foram utilizados de maneira complementar: a Educação e os Estudos Sociais da Ciência e da Tecnologia (ESCT). No campo da educação, foram abordadas as contribuições de educadores que partem de uma reflexão teórica sobre a relação entre universidade, trabalhadores e trabalhadoras combinada com a prática educativa no âmbito da extensão. Os autores são Paulo Freire, Michel Thiollent e Orlando Fals Borda. Buscou-se compreender, por meio deles, de que maneira a ideia de transferência de conhecimento se relaciona com um tipo específico de tutela, via conhecimento, entre educandos e educadores. A partir dos ESCT, campo acadêmico multidisciplinar que surge no contexto do pós-guerra, buscou-se compreender a relação entre conhecimento tecnocientífico e o setor produtivo, principalmente, a partir da negação do modelo ofertista de conhecimento. Tendo como fundamento a assertiva de que a ciência e a tecnologia são construções sociais, aprofundou-se a crítica à ideia de transferência de conhecimento por meio de três ideias-força: o conhecimento não é neutro, o conhecimento não gera apenas benefícios para a sociedade e o conhecimento não se transfere. Por fim, com intuito de contribuir com o processo de reflexão-ação das incubadoras, apontamos algumas reflexões e sugestões para tornar viável o potencial das mesmas como aglutinadoras do processo de politização da universidade. Nesse sentido, apontamos alguns caminhos do que acreditamos ser fazer ciência (e tecnologia) politizada, como almejava Oscar Varsavsky, ou Adequação Sociotécnica com o povo, como preconiza Renato Dagnino. Nessa perspectiva, consideramos que as ITCPs como potenciais articuladoras de ações de ensino, pesquisa e extensão com vistas a produzir conhecimento e formar pessoas a partir de uma lógica para além do capital / Abstract: The idea of knowledge transfer has always been present in the relationship between universities and society. It is at the heart of the term 'extension' and has remained present since its inception. From this observation, this thesis aims to understand the origins and the consequences of the idea of knowledge transfer in the field of Technological Incubators of Popular Cooperatives (ITCPs) throughout the history of extension in the country. Admittedly, the first ITCP arose from the idea of enterprise incubators, but in each location, they were formed from the reorganization of the extension, encouraged by the process of democratization that Brazil had recently been through, the mobilization of universities against unemployment and, finally, the increase of funding during Lula's presidency. These factors took a part of extension in a new direction that has at its center the generation of work and income and the utopia of self-management. In order to understand the idea of knowledge transfer, two theoretical and methodological tools were used in a complementary way: Education and the Social Studies of Science and Technology (SSTS). In the field of Education, this thesis addresses the contributions of educators who have done a theoretical analysis of the relationship between universities and workers combined with educational practice in the context of extension. The authors are Paulo Freire, Michel Thiollent and Orlando Fals Borda. We sought to understand, through the aforementioned educators, how the idea of knowledge transfer relates to a specific type of tutelage, via knowledge, among learners and educators. From the SSTS, a multidisciplinary academic field that arose in the context of the post-war period, we strove to determine the relationship between techno-scientific knowledge and the productive sector, especially from the denial of the model of supply and demand of knowledge. Using as a basis the assertion that science and technology are social constructions, this body of work deepens the critique of the idea of knowledge transfer through three key points: knowledge is not neutral, knowledge does not stop at generating benefits for society and knowledge is not transferred. Finally, in order to contribute to the process of reflection-action of the incubators, we provide some suggestions so that their potential, as agglutinating of the process of politicization of the university, is viable. In this regard, we indicate some ways of what we believe politicized science (and technology) should be like, as Oscar Varsavsky aimed for, or Sociology-technical Adequacy with the people, as advocated by Renato Dagnino. From this perspective, we considered ITCPs as potential vehicles for teaching, research and extension in order to produce knowledge and train people beyond the logic of capital / Doutorado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Doutora em Política Científica e Tecnológica

An analysis of policy development within the Centre for Adult Education at the University of Natal (1971-1991)

Mackie, Robin Duncan Alfred January 1995 (has links)
Bibliography: pages 181-189. / The construction of macro level policy is made more difficult by the absence of a reservoir of analytical accounts which raise issues which policy at that level must address. This study is concerned with the development of policy within a very specific context and as such it is a modest and limited contribution to the development of that reservoir of theorised practice of adult education in South Africa. In this it is both a documentary record of the development of adult education at the University of Natal and an exploration of the dynamics of the policies which were evolved to direct that development. The study is thus a descriptive and analytical account of the work of the Centre for Adult Education at the University of Natal over the 20 year period from 1971 to 1991 set against the context of the broad development of adult education in South Africa in general and developments in university based adult education development in particular.

"The purpose of the study was to collect selected information about the individuals enrolled in two on-going Florida State University Home Economics Education Off-Campus Graduate Programs and to solicit suggestions for program improvement. In relation to this problem, the following questions were explored: 1. Why did the participants decide to enroll in the off-campus program? 2. What do they hope to gain from the off-campus program? 3. What suggestions for improvement can the participants offer? 4. What factors have caused the greatest difficulty to the participants in pursuing an advanced degree? 5. What are the characteristics of the 'typical' participant in the off-campus program?"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1975." / "Submitted to the Department of Home Economics Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Bonnie B.
