Para isso, foi delimitado como objeto de pesquisa as narrativas de experiências leitoras de um grupo de nove professores dos cursos de licenciatura do Departamento de Educação – Campus X da Universidade do Estado da Bahia. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foi feita a opção pela concepção qualitativa na perspectiva da História de Vida. Os registros de narrativas resultantes das entrevistas semiestruturadas foram analisados com base na Análise de Discurso francesa, por considerar que o discurso não é constituído aleatoriamente, mas a partir do entrecruzamento constante das posições sociais que o sujeito ocupa ou já ocupou nas relações sociais de que participa. Cada narrativa revelou o percurso de constituição de leitor de cada professor colaborador, as suas interpretações, além dos sentidos atribuídos por eles às experiências leitoras vividas em um determinado período da vida. A singularidade e pluralidade das narrativas forneceram-nos pistas significativas sobre a constituição do sujeito-leitor. Em cada narrativa, foi objeto de destaque as pessoas lembradas, as instituições sociais e as diversas práticas leitoras experimentadas em cada instituição, além do gosto e das leituras realizadas hoje pelos professores. Ao concluirmos essa pesquisa, podemos afirmar que, para que se tenham efetivas melhorias na educação é preciso conhecer o sujeito - professor, a sua história, o seu jeito de ver e de se relacionar com o mundo. Isso se torna necessário uma vez que por meio do conhecimento das histórias de vida e formação dos professores, é possível conhecer, analisar, refletir e propor estratégias para superar problemas que há anos afligem o cotidiano da educação brasileira. Para se constituir leitor, não há o caminho a ser seguido, mas um a ser traçado de acordo com a história de vida da pessoa. Assim como não existe um percurso único para se constituir humano, cada ser, cada leitor é único, é múltiplo, é diferenciado. Essa é a beleza de ser humano, de ser leitor da vida que deve ser lida e sentida de diferentes maneiras, em diferentes contextos. / ABSTRACT This thesis aims at knowing, analyzing and establishing relationships between reading experiences, conceptions of reading and the constitution of the reader subject. Therefore, it was defined as the research object the narratives of a reading experience group of nine teachers of undergraduate courses in the Department of Education - Campus X at University of Bahia. For the research development, a qualitative conception in the perspective on the history of Life was chosen. The narrative records from the semi-structured interviews were analyzed based on French Discourse Analysis, considering that the speech is not made randomly, but from the constant intertwining of social positions that the subject occupies or has occupied in the social relations that he participates. Each narrative showed the reader constitution course of each contributor teacher, their interpretations, besides the meanings attributed by them to the reading experiences lived in a particular period of life. The uniqueness and plurality of narratives provided us significant clues about the constitution of the reader-subject. In each narrative the reminded people, the social institutions and the various reading practices experienced in each institution, besides the taste and the readings taken by teachers today were object of spotlight. Concluding this research, we can claim that, to have effective improvements in education it is necessary to know the individual became a professor his story, his way of seeing and relating to the world. This becomes necessary because through the knowledge of life histories and teacher training, it is possible to understand, analyze, consider and propose strategies to overcome problems that for years have been affecting the Brazilian education. To constitute the reader, there is no path to follow, but one to be made according to the person’s history of life. Just as there is no single path to be human formed, every being, every single reader, is multiple, is different. That is the beauty of human being, to be the reader of the life that must be read and perceived in different ways, in different contexts.

This reasearch, along the lines on Education end Arts, had as its main goal to analyze and to verify the development of the Multiple Intelligences of Howard Gardner through the Observational Drawing. Along these lines, we have chosen three particular Multiple Intelligences (Spatial, Cinestesic-corporal and Personal - intra and interpersonal), among the eight available intelligences. The reason for selecting them is that they are more appropriated in Arts teaching. The research was carried out considering undergraduate students doing the first grade on the Design Faculty in a private university, located in the city of Xanxerê (SC). The qualitative research was used as the main tool of investigation, supported by school etnography, which relied on active observation, field diary and documental analysis. The data were collected using the drawings elaborated by the students after each proposal presented by the researcher, as well as photos and notes taken by the researcher and students during the meetings. The results are consistent with the initial expectations, showing the role-played by the drawing in developing the multiple intelligences and presenting the distinct processes taken into account to amplify the personal intelligences, Cinestesic-corporal and spatial. / Esta pesquisa, na linha em Educação e Artes, teve como objetivo analisar e verificar o desenvolvimento das Inteligências Múltiplas de Howard Gardner através do Desenho de Observação. Nessa perspectiva, preferiu-se trabalhar a partir de três das oito Inteligências Múltiplas (Espacial, Cinestésico-corporal e Pessoais - intra e interpessoais), pelo fato dessas inteligências serem mais apropriadas ao ensino de Artes. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com jovens universitários do primeiro semestre do Curso de Design de uma instituição privada de ensino superior localizada no município de Xanxerê (SC). Como meio de investigação foi utilizada a pesquisa qualitativa, tendo como suporte a etnografia escolar efetivada através da observação participante, diário de campo e análise documental. Os dados foram coletados através de desenhos realizados pelos jovens universitários após cada proposta apresentada pela pesquisadora, fotografias e anotações, tanto dos próprios alunos, como da investigadora no decorrer dos encontros. Os resultados supriram as expectativas desta pesquisa, demonstrando a importância do desenho no desenvolvimento das inteligências múltiplas e apresentando processos diferenciados para ampliar as Inteligências Pessoais, cinestésico-corporal e espaciais.

The overall goal of this PhD thesis was to know the indicators of high ability / giftedness in students of Physical Education, University of Cruz Alta, RS. The higher education institution has a core of support for the student with special needs, providing pedagogic approach to academics. However, this sector had no official statistical data on the existence of students with high ability / gifted. In this sense, the research will contribute to the core collecting information necessary and relevant to its real purpose in seeking answers to many concerns that these students have, on the premise that the real inclusion of students with high ability / gifted only occur when education engage with them. The specific objectives of the thesis aimed to identify indicators of high ability / gifted students in the Physical Education course, describe the characteristics of indicators of high ability / gifted academic in the present, to understand the perception of academics with indicators of high ability / gifted about themselves as individuals in vocational training and contribute to the formation of teachers' degree course in Physical Education from the University of Cruz Alta. The research was conducted with 30 students from the 7th semester of graduation in Physical Education from the University of Cruz Alta, RS - which met a total of 14 students with characteristics of high ability / gifted. The profile of respondents is old people, aged over 21 years. The choice of this course is because of the same work with the psychomotor area and body-kinesthetic, thus allowing to investigate the three types of high ability / giftedness proposed by Renzulli (1986): the academic, the productive, creative and academic and productive and creative. For data collection we used three instruments: an information in order to delineate the social profile of the subjects, a questionnaire with open questions about the academic life of the subjects and their perceptions about the theme and a specific questionnaire for identifying indicators high abilities / giftedness in adults. After applying the questionnaires, the analysis and discussion of the data and came to the following conclusion: among the subjects surveyed, 7 show indicators of high / skills giftedness. This index can be projected onto other universities as well, there is an urgent need for educational policies geared to students with high ability / gifted. / O objetivo geral desta tese de doutoramento foi conhecer os indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação em acadêmicos do curso de Educação Física da Universidade de Cruz Alta, RS. A instituição de ensino superior conta com um núcleo de apoio ao estudante com necessidades especiais, que presta atendimento pedagógico aos acadêmicos. No entanto, este setor não possuía dados estatísticos oficiais sobre a existência de estudantes com as altas habilidades/superdotação. Neste sentido, a pesquisa poderá contribuir com o núcleo coletando informações necessárias e relevantes para seu real objetivo ao buscar respostas a muitas inquietações que estes alunos apresentam, partindo da premissa de que a verdadeira inclusão dos alunos com altas habilidades/superdotação somente ocorrerá quando a educação se comprometer com os mesmos. Como objetivos específicos, a tese se propôs a identificar indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação em alunos do curso de Educação Física; descrever as características dos indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação presentes nos acadêmicos, compreender a percepção dos acadêmicos com indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação sobre si mesmos como indivíduos em formação profissional e contribuir para a formação docente dos professores do curso de licenciatura de Educação Física da Universidade de Cruz Alta. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com 30 acadêmicos do 7º semestre de graduação em Educação Física da Universidade de Cruz Alta, RS no qual encontrou-se um total de 14 alunos com características de altas habilidades/superdotação. O perfil dos participantes da pesquisa é de pessoas adultas, com idade igual ou superior a 21 anos. A escolha deste curso se deve ao fato de o mesmo trabalhar com a psicomotricidade e a área corporal-cinestésica, permitindo assim investigar os três tipos de altas habilidades/superdotação, propostas por Renzulli (1986): a acadêmica, a produtivo-criativo e a acadêmica e produtivo-criativo. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados três instrumentos: uma ficha de informações, a fim de delinear o perfil social dos sujeitos; um questionário com perguntas abertas sobre a vida acadêmica dos sujeitos e suas percepções sobre a temática e um questionário específico de identificação de indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação em adultos. Após a aplicação dos instrumentos, realizou-se a análise e discussão dos dados e chegou-se a seguinte conclusão: entre os sujeitos pesquisados, 7 apresentam indicadores de altas/habilidades superdotação. Esse índice pode ser projetado sobre outras universidades, assim, é urgente a necessidade de políticas educacionais voltadas aos alunos com altas habilidades/superdotação.

Family Health Staff (FHS), the contribution of their graduations related to specific demands from patients and relatives who deal with alcoholism and other drug addictions, besides that, it also aims to know the main difficulties and amenities present in the assistance given to this group by these professionals. It s been produced with qualitative, descriptive and exploratory methodology, having the city Aracaju and its Basic Health Units (BHU) as research universe. Its research group is made of doctors and nurses from the FHS, in a 36 people cross-section for each of these categories, with proportional distribution according to the number of professionals in each BHU. After we had applied and explored a questionnaire, we grouped the meaning cores and its own registry units, identifying three great themes which are divided in complementary subthemes: the organization of the service which meets these people, the way it s shown, the way it s offered and what is effectively used; the user of alcohol and other drugs in its own social group, family and other particular circles; the professional and its given assistance, showing its difficulties and amenities, besides identifying the professional skills to deal with these problems. The analysis of the results identified that only 8,3% of the doctors and 5,5% of the nurses said that they ve already been in touch with this in any kind of collective health specialization, residency and/or internship in mental health; 50% of the doctors and 94,4% of the nurses mentioned a kind of ineffective academic training, according to the unlinked theory when it comes to reality/poor/discriminatory/pharmacological. Based on this, the professionals talked about the lack of skills to work on this reality, from these, 48,6% pointed the main reason for the lack of technical knowledge; associated to the difficulties related to organization and structure like: lack of specialized professionals (44,4%), absence of the public government and its directed politics (31,9%), the long distance of the Psyco Social Attention Centers (PACs) ()36%, lack of efficaciousness (84,7%) and lack of link to the treatment (51,4%). We ve also observed not sufficient consolidated data in the system of information from the health secretariat, may it be because the lack of care directed to this group. Some structural amenities have been pointed as the organization and damage reduction, professional link, group work and free access. Some social aspects have been noticed which turn it difficult to deal with these substances just like professional disqualification, marginalization of the patients, scape from reality, extreme poverty and prejudice. With the completion of this work, came to light the need of an academic formation provided with innovative practices related to this theme, training in frequent service and awareness from the academics, health professionals, managers for the acquisition of technical competence associated to social commitment, besides the reorganization, updating and instrumentalization of health services, like structural health politics focused on these people and professionals which will be able to reach since the Coordinations, BHUs, credentials, PACs, Medical Emergencies, Therapeutic communities and to sum up, the whole society. / O estudo teve como objetivos conhecer, na perspectiva dos profissionais médicos e enfermeiros das Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESF), a contribuição da sua formação para fazer face às demandas específicas dos pacientes e familiares que convivem com a problemática do álcool e outras drogas, além de conhecer as principais dificuldades e/ou facilidades encontradas na assistência prestada a este grupo. Foi desenvolvido com uma metodologia qualitativa descritiva exploratória, tendo como universo o Município de Aracaju, todas as Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) como unidades de observação e como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário. A população constituiu-se de profissionais médicos e enfermeiros que compõem a ESF, numa amostra calculada de 36 profissionais de cada uma destas categorias, com distribuição proporcional ao número de equipes por unidade de saúde. Para análise dos dados, foram classificados em núcleos do sentido com suas respectivas unidades de registro, identificando-se três grandes temas, os quais se subdividiram em subtemas: organização do serviço, da forma como se apresenta, de como está ofertado e do que efetivamente é utilizado; o usuário de álcool e outras drogas no seu meio social, familiar e consigo mesmo; o profissional com suas dificuldades e facilidades na assistência, a aptidão e a formação para tratar esta problemática. A análise dos resultados identificou que apenas 8,3% dos médicos e 5,5% dos enfermeiros referiram algum tipo de contato prévio como especialização em saúde coletiva, residência e/ou estágio em saúde mental; 50% dos médicos e 94,4% dos enfermeiros referiram uma formação acadêmica ineficaz, pela teoria desvinculada da realidade/pobre/discriminatória. Em vista disto, os profissionais referiram falta de aptidão para atuar junto a esta clientela, dos quais 48,6% apontaram como responsável o conhecimento técnico/capacitação ausente; associado às dificuldades organizacionais e estruturais como: falta de profissionais especializados (44,4%), ausência do poder público com políticas direcionadas (31,9%), distância dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPs) (36%) falta de resolutividade (84,7) e falta de adesão ao tratamento (51,4%). Observou-se no Sistema de Informação da Secretaria de Saúde (SISAN-2013) insuficiente consolidação de dados, ausência de atualização dos programas de computação e ausência de uma linha de cuidado destinado a este grupo. Algumas facilidades estruturais foram apontadas como a existência do matriciamento e da redução de danos, vínculo profissional, trabalho em equipe e livre acesso. Foram citados, participantes da pesquisa, alguns aspectos associados à problemática, tais como desqualificação profissional, marginalização da clientela, fuga da realidade, pobreza extrema e preconceito. Com os dados apresentados aponta-se para a necessidade de formação acadêmica voltada a esta temática, bem como de capacitações em serviço e sensibilização dos acadêmicos, profissionais de saúde e gestores para a aquisição de competência técnica associada ao compromisso social; além da reorganização, atualização e intrumentalização dos serviços em saúde, com políticas de saúde estruturais, voltadas a esta clientela e a estes profissionais, que atinjam desde as Coordenações, UBS, Referências, CAPS, Urgências, Comunidades Terapêuticas à sociedade como um todo.

This study explores the consequences for a historically black university (HBU) of the South African state’s focus on routine and strategic quality evaluation within a policy framework that views higher education as a lever for social change and economic development. It analyses the changing nature of academic work and probes the motivations and understandings of institutional managers and academics in an attempt to explain their responses to policy requirements. The theory of the Evaluative State is employed to examine the nature and consequences of overzealous responsiveness by a historically black university in transition in South Africa. It suggests that the changing relationship between state and university is characterised by contradictions and ambivalence, a result of the interplay between a strong sense of loyalty to the state on the one hand and a recognition of the failure of the state to recognise and reward achievements valued by the HBU. This study suggests that state steering, through the use of output evaluation and efficiency-directed performance indicators, has resulted in failure to achieve central policy goals of development, equity and social justice. The study is guided by one main research question: How do academics in a historically black South African university in transition engage with and implement internal and external quality assurance processes and policies? The literature review reveals significant gaps in understanding the consequences of the rise of the Evaluative State in higher education. A major limitation has been a lack of focus on higher education systems in developing countries and on the consequences of imposing neo-liberal frameworks upon local realities which require redress to remedy historically constructed economic and social disadvantage. The descriptions of academics and institutional managers that emerge in this study highlight stark differences between the two groups in perceptions of and approaches to quality improvement and university work. Significantly, institutional history, context and mission emerge as strong factors shaping academics’ and managers’ responses to change, factors that have largely been disregarded by state policy which focuses more on output achievement than on input variables. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

The emergence of open educational resources has gained popularity and acceptance in higher education institutions and beyond the basic education sector. This brought a persisting shift in depending on information communication technologies for tuition and research provision. Information technology artifact was not treated in isolation to user perspective. The study established how academics accept, feel, perceive, and what skills, opportunities, challenges exist to hinder the domestication. The study context had no uniform guidelines or tools and policy in place for the domestication of open educational resources. The study adopted the exploratory approach guided by the interpretivism paradigm. The study employed Domestication theory. This study conducted in an heterogenous single case study, which is the open distance e-learning (University of South Africa). That was done for an in-depth investigation by relying on multi-methods for data triangulation such as semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews, document analysis, and actual artifact analysis. The total of participants were 52. The study found that most academics played a role in the domestication of open educational resources besides the minority who were unable. The experience and prior knowledge were found to be a factor hindering the domestication process. Open distance e-learning found to relevant space for open educational resources. Such institutions play a role in the adoption and development of open educational resources and mostly rely in information technology for tuition and research. Information technology infrastructure found to be an enabler and disabler in the domestication process. This study contribution to the world of knowledge is based on the theory and practice. Eight theoretical propositions were suggested. The study further contributed by extension of domestication theory as recommended two additional phases which are non-appropriation and dis-appropriation. The current proposed Domestication theory has five phases. Lastly, the study recommended the actual guidelines for adoption and development of open educational resources. This guideline can be adopted by higher education institutions by infusing them in policy development or for general guidance in actual adoption and developments.

Although students have more opportunities than ever before to participate in advanced academic programs while in high school, it is unclear whether this has affected their ability to succeed in college. To determine what impact the students' experiences in Advanced Placement (AP) and dual credit coursework had on their level of college and career readiness (CCR), students were asked to recall what factors influenced their ability to succeed in postsecondary education and describe what information is most beneficial for students as they select their academic pathways. This phenomenological qualitative study gathered data from students that had recently graduated from two high schools in a rapidly growing, suburban school district. Participants in the study reported that the most common benefits from advanced academic programs included more challenging expectations and learning how to navigate the various logistics of postsecondary education. By examining these students' perspectives, the findings from this study may positively influence policy and practice by increasing the likelihood that students are adequately prepared for college and have the ability to succeed at the collegiate level. Continued examination of student experiences in postsecondary education is imperative for improving CCR and may provide more insight into what factors inhibit student success after they graduate. Data collected from a more inclusive sample of participants or perhaps longitudinal data following a cohort through the transition from high school to college could help ensure that educators are able to adequately prepare students for life beyond high school.
