A macroeconomic policy framework of structural adjustment designed to address problems of international indebtedness, adopted by CARICOM countries in the 1980s, has been associated with a major setback in the process of broad-based socioeconomic development that had been launched in the context of representative government and independence. The study examines the influence of these global/regional trends on state policy, with special reference to how the altered political vision of the state, inherent in structural adjustment policies, appeared to impact the welfare and livelihood of rural women and families in St. Vincent. The study also assesses the extent to which an innovative non-formal education project aimed at community development through the empowerment of women in a rural community, served to mitigate detrimental aspects of these policies and related state practices. The study utilized a feminist research methodology with a combination of interviews, focus groups and observation that provided multiple vantage points on macro and micro dimensions of the study. The author's personal involvement in various aspects of development and the non-formal education project during this period serves as an additional lens. The study argues that a policy framework of structural adjustment severely weakens rural and social development, and is inappropriate to goals of broad-based socioeconomic development in a small island state. The non-formal education project which linked university continuing education to community organizing, served to increase human, physical and social capital, as well as enhance community norms and people's capacity to cope in a deteriorating socioeconomic environment. While this intervention was circumscribed by application to a community's immediate context, it does provide clues as to the kinds of intervention required for a fundamental reassessment of policies. The study further argues that non-formal education interventions can be applied to both micro and macro level situations and that their effectiveness in addressing social change depends on their inclusion of political education about macro/micro links and gender conscientization. Such interventions can strengthen advocacy for policies prioritizing human development within a women's human rights framework.

A presente pesquisa objetivou investigar a criação de um novo habitus a partir da história e memórias da Escola de Administração (EA) da UFRGS que completou 20 anos em 2016. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento documental e fotográfico dos 20 anos da instituição, além de entrevistas de história oral com agentes vinculados a ela durante este período. As falas foram subdivididas nas categorias: história, memória e habitus e analisadas a partir de referencial teórico de Pierre Bourdieu e Joel Candau. Evidenciou-se nas falas que o campo de pesquisa demonstrou as razões práticas de todas as relações sociais e interações junto aos agentes. As mudanças de entendimento e encaminhamento de vida a partir das experiências vivenciadas no campo acadêmico resultaram em transformações práticas, tais como: i) Docentes – aplicação de novas metodologias em sala de aula; descoberta do papel de líder, gerador e inspirador de conhecimento; maior respeito à participação dos alunos em sala de aula. ii) Discentes – descoberta de competências próprias; crescimento profissional e pessoal; vocação acadêmica; entendimento da atuação profissional em áreas como marketing, finanças e outras; responsabilidade por gerir e se relacionar com pessoas; ativismo político. iii) Técnicos – sentido para a vida. Confirma assim, que as estruturas estabelecidas na EA contribuíram para a formação de um novo habitus, considerando os efeitos e os espaços de possibilidades desse campo social, da reprodução, do capital cultural, da conversão do olhar percebida em todos os atores sociais a ela vinculados. / The present research aimed to investigate the creation of a new habitus from the history and memories of the School of Administration (EA) of UFRGS, which completed 20 years in 2016. For that, a documentary and photographic survey of the institution's 20 years was carried out. Of oral history interviews with agents linked to her during this period. The lines were subdivided into the categories: history, memory and habitus and analyzed from the theoretical reference of Pierre Bourdieu and Joel Candau. It was evidenced in the speeches that the field of research demonstrated the practical reasons of all the social relations and interactions with the agents. Changes in the understanding and routing of life from the experiences lived in the academic field have resulted in practical transformations, such as: i) Teachers - application of new methodologies in the classroom; discovery of the role of leader, generator and inspirer of knowledge; respect for student participation in the classroom. ii) Students - self-discovery; professional and personal growth; academic vocation; understanding of professional performance in areas such as marketing, finance and others; responsibility for managing and relating to people; political activism. iii) Technicians - meaning for life. It confirms that the structures established in the EA have contributed to the formation of a new habitus, considering the effects and spaces of possibilities of this social field, of reproduction, of cultural capital, of the conversion of the perceived look in all social actors linked to it

No. of bitstreams: 1 GRAZIELLA PEREIRA VIEIRA.pdf: 1668145 bytes, checksum: c820632a45294b9f9916d1f92cc656fb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-12-20 / The project that gave rise to this dissertation is linked to the Research Line "State, Policies and Educational Institutions of the Graduate Program in Education at PUC Goiás and it is articulated to the Research Group ―Educational Policies and School Management‖, CNPq, and to the ―Nucleus Educational Research‖ at PUC Goiás as well. The purpose of this study is school management. It results from a qualitative research, of theoretical character, in the state of art modality combined with content analysis. A critical review was carried out of the theses and dissertations defended in the period 2012-2013 in the Graduate Programs in Education recommended by the Commission for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes). Its main objective is to identify conceptions of educational management, as well as to investigate the process of democratic management in public educational institutions, based on the critical balance. The specific objectives are: to revise the literature regarding the conceptions of school management and democracy; to map and perform the critical assessment of the theses and dissertations defended in the Graduate Programs in Education, in the years of 2012-2013, and to organize their categories and content analysis in order to identify conceptions of school management. The research problem consists of the following question: What conceptions of school management are revealed by the analysis of theses and dissertations defended in the period of 2012-2013 in the Graduate Programs in Education? The theoretical framework contemplates the following axes: 1) conceptions of democracy and democratic school management, based on the ideas of: Paro (2000, 2010 and 2015); Brzezinski (2012); Sander (2007); Carvalho (2012); Ferreira (2006); Eisenstadt (2000); Coutinho (2002; 2008); Chauí (2000); Dallari (1984); Vieira and Farias (2011); 2) the organization of work: Pinto (2007); Coutinho (2002); 3) the state of knowledge and content analysis: Brzezinski (2006; 2014) and Franco (2005). For the definition of the sample, a survey of 11 theses and 44 dissertations was made available in the Capes portal and in the Postgraduate Education Programs data of the country that were defended in the years 2012-2013. The works were read for the elaboration of expanded abstracts based on the Latin American Educational Documentation Network (Reduc) model. Of the 11 theses and 44 dissertations systematized and organized in an analytical matrix the following categories of analysis emerged from: educational management or school administration; Identity of the manager and administrator; Characteristics of democratic management; School management and the results of standardized tests, and institutional organization, levels and stages of teaching and programs. The conclusion from the analysis of the 11 theses and 44 dissertations was that the school administration conceptions, managerialism and school management are present in the student production. However, there is a predominance of characteristics of managerial management that prioritize the achievement of goals set by the government and the results of institutional evaluations. It is evident that managerialism is the most practiced management model in Brazilian public education. / O projeto que deu origem a esta dissertação é vinculado à Linha de Pesquisa ―Estado, Políticas e Instituições Educacionais do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da PUC Goiás e está articulado ao Grupo de Pesquisa Políticas Educacionais e Gestão Escolar, do CNPq e ao Núcleo de Pesquisa em Educação da PUC Goiás. O objeto deste estudo é a gestão escolar. Resulta de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter teórico, na modalidade estado da arte combinada com análise de conteúdo. Foi realizado um balanço crítico das teses e dissertações defendidas no período de 2012-2013 nos programas de Pós- Graduação em Educação, recomendados pela Comissão de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal do Nível Superior (Capes). Tem por objetivo geral identificar concepções de gestão educacional, bem como investigar o processo de gestão democrática nas instituições públicas de ensino, com base no balanço crítico. Os objetivos específicos são revisitar a literatura concernente as concepções da gestão escolar e democracia, mapear e realizar o balanço crítico acerca das teses e dissertações defendidas nos programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação nos anos de 2012- 2013 e proceder a organização das categorias e a análise de conteúdo das teses e dissertações, com vista a identificar concepções de gestão escolar. O problema de pesquisa consiste na seguinte indagação: Que concepções de gestão escolar são reveladas pela análise das teses e dissertações defendidas no período de 2012-2013 nos programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação? O referencial teórico contempla os seguintes eixos: 1) concepções de democracia e gestão democrática escolar, com apoio em ideias de Paro (2000; 2010; 2015); Sander (2007); Carvalho (2012); Ferreira (2006); Eisenstadt (2000); Coutinho (2002, 2008); Chauí (2000); Dallari (1984); Vieira e Farias (2011); 2) a organização do trabalho: Pinto (2007); Coutinho (2002); 3) o estado do conhecimento e análise de conteúdo: Brzezinski (2006; 2012; 2014), Franco (2005), entre outros. Para a definição da amostra, foi realizado um levantamento de 11 teses e 44 dissertações disponibilizadas no portal da Capes e no banco de dados dos programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação do país que foram defendidas nos anos de 2012-2013. Fez-se a leitura integral dos trabalhos para elaboração de resumos expandidos com base no modelo Rede de Documentação Educacional da América Latina (Reduc). Das 11 teses e 44 dissertações sistematizadas e organizadas em uma matriz analítica emergiram as seguintes categorias de análise: gestão educacional ou administração escolar; identidade do gestor e do administrador; características da gestão democrática; gestão escolar e o resultado de avaliações por testes estandardizados; e organização institucional, níveis e etapas de ensino e programas. Conclui-se a partir da análise das 11 teses e 44 dissertações que as concepções administração escolar, gerencialismo e gestão escolar estão presentes na produção discente. Entretanto, há a predominância de características da gestão gerencial que priorizam o atingimento de metas estipulados pelo governo e os resultados das avaliações institucionais. Fica evidente que o gerencialismo é o modelo de gestão mais praticado na educação pública brasileira.

This study aimed at exploring the school effectiveness characteristics of two high schools, one with high (School A) and one with low (School B) levels of placement ratio in &Ouml / SS for their graduates, to observe their characteristics as perceived by their stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, school administrative staff and managers). In this study, a comparative pre-structured case study method was employed. The study was conducted in two private high schools in the province of Ankara, Turkey. The participants were 10 students, 10 teachers, 10 parents, 2 non-academic staff and 3 administrators from School A, and 10 students, 10 teachers, 7 parents, 3 non-academic staff and 2 administrators from School B. A framework drawn by the researcher as a result of review of relevant literature was used to conceptualize the study and to guide the interview schedules to collect data. According to this framework, six general areas in effective school literature were explored. These areas were academic emphasis, organization and administration, school climate, home-school relations, teaching staff, and physical and financial resources. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using content analysis technique. The findings revealed that two case schools had major differences almost in all areas explored. The only major similarity between two schools was in the leadership and leader qualities under organization and administration area. The effective school characteristics of the school with high levels of placement ratio in &Ouml / SS, in all six areas explored were added to the conceptual framework drawn at the beginning of the study.
