Face aux transformations sociales dont le rythme semble s’accélérer, le monde éducatif est constamment sollicité pour inventer de nouvelles manières de rencontrer les besoins qui en découlent. Une des réponses n’est autre que la création de nouveaux métiers tels que le conseil pédagogique dans lequel l’accompagnement semble occuper une place de choix.Le projet de cette recherche est de proposer une compréhension de l’activité d’accompagnement par le prisme des processus mentaux de conseillers pédagogiques de l’enseignement fondamental en Belgique francophone en situation d’entretien d’accompagnement de directions.Une approche constructiviste, marquée par le paradigme de l’activité dans son acceptation matérialiste et une démarche qualitative ont permis d’élaborer un outil d’analyse - les agirs mentaux –qui possède comme fonction de saisir l’activité mentale dans sa dimension processuelle. Croisé avec un outil issu d’une opérationnalisation des travaux de John Dewey sur l’enquête, cet outil tente de rendre compte des processus mentaux en croisant quatre composantes : a) les opérations de liaison entre les représentations des sujets, b) les intentions mobilisatrices de ces opérations de liaison, c) le format de communication du sujet avec lui-même et enfin d) la construction temporelle de son activité.Les principaux résultats sont de trois natures : 1) des résultats méthodologiques avec la création d’un outil de recueil de données (l’entretien de rétrospection), un outil d’analyse des processus mentaux (cité plus haut) et l’opérationnalisation d’un outil d’analyse de l’activité d’investigation que constitue « l’enquête » de John Dewey, 2) des résultats relatifs aux processus mentaux de conseillers pédagogiques en situation d’accompagnement de directions avec l’identification de configurations spécifiques d’agirs mentaux lors de certains actes posés par les CP et enfin 3) des résultats qui prennent la forme de pistes didactiques suite à un déplacement de posture de chercheur à formateur et qui permettent l’identification de la gestion de l’incertitude, structurellement instituée par les conseillers pédagogiques, comme fil conducteur de leur activité d’accompagnement. / In today's world where the speed of social transformation seems to be ever increasing, the educational field is constantly called upon to come up with new ways to meet the new needs that arise. One of its answers has been nothing less than the creation of new professions such as educational counselling, where personal accompanying seems to hold a privileged position.The goal of this research project is to develop an understanding of the activity of accompanying through the prism of the mental processes of educational advisors in accompanying situations, specifically those advisors working in the field of basic education in the French-speaking part of Belgium.A constructivist approach, characterized by the activity paradigm in its materialist sense, coupled with a qualitative approach have led to the creation of an analytical tool - that of mental acts - whose function is to grasp mental activity in its processual dimension. Alongside a tool obtained by operationalizing John Dewey's work on inquiry, this tool aims to understand mental processes at the crossroads of four components: a) linking operations between subject representations, b) the mobilizing intentions of these linking operations, c) the communication format of the subject with himself, and finally d) the temporal construction of his activity.The main results fall into three categories: 1) methodological results culminating the in creation of a data gathering tool (the retrospective interview), a tool for the analysis of mental processes (mentioned above), and the operationalization of John Dewey's notion of inquiry as a tool for analysing investigative activity; 2) results relating to the mental processes of educational advisors in accompanying situations along with the identification of the specific configuration of mental acts that accompany certain actions undertaken by the advisors; 3) results in the form of pedagogical advice that follows from a shift in posture from that of researcher to that of trainer, one that allows for the identification of uncertainty management, structurally established by the educational advisors, as the guiding principle of their accompanying activity.

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que buscou conhecer o trabalho do orientador pedagógico (OP) na rede do município de Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. Especificamente, buscou-se responder as seguintes questões de pesquisa: (a) Quais os dispositivos legais que conformam a profissão do OP no município de Duque de Caxias?, (b) que atribuições são demandadas pela escola a este profissional? e (c) como o OP percebe o trabalho por ele desempenhado na escola? Para a realização da pesquisa, partimos de uma retrospectiva histórica da função deste profissional, por meio da análise de documentos legais (leis, decretos, pareceres e diretrizes), identificando marcos da constituição desta profissão. A pesquisa também fez uso de entrevistas a uma amostra de orientadores que atuam na rede escolar desse município, escolhidos de forma aleatória. As entrevistas foram analisadas segundo orientações de Bardin e visaram à identificação do modo como este profissional concebe a sua atuação no âmbito da orientação pedagógica na escola. Por meio de análise estatística aos dados dos diretores da Prova Brasil 2009, a pesquisa buscou ainda identificar, em uma perspectiva panorâmica, como a direção da escola percebe o trabalho do orientador pedagógico. A análise aos documentos evidenciou mudanças significativas na concepção e atuação do orientador pedagógico, ampliando sua atuação às questões da gestão escolar. As análises estatísticas evidenciaram que a maioria das escolas públicas brasileiras conta com o apoio de um orientador pedagógico e que o diretor escolar considera fundamental contar com tal profissional na unidade. As entrevistas evidenciaram que os orientadores pedagógicos se enxergam como um elemento de potencialidade nas escolas e colocam em destaque a necessidade de uma formação profissional que dê conta tanto dos aspectos políticos envolvidos na gestão educacional, como dos aspectos pedagógicos demandados pela escola / This paper presents the results of an investigation that sought to know the work of the instructional designer ( OP ) in the municipality of Duque de Caxias , Rio de Janeiro network.

O estudo traz a reflexão sobre o assessoramento pedagógico como um processo de interação entre pares, proporcionando espaços formativos mais significativos no contexto universitário, visto que muitos docentes universitários ainda têm uma visão do ensinar como transmissão de conhecimentos somente. Para compreender melhor a realidade desta formação oferecida pelas iniciativas pesquisadas, escolhemos como participantes do estudo assessores pedagógicos dos espaços de formação existentes nas universidades estaduais paulistas, que foram o Centro de Estudos e Práticas Pedagógicas – CENEPP/UNESP, o Espaço de Apoio de Ensino e Aprendizagem – EA2/UNICAMP e o Grupo de Apoio Pedagógico (Ribeirão Preto) – GAPRP/USP. Estes participantes são docentes das referidas universidades que assumem a responsabilidade por organizarem e oferecerem a formação pedagógica aos demais docentes. A pesquisa enveredou pela abordagem qualitativa, focando seu olhar num estudo de caso múltiplo, porque a partir das similaridades entre os casos escolhidos, buscamos a identificação de suas singularidades. Os dados foram coletados por meio de análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante de algumas inciativas de formação desses espaços. Os dados obtidos foram organizados em dimensões e analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados nos indicam que há muitos desafios relativos à formação pedagógica do docente universitário e que os espaços existentes ainda lutam para se tornarem lugares e territórios de formação. Há dificuldades institucionais e concepções que limitam o trabalho de formação pedagógica docente efetiva. As necessidades detectadas estão nas questões da institucionalização dos espaços, na formação dos assessores, nos formatos das propostas, na falta de valorização do profissional que assume tais assessorias. No entanto, há o reconhecimento do importante trabalho que já realizam, oferecendo formação àqueles que buscam aprimorar sua profissão docente, compreendendo a necessidade de ir além da transmissão no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. / This research intended to find that training concepts are present in university institutional spaces that affect training practices of pedagogical advisors, share responsibility for the pedagogical training process of university teachers and how these concepts contribute to the qualification of the place of formation of these teachers. The study brings a reflection on the pedagogical assistance as a peer interaction process, providing more significant formative spaces in the university context, since it is known that many academics still have a view of teaching as transmission of knowledge only. To better understand the reality of the training offered by the surveyed initiatives, chosen as the study participants pedagogical advisors spaces of formation of São Paulo state universities , which were the Center for Studies and Pedagogical Practices - CENEPP/UNESP, the Education Support Space and learning - EA2/UNICAMP and the Group of Educational Support (Ribeirão Preto) - GAPRP/USP. These participants are teachers of the said universities that take responsibility for organizing and offering teacher training to other teachers. The research was developed by the qualitative approach, focusing his gaze on a multiple case study, because from the similarities between the chosen cases, we seek to identify its singularities. The data were collected through documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews and participant observation of some initiatives of formation of these spaces. The materials were organized in dimensions and analyzed using content analysis. The results indicate that there are many challenges on the pedagogical training of university professors and the spaces are still struggling to become places and training areas. There are institutional difficulties and concepts that limit the effective teaching teacher training work. The identified needs are the issues of institutionalization of spaces, training of advisors in the proposed format, the lack of appreciation of the professional who takes such advisories. However, there is recognition of the important work they have carried out, providing training to those looking to improve their teaching profession, including the need to go beyond the transmission in the process of teaching and learning.

This thesis presents three essays, with the first two focusing on the insider role of M&A advisors and the effectiveness of insider trading rule, while the third essay looks into the effects of product market competition on corporate cash holdings. The main hypothesis of the first and second essay is that the advisory banks that are privy to non-public deal information might have high motivation to exploit this privileged information by taking a position in a takeover target ahead of a deal and realise an excess return upon deal announcement. This motivation for and act of “insider trading” might be attenuated by the insider trading rules Rule10b5-1 and Rule10b5-2, which were released in 2000.The first essay examines the presence of acquiror advisors’ holdings in targets and their trading strategy on such holdings before deal announcement. Using an aggregate level of stake-holding in the target firm by a financial conglomerate/brands with which the advisor to the acquiror is affiliated, we find that advisory brands start to take and accumulate holdings in targets at least seven quarters before deal announcement through to announcement quarter. The stake-holding is significantly larger than that of a non-advisory brand group that is defined. We argue that these results imply the direct link between advisory holdings, advisor identity and the strong intentions of trading on private deal information. However, this tendency is markedly attenuated in the post-rule period after 2000. This change in advisory brand trading strategy on target stocks ahead of a deal with the passage of rules suggests a positive deterrence effect of the insider trading rule. In the second essay, we investigate the profitability of this trading strategy by advisory brands to acquirors taking stake in targets ahead of a deal. Results suggest that both the level and the build-up (increase) of an advisory stake between the last two quarters immediately preceding deal announcement are positively related to the target return. These results are consistent with the view that advisory brands trade on their privileged deal information by taking and increasing holdings in targets ahead of deals to profit from the increase in target share price. In our sub-period analysis, results suggest that all the coefficients become much smaller and insignificant for the post-rule period after 2000. This again indicates a strongly positive deterrent effect of regulation, which further confirms the conclusion of the first essay. The third essay is related to both the static and dynamic effect of product market competition on firm cash holdings. We find that the intensity of product market competition measured by product similarity from Hoberg and Phillips (2010, 2011) has a significant positive effect on firm cash holdings, after controlling for other measures including the Industry Herfindahl Index and industry fluidity. This suggests that firms in a more competitive industry reserve more cash as their war chest or preemptive tool against competitors. Further, Vector Autoregression (VAR) and analyses of shock show that when there is a sudden increase in product similarity/competition level (shock), firms use cash to fight off competition, leading to a decrease in cash holdings.

Thesis "frauds committed by financial advisors and its prevention" introduces the concepts of fraud, reasons for fraud, types of frauds and prevention suggestion. Financial advisors misuse the imperfections of insurance products and financial illiteracy of people for their own enrichment. This topic is very up to date for insurance companies. These cases are not publicized in media to protect the insurance companies. Within the thesis there was carried out a research among financial advisors in order to confirm or disprove the claim that financial advisors commit such offenses. It provides information for potential clients that would help them to be more conscious and to prevent them from concluding disadvantageous contracts. Recommendations are designed also for the insurance companies in the form of anti-fraud information system.

abstract: This mixed methods action research study closely examines what Club Advisors need in order to be successful in their role, develops an intervention that supports Club Advisors in skill-building along with Club Advisor’s self-motivation and the development of self-efficacy in their role. The purpose of this study was to understand what skills and motivations Club Advisors had and after an intervention occurred, observing whether their self-efficacy around club advising increased. While there has been growth in the area of student affairs and focus on student involvement outside of the classroom, there is currently limited research in the field of university Club Advising as the resources exist informally. The formal literature which does exist does not agree on what skills are needed to be a Club Advisor and does not bridge the gap between theory and practice. The lack of formal research on Club Advising impacts the student experience through Club Advisors not receiving the resources they need. Ensuring the Club Advisors who do volunteer their time are set-up to develop their students successfully requires additional research. This research study used surveys, interviews, memos, and workshop interventions to understand where Club Advisors were developmentally and how to develop them further. Club Advisors in the study wanted to use the resources and connect with others, but before this study did not know how or where to connect. Future cycles of research beyond this study would expand upon the findings and create a foundation for Club Advisor development. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2020

This quantitative study utilized surveys to explore how science doctoral students receive support from their dissertation advisors and its relationship to graduate student success outcomes. The survey was distributed to active doctoral students majoring in the sciences at one large, public, Southeastern University. Within examining how the support science doctoral students receives relates to graduate student success outcomes, the study also examined additional factors that could influence graduate student success such as the participant size of the laboratory group, experience with undergraduate research, and time in program. Findings revealed that on average science doctoral students report receiving more psychosocial support than career support. Students who reported higher levels of satisfaction with their laboratory group and those who had female advisors, were more likely to report receiving higher levels of psychosocial support. Also, students who reported higher levels of satisfaction with their laboratory group and having a female advisor, were more likely to report receiving higher levels of career support. Those students who had been the program longer, reported receiving less career support. This was also true for identification. The longer students were in the program, the less likely they would report identifying or wanting to emulate their advisor. There was a statistically significant relationship between overall level of satisfaction with the advisor relationship and receiving career and psychosocial support. There was also a significant relationship between reporting high levels of satisfaction with the advisor relationship and reporting high levels of satisfaction with the laboratory group. Lastly, there was significance found between students reporting identifying with the advisor and expressing high levels of satisfaction with the advisor relationship. No statistically significant relationship was found between the levels of support received and number of academic benchmarks or scholarly works. There was also no statistically significant relationship found between levels of support or graduate student success outcomes with the number of participants in a laboratory group. The study results indicated science doctoral students who have been the most successful at meeting graduate student success outcomes receive more psychosocial support from their advisors than career support. However, the more science students felt that their advisor was assisting them with career support, the more satisfaction they experienced with the overall advisor relationship. Advisors from other disciplines can look to increase the amounts of career support they provide to their students. Time in program was the only significant predictor of number of academic benchmarks met for science doctoral students. This needs to be explored in other disciplines given that most students in the sciences are only in the program for five to six years. The variable, scholarly works, was found to have two significant predictors, which were experience with undergraduate research and having had started the dissertation project. Undergraduate advisors and program directors from all disciplines should look to encourage their students who are interested in pursuing doctoral education to engage in undergraduate research as it will help them to progress more successfully through a graduate program. Doctoral advisors and program directors from all disciplines should look to create a curriculum that encourages students to start their research project as early as possible. The level of satisfaction with the laboratory group was a significant predictor to the satisfaction with the advisor relationship, to receiving more career and psychosocial support, and to identifying the advisor more. Therefore, more research is needed regarding the influence of the laboratory group and graduate student success outcomes in the sciences. Overall, the results of the study provide insight as to how other disciplines and programs may improve their student success outcome rates by understanding some mechanisms that are contributing to the success of science doctoral students.

The primary propose of this study was to identify community college faculty's perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the self-contained campus academic advising center, the importance of the eight established NACADA advising goals, and the role of faculty in the advising process. In addition, the current advising behaviors of faculty at a community college with a self-contained advising system were examined. The study also investigated if perceptions and behaviors regarding advising vary among full-time and part-time faculty. The results of this study provide an overview of community college faculty perceptions and behaviors with regard to academic advising and the established NACADA advising goals. Specifically, over 75% faculty participants indicated that all eight of the NACADA advising goals were "important" or "very important". In addition, over 70% of faculty participants indicated that all eight of the NACADA goals for effective advising should be part of the faculty role. Even though the institution examined in this study employs a self-contained advising structure, over 96% of faculty participants indicated that they had personally advised one or more students in the past year. While full-time and part-time faculty were generally in agreement, data did reveal several significant differences in perceptions. The findings also show a significant positive relationship between faculty perception of their role in the advising process and the number of students they personally advise on all eight of the NACADA goals for effective advising.
