The Vocabulary Research Database (VRD) is a research tool comprised of a compilation of state-of-the art academic research in the field of vocabulary acquisition and pedagogy. The VRD has flexible search features that allow users to obtain higher granularity than is possible with other free databases and online search options currently available, making the results more relevant and manageable. These features include the ability to constrain results by date, author, publication, sub-topics, keywords, citation numbers, journal impact factors, and participant ages. It is anticipated that the ability to manipulate results, combined with relevant and current content, will provide language professionals with a valuable tool for accessing vocabulary-specific research, enabling them to better inform and improve their work.

Depuis la loi du 15 juillet 1982, la valorisation des résultats de la recherche constitue l'une des missions de la recherche publique. Enjeu majeur du système de recherche français, l'objectif de valorisation a été saisi par le droit, qui tente, par différents moyens, de l'encourager et de l'organiser. La présente étude fait apparaître que la régulation juridique de la valorisation s'opère en deux temps. Dans un premier temps, le législateur s'efforce de rapprocher les sphères publique et privée, estompant la frontière qui les sépare, afin de faciliter la circulation des résultats de la recherche. La régulation institutionnelle de la valorisation passe ainsi par la création d'un cadre juridique favorable à son accomplissement, notamment par des incitations fiscales au profit des entreprises, des structures ad hoc destinées aux établissements et une adaptation du métier de chercheur. Dans un second temps, le législateur délègue aux établissements la charge de conjuguer la valorisation avec les autres missions de la recherche publique. Les établissements doivent alors concilier des objectifs parfois contradictoires. Pour ce faire, ils s'appuient sur le contrat pour reconstituer la frontière entre la recherche publique et les entreprises et réaliser la valorisation de leurs résultats. La souplesse et l'adaptabilité de la technique contractuelle permettent, avec des outils de droit commun – tels que les contrats d'entreprise ou de vente –, de valoriser l'ensemble des résultats de la recherche et des compétences des chercheurs. De cette manière, les établissements parviennent à sauvegarder leurs intérêts et, plus fondamentalement, ceux de la recherche publique, tout en accomplissant leur mission de valorisation. / L'auteur n'a pas fourni de résumé en anglais.

O tema do estudo aborda o DSES. Questiona a atual contribuição da pesquisa acadêmica com relação ao tema e tem por objetivo principal propor contribuições que incrementem as práticas do DSES através do Ensino da Sustentabilidade (ES). Para tanto, investigou 4 universidades não estatais, avaliando 12 projetos de pesquisa e suas contribuições para o DSES e para com as práticas do ES. A organização deste trabalho consiste na introdução; referencial teórico; metodologia; análise e discussão dos resultados e bibliografia. A Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) apontou para a lacuna na produção científica no que se refere à ampliação do conhecimento na DSES por meio da utilização de resultados de pesquisa acadêmica no ES. A literatura revisada foi codificada como DSES, ES, Barreiras ao DSES e Pesquisa Acadêmica. Referente à metodologia de pesquisa, trata-se, quanto ao método científico, de uma pesquisa de característica indutiva e, quanto aos métodos de pesquisa, evidencia-se um estudo aplicado, exploratório, de casos múltiplos e de caráter qualitativo. O protocolo de pesquisa apresentou os questionamentos que foram elaborados pelo doutorando, considerando a RSL, que orientou um processo semiestruturado de coleta de dados. As entrevistas com os pesquisadores das universidades participantes do estudo foram presenciais e via Skype. Apresenta-se também um modelo de Sistema de DSES a ser utilizado na análise e discussão dos resultados: trabalha-se com a síntese dos achados onde; o diálogo com a literatura; as contribuições da Tese; e as considerações finais apontando para a comprovação da Tese, o atendimento aos objetivos e a possibilidades de estudos futuros. / The present study aims at the defense of Thesis regarding the use of academic research in the Sustainable Development in Higher Education (SDHE), as a requirement to obtain a Doctorate in the Postgraduate Program in Production Engineering and Systems of the Polytechnic School of the University of Valley of the Sinos River - UNISINOS. The subject of the study addresses the SDHE. It questions the current contribution of the academic research in relation to the theme and its main objective is to propose contributions that increase the practices of the SDHE through the Teaching of Sustainability (TS). To this end, it investigated 4 non-state universities, evaluating 12 research projects and their contributions to the SDHE and TS practices. The organization of this work consists of the introduction; theoretical reference; methodology; analysis and discussion of results and bibliography. The Systematic Review of Literature (SRL) pointed to the gap in scientific production regarding the expansion of knowledge in the SDHE through the use of academic research results in TS. The revised literature was codified as SDHE, TS, Barriers to SDHE and Academic Research. Regarding the research methodology, it is a question of a research of inductive characteristic, as far as the scientific method is concerned, and an exploratory, multiple-case, qualitative study is evidenced. The research protocol presented the questions that were elaborated by the doctoral student, considering the SRL that guided a semi-structured process of data collection. The interviews with the researchers of the participating universities of the study were presential and through Skype. A System model in the SDHE to be used in the analysis and discussion of the results is also presented: we work with the synthesis of the findings: the dialogue with literature; the contributions of the Thesis; the final considerations pointing to the proof of the Thesis; the attendance to the objectives and the possibilities of future studies.

These concepts were brought up by the educational research, and expressed by dissertations and thesis in the Brazilian Graduate Programs. The dissertations and the thesis were chosen based on the fact that they are accessible to a possible development of a master's thesis, and because if these productions cannot be classified as high-end work, they express the production of the Brasilian Graduate Programs that can be considered as the locus of the most advanced social research in the country. The analysis of the content has been employed as the procedure for the analysis of research to demonstrate the subjects pointed out in the work. It is based on the contributions of Marshall (1967), Bobbio (2004), Castilho (2011), Arendt (2009), Carvalho (2011), and other authors that use research in education with the focus on the concept of citizenship. Sacristán (2000; 2002) and Gentili (1998; 2001). Intend to make in-depth balance with review of research involving school-citizenship through the following indicators: the concept of citizenship, and school-citizenship / Esta pesquisa teve, como objetivo, levantar e analisar as concepções sobre a relação escola e cidadania que estão sendo construídas pelas dissertações e teses defendidas nos programas de Pós-Graduação brasileira. A escolha das dissertações e teses fundou-se no fato de estarem acessíveis a um levantamento possível para uma dissertação de mestrado. Se essas produções não podem ser classificadas como produções de ponta , expressam, porém, a produção dos programas de Pós-Graduação brasileira. Empregou-se, como procedimento, a análise qualitativa do conteúdo das pesquisas, com o intuito de demonstrar os aspectos abordados nos trabalhos. Utilizou-se, como apoio teórico, Marshall (1967), Bobbio (2004), Castilho (2011), Arendt (2009), Carvalho (2011) e autores que, em seus estudos, em educação, focalizam a questão da cidadania Sacristán (2000; 2002) e Gentili (1998; 2001). Pretendeu-se efetuar balanço em profundidade das pesquisas que envolvem a relação entre escola e cidadania, por meio dos seguintes indicadores: concepção de cidadania e a relação escolacidadania. Constatou-se que as pesquisas analisadas relacionam a cidadania aos direitos e deveres, é concebida como histórica modifica-se de acordo com as transformações da sociedade , é tida como sinônimo de direitos humanos, difere das leis proclamadas e das práticas vivenciadas pelas pessoas e, por fim, focaliza os excluídos dos direitos da cidadania. Para tratar da relação escola-cidadania, adotada pelas investigações, pode-se verificar a predominância dos estudos na perspectiva propositiva, as quais consideram o acesso à educação como condição de acesso à cidadania

In dialogue with the historical and dialectical materialism and qualitative approach, developed a literature in which it assumes, based on Freire (1996, 2005), that education is an intentional human activity, a practice fraught with social meanings and values , which aims to fundamental human emancipation. The problem of our research was formulated in the following question: The academic productions of the Post - gradation in Education of the Midwest Region of Brazil, which are based on a critical perspective of education, have offered subsidies for teacher training in perspective emancipatory? The goal is to understand the concepts of teacher training involved in academic productions of the Post -Graduate Education of the Midwest, defended in the period 1999-2007. Therefore, we performed in the first two chapters, a raid in historical Brazilian pedagogical ideas and conceptions of teacher training, which offered theoretical elements for the construction of three categories of production analysis: practice, teaching and designing education / emancipatory education. From our analysis, we conclude that, in general, the knowledge produced by these works contributes many benefits to strength, to build a concept of counter-hegemonic formation in an emancipatory perspective. And , to achieve the purpose of emancipation as put up also as challenges to academic research critical : a proper understanding of transformative praxis , the articulation of political, technical, ethical and aesthetic of teacher training , the perception of political- ideological consciousness teacher in their social function , but associated with aspects of human subjectivity in the constitution of being a teacher . It is also noticed the need for greater vigilance epistemological (MAGALHÃES; SOUZA, 2011), as well as the articulation of the ontological, axiological and gnosiological in some studies directly related to the definition of worldviews, society, male and education that underlie their research. We are therefore referring us to an understanding on the part of researchers , the roots of thought that guide your eyes to reality , which may even compromise the quality of the research and its potential mediating role in the transformation of society and the construction of a new sociability as a liberating perspective. / Este trabalho tem como tema as concepções de formação de professores e se integra à investigação desenvolvida pela Rede de Pesquisadores sobre Professores(as) do Centro-oeste (Redecentro), ligada à linha de pesquisa Formação, Profissionalização docente e práticas educativas. Em diálogo com o materialismo histórico-dialético e a abordagem qualitativa, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica em que se parte do pressuposto, fundamentado em Freire (1996; 2005), de que a educação é uma atividade humana intencional, uma prática social eivada de sentidos e valores, que tem como finalidade fundamental a emancipação humana. O problema de nossa pesquisa foi formulado na seguinte questão: As produções acadêmicas dos Programas de Pós-Gradação em Educação da Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil, que se pautam em uma perspectiva crítica de educação, têm oferecido subsídios à formação de professores em uma perspectiva emancipatória? O objetivo é compreender as concepções de formação de professores implicadas nas produções acadêmicas dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Região Centro-oeste, defendidas no período de 1999 a 2007. Para tanto, realizamos, nos dois primeiros capítulos, uma incursão histórica no ideário pedagógico brasileiro e nas concepções de formação de professores, o que ofereceu elementos teóricos para a construção de três categorias de análise da produção: práxis, trabalho docente e concepção de educação/formação contra-hegemônica. A partir das análises, concluímos que, de forma geral, o conhecimento produzido por esses trabalhos contribui com muitos subsídios para a resistência, para a construção de uma concepção de formação contra-hegemônica, em uma perspectiva emancipatória. E, para alcançar a emancipação enquanto finalidade, colocam-se, ainda, como desafios à pesquisa acadêmica crítica: a adequada compreensão da práxis transformadora, a articulação das dimensões política, técnica, ética e estética da formação docente, a percepção da consciência político-ideológica do professor na sua função social, mas associada a aspectos da subjetividade humana na constituição do ser professor. Percebe-se ainda, a necessidade de maior vigilância epistemológica (MAGALHÃES; SOUZA, 2011), assim como a articulação dos pressupostos ontológicos, axiológicos e gnosiológicos em alguns trabalhos, diretamente relacionados à definição das visões de mundo, sociedade, homem e educação que fundamentam suas pesquisas. Estamos, portanto, referindo-nos à compreensão, por parte dos pesquisadores, das raízes do pensamento que orientam o seu olhar para a realidade, o que pode, até mesmo, comprometer a qualidade da pesquisa e seu potencial papel mediador na transformação da sociedade e na construção de uma nova sociabilidade conforme a perspectiva emancipadora.

Background and Research Problem: Universities are complex and diversified institutions playing an active role in society. Besides education and research universities are now assigned a new role of commercialization of academic research. There is pressure on universities to act as a bridge for transfer of knowledge to industries and generate resources. As this role of commercialization is comparatively new for the universities so they face challenges and difficulties in managing commercialization along with education and research. In order to overcome these challenges some support structures has been introduced in the form of Technology Transfer Office (TTO) or Industry Liaison Office (ILO). As the role and support structures are new, so there is a need to develop such a managerial system which can better integrate the activities related to commercialization of academic research.   Research Purpose: This is a case study of Umeå University conducted to understand and evaluate the commercialization activities and functioning of support structures. The specific purpose is to investigate and suggest that, how universities having support structures but lacking success stories and track records, should manage its commercialization activities.   Method: Qualitative research methods are used and semi-structured interviews have been conducted from eight respondents. Umeå University has been used as a case study. Concluding Comments: On the basis of this study we would like to comment that, Umeå University is committed to perform its third role of contribution towards society and there is adequate infrastructure available in terms of support structures. But still as this role is new for the university and carrying on commercialization activities while insuring freedom of research is a challenging task. So, a detailed evaluation of existing support structures and reorganization of their existing activities is required. It may also require better understanding and communication of the concept of commercialization, generation of new ideas and a greater attention, both from the support structures and central management of the university.
