This historical study chronicled events of the development and implementation of the Paris Small Business Development Center at Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas from 1986-2006. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources and oral histories through personal interviews. The analysis included a brief history of higher education and the service mission and situated the study in the broader context as an extension program in higher education. This study provided a brief history of the U.S. Small Business Administration and America’s Small Business Development Center Network as a background for the study. This study is significant to scholars in the field of higher education for a number of reasons. It provides a historical analysis of a service program that extends the college to the community and demonstrates higher education and its role in economic development. It adds to the current body of research by advancing an understanding of a past to contemporary knowledge. Finally, by integrating historical perspectives from multiple disciplines in higher education, what happened and the context in which it happened can be more fully appreciated. This study also contributes to practical knowledge as it deepens the understanding of significant events and processes that contributed to the success of an outreach program in higher education.

El proyecto desarrolla una tipología equipada que no existe en el Perú, que pueda abastecer a niños, niñas y adolescentes tanto en el ámbito de la vivienda, la educación y la salud. Como resultado de proponer esta nueva infraestructura necesaria para el país, se convierta en una tipología representativa de un centro de desarrollo integral y puede ser replicada para futuros y necesarios centros. El proyecto domina el terreno inmediato, ya que está ubicado en la subida de un cerro. Razón por la cual, se usa a la arquitectura para atenuar esta diferencia de alturas entre la fachada principal con la posterior. Asimismo, se plantea una regeneración urbana en la cual se aplican criterios urbanos para la mejora de secciones viales y el diseño de un gran espacio urbano como escenario de conversación entre la ciudad y el centro. Como programas funcionales cuenta con ocho paquetes funcionales: ingreso/hall, residencial, salud, áreas deportivas, administración, áreas de usos diversos, áreas externas y servicios generales. Tiene un área total ocupada de 3245.32 m2. Contempla como esencia sus patios internos que son los espacios articuladores del proyecto. Plantea una planta libre en casi todo el terreno que permite la existencia de los espacios de recreación, jardines terapéuticos para dar una mejor calidad de vida a los albergados, y que no solamente se topen con muros. Este espacio integrado se ha logrado gracias a el manejo de la arquitectura de cada bloque, creando un microclima de patio o bosque por la continuidad espacial de estos. / The project develops an equipped typology that does not exist in Peru, which can supply children and adolescents both in the field of housing, education and health. As a result of proposing this new infrastructure necessary for the country, it becomes a representative typology of an integral development center and can be replicated for future and necessary centers. The project dominates the immediate terrain, since it is located on the rise of a hill. Reason why, architecture is used to attenuate this difference in heights between the main facade and the rear. Likewise, an urban regeneration is proposed in which urban criteria are applied for the improvement of road sections and the design of a large urban space as a setting for conversation between the city and the center. As functional programs it has eight functional packages: entrance / hall, residential, health, sports areas, administration, various uses area, external areas and general services. It has a total occupied area of 3245.32 m2. It essentially contemplates its internal patios, which are the articulating spaces of the project. It proposes a free plan in almost all the land that allows the existence of recreation spaces and therapeutic gardens to give a better quality of life to the sheltered. This integrated space has been achieved thanks to the management of the architecture of each block and due to their spatial continuity, a microclimate is created in each patio. / Tesis

The study of the Clackamas Small Business Development Center's Small Business Management Programs (SBM) had three research objectives: to ascertain what information should be transferred to small business owners and how best to transfer that information; to ascertain what information is presently being transferred to clients and what methods are used in transferring the information; and to survey clients in order to develop a current demographic profile, measure their level of satisfaction with the assistance received, and ascertain what they perceived were the benefits of the program to their companies. Prior to the study, there had been little systematic research of what information should be transferred to SBDC clients and the most effective methods for transferring that information. The small business growth stage literature was used to develop the recommended body of information. The adult learning literature was used to develop the recommended methods for transferring that information to clients. The majority of respondents were women, well educated, middle-aged, and from companies in service related industries that employed few workers. The findings suggest that clients desire an increase in both the appropriateness of the program's informational content and the level of their involvement in tailoring the SBM program to the needs of their organizations. As suggested by the Small Business Growth Stage Models, a statistically significant decline in client satisfaction of the program's informational content was found to exist between stage two and stage three business owners. The study found that instructors did not utilize specific business factors (such as sales levels, numbers of employees, etc.) in developing the informational content of the SBM programs. Instructors also did not utilize client preferred learning styles, or formal client involvement in developing the instructional design of the SBM program. The study found that clients and center personnel appear to differ in their perceptions regarding the role of the instructor and the purpose of the SBM program. Clients appear to envision the role of the instructor as more of a consultant, while instructors view their role as preparing clients to solve their own problems.

Esta investigación nace de una preocupación personal por la situación de la primera infancia en nuestra ciudad, se inicia explicando qué significa ser niño, sus necesidades y desarrollo, para luego hacer referencia a los nuevos equipamientos que surgen para contenerlos y como es que los programas educativos juegan un papel determinante en su crecimiento. Tiene como finalidad centrar la base teórica para la proyección de un Centro de Desarrollo Infantil en el AA.HH. Parque Metropolitano ubicado al sur del distrito de Villa El Salvador, zona que se ha originado por invasiones no planificadas que no siguen la trama originaria y carecen de equipamientos adecuados. Un Centro de Desarrollo Infantil(CDI) es un equipamiento que brinda y promueve el cuidado integral (educación, salud, alimentación, descanso, recreación, etc.) de la primera infancia, para ello contempla ambientes de uso comunitario como parte de su programa puesto que estos servicios le permiten vincularse con la comunidad, adquiriendo así un valor simbólico en el barrio. Son equipamientos que se ubican en zonas urbanas en desarrollo y a través de su programa van generando un cambio social. / This research has born from a personal concern for the situation of early childhood in our city, it begins explaining what it means to be a child, their needs and development, then refer to new equipment that arises to contain them and how educational programs play a decisive role in the growth of children. Its purpose is to focus the theoretical basis for the projection of a Child Development Center in the AA.HH. Parque Metropolitano located to the south of the district of Villa El Salvador, an area that has been originated by unplanned invasions that do not follow the original urban plot and lack of adequate equipment. A Child Development Center (CDI) is an equipment that provides and promotes comprehensive care (education, health, nutrition, rest, recreation, etc.) of early childhood, for that, it provides community services as part of its program because these services allows it to bond with the community and acquire a symbolic value in the neighborhood.
