O conhecimento produzido na universidade torna-se acessível à sociedade por meio da extensão universitária. Assim, esta dissertação foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de apresentar um diagnóstico da extensão universitária sob a ótica dos docentes da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná – UTFPR. O estudo foi contextualizado com um amplo referencial baseado em alguns autores, com abordagens a respeito do papel da educação e da universidade com FÁVERO (1980), SILVA (2002) e SANTOS (2005); o uso das tecnologias e mais especificamente a educação tecnológica, em REIS (1995) e LIBÂNEO (2001); a questão da importância da identidade, com BOTOMÉ (2001) e GIDDENS (2002), até focalizar a extensão propriamente dita, com GURGEL (1986), TAVARES (1997) e NOGUEIRA (2000), e associá-la a uma comunidade de prática com WENGER (1998). A abordagem metodológica pautou-se nas pesquisas qualitativa, de natureza interpretativa, e quantitativa, do tipo levantamento. Foram realizadas entrevistas com os gestores para verificar a concepção de extensão universitária existente na Instituição. Foram enviados, simultaneamente, por meio eletrônico, questionários a todos os docentes dos Campi da UTFPR, localizados nas cidades de Apucarana, Campo Mourão, Cornélio Procópio, Curitiba, Dois Vizinhos, Francisco Beltrão, Londrina, Medianeira, Pato Branco, Ponta Grossa e Toledo. Essa ação possibilitou conhecer o entendimento dos docentes em relação às ações extensionistas, as formas de articulação com a sociedade, o uso dos recursos tecnológicos bem como averiguar as opiniões dos professores em relação ao desenvolvimento da cultura extensionista na Instituição. Conclui-se, com esta dissertação, que a extensão não é considerada uma atividade menor em relação ao ensino e à pesquisa na Instituição; que os docentes não têm clareza a respeito do conceito e das funções da extensão universitária na UTFPR e que há necessidade de esclarecimentos sobre a identidade da Instituição. Visando à consolidação da institucionalização da extensão na UTFPR, foram sugeridos o registro e divulgação das ações extensionistas bem como a flexibilização da carga horária docente, com um mecanismo de pontuação do currículo ou definição de métricas. A implantação de comunidades de prática em extensão na UTFPR possibilitaria a criação de espaços para reflexões e sociabilizações de saberes e experiências. Os resultados dessa pesquisa poderão contribuir para um repensar de estratégias que visem ao fortalecimento da função social da UTFPR, para um maior envolvimento da comunidade interna, bem como para a indissociabilidade entre o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão. / The knowledge produced at university becomes available to society through the university extension. Thus, this dissertation was developed with the purpose of presenting a diagnosis of university extension activities under the perspective of professors from Federal University of Technology - Parana - UTFPR. The study was set against a broad framework based on some authors, with approaches to the role of education and university, with FÁVERO (1980), SILVA (2002) and SANTOS (2005); the use of technology and more specifically, technological education, in REIS (1995) and LIBÂNEO (2001); the question of the importance of identity with BOTOMÉ (2001) and GIDDENS (2002), up to focusing on the extension per se, with GURGEL (1986), TAVARES (1997) and NOGUEIRA (2000) and assign it to a community of practice with WENGER (1998). The methodological approach was based on a qualitative research, an interpretive nature, and quantitative, survey-type. Interviews were conducted with managers to verify their point of views over extension definitions currently applied within UTFPR. Simultaneously, a set of questionnaires to all professors of the UTFPR Campi, located in the cities of Apucarana, Campo Mourão, Cornélio Procópio, Curitiba, Dois Vizinhos, Francisco Beltrão, Londrina, Medianeira, Pato Branco, Ponta Grossa and Toledo was sent by mail. This action allowed to know about the professors’understanding in relation to the extension activities, the way they interact with society, the use of technological resources as well as evaluate the professors’ views in relation to cultural development extension at the university. This dissertation concludes that the extension is not considered minor activity in relation to teaching and research at the university; that the professors do not have clarity about the concept and functions of the university extension at UTFPR and there is need for greater understanding on the identity of this university. As a suggestion from professors, aiming at consolidating the institutionalization of extension activities of UTFPR, the registration and disclosure of extension activities as well as the flexibility of teaching hours along with a scoring mechanism of the curriculum or set of metrics. The implementation of communities of practice in the UTFPR extension would provide the creation of spaces for reflection and for knowledge and experience sharing. The results of this research could contribute to a rethinking of strategies aimed at strengthening the social function of UTFPR for greater involvement of the internal community, as well as the inseparability involving education, research and extension.

Over the eighteenth century, ancient history was increasingly read in English, appearing in new forms and interpretations. This reflected the development of history in universities as a subject not merely read, but taught. This teaching took on many forms: serving as a predecessor to other studies, building a knowledge base of case studies for 'higher' subjects, or (increasingly) an independent subject. What ancient history was taught, how was it taught, why was it taught, and what did students go on to use it for? Ancient history as an independent subject had a limited role in the curriculum despite the foundation of Chairs of History in most universities. When it was taught as such, the focus was on explaining modern institutions via ancient comparisons; on the training of statesmen by classical examples; or, more rarely, on demonstrating a particular conception of social development. These uses of history could be seen across both national and subject boundaries. Whilst differences between universities are evident, evidence in the teaching of history suggests the absolute dichotomy between the English and Scottish systems has been overstated. The interesting case of Trinity College Dublin suggests common features across Britain in how 'liberal education' was conceived of and how history fit into it. The practical application of ancient history to the education of statesmen may be seen in the variety of ways it was used in political discourse. This is explored mainly in Parliament, the ultimate destination of the "statesmen" in whose training history was supposed to play a large part, via debates over questions of empire and imperial rights in the second half of the eighteenth century. Superior knowledge of ancient history constituted a rhetorical claim to the twin statuses of gentleman, being classically-educated, and statesman - showing understanding of historical context and precedent.

<p> Despite the increasing research that lists cultural incongruence in the classroom among the top factors that speaks to the disproportionate numbers of Black females obtaining STEM degrees there is limited research on the actual number of Black female science teachers at the secondary level in education and the impact this plays on Black females in science, technology, engineering, and math classrooms (STEM). The consequence of all this is that we find ourselves with Black female science teachers &ldquo;missing in action,&rdquo; and only 5% of Black females receiving a STEM degree. I employ critical pedagogy, critical race theory, and Black feminist thought to answer: (a) What do the stories of Black female secondary science teachers tell us about issues related to their recruitment and retention within the science teaching force? (b) How do Black female secondary science teachers explain the shortage of Black females entering the STEM field? What do they believe should be done to increase the number of Black females in the field? (c) What contributions do Black female secondary science teachers make or potentially would like to make to increase the number of Black females entering and remaining within the science teaching force? This study explores how Black women are absent in the conversation about recruitment and retention of secondary science teachers. To answer the research questions in a humanizing way, this study was conducted collectively with my participants using the qualitative methodologies of critical narratives and decolonizing methodology. Therefore, this study represents an effort to address this phenomenon by listening to the voices of Black female secondary science teachers and engaging their stories, which often have remained absent from recruitment and retention discussions, to contribute to the scholarship on the recruitment and retention of Black science teachers.</p><p>

The thesis deals with the profession of a military nurse. We can assert that the official study of military, non-medical health-care related qualifications and its use in practice not only for military purposes dates back to the fifties of the last century. However, women as health care professionals, consequently in uniforms, have always been an actual issue. The development of health care activities always existed, however, we must not neglect influence of scientific and medical findings. The historical timeline of development of medical care in the battle field was recorded and ranges from pre-historical healing. The way of Christian medicine was negatively influenced by the Catholic Church. The dark period of the Middle Ages had actually wrested medical performance from the hands of specialists and the suffering were left to the "tender" mercies of the priests. The following part of the thesis concerns modern medicine where enlightenment reforms were exercised. Some of the original six-month courses for military surgeons were organised in this period of time; they weretransformed into Military Surgical Academy, out of which the famous Josefinum originated. A expression of humanity which supported a form of health care of war veterans was demonstrated by constructing buildings for invalid people. The second half of the nineteenth century is characterized by the phenomenon of the presence of nuns in military hospitals. This study goes further in depth of professionally organized healthcare right in the battle field, which dates back from the era of wars in the Crimea.This stage describes the transformation of caring into nursing which requires the necessity of specialized preparation of persons providing nursing practice. In addition, Henry Dunant engraved himself into the history of the profession of a nurse, as the founder of the Red Cross, who first trained health care professionals for working within armed intentions of the state. The continuation of this action sketches out the process of providing first aid in principal armed conflicts of the twentieth century. It describes the functioning of commander operated military health service of that time. WWI drove Czech medical staff to both sides of the front where they provided medical help to the injured. Nurses of the WWII already performed their duties in uniforms as the rightful members of the army. The thesis also mentions post-war usage of military health care professionals in secret foreign missions and their specialized erudition.Last but not least, it marginally discusses contemporary possibilities of modern health care service of the Army of the Czech Republic. The goal of the endeavours of writing this thesis was to chart out clearly the development of the profession of a military nurse within the historical context, focusing mainly on women coming from Czech regions. In order to make the history background concerning specific female participants of the world war conflicts understandable to the reader, this paper reports, in broader extension, peculiar medical and nursing findings, already from the era of prehistoric civilisations. The history study method were applied for the purpose of the theoretical thesis. The methodology is based on searching, studying, sorting and the consecutive systematic objective describing of the events from the past times with the intention to propose comprehensive report on the subject given. It was necessary to study inexhaustible amount of sources to obtain awareness of historical connections. Factual information was derived by analysing of primary and mainly secondary documents. The thesis sketches out histories of military health care and the profession of a military health care professional stemmed from the exploration of appropriate written sources and conclusion of the basic findings. The intentions of the work are not only to clarify the past but also to contribute to solutions of every-day issues.

This dissertation explores the presence of Project Management (PM) at 162 American Universities via data gathered from their publicly accessible websites. Motivated to expand the inventory of American university PM data to the international literature, I experimented with the potential to correlate statistically PM data items to organizational models and the effectiveness of university management. Using Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analysis (CFA and EFA) statistical methods, I investigated two University Project Management Presence Models [U(PM)2] and their relationships to the interdisciplinary research framework. Drawing from Project Management, Policy Analysis Research, Organizational Theories, and American Higher Education Histories, I also included qualitative techniques in the research design. I conclude that this study facilitates the analysis of universities as complex organizations through a Higher Education administrator's point of view. Not only do the findings suggest a correlation of PM data to predict a university's graduation rate, but also--more foundationally--the study confirms that Project Management does exist at American universities, even if that expertise does not yet exist.

A investigação busca pensar na História da Educação através de um olhar voltado para narrativas produzidas por jovens estudantes, sujeitos históricos que atribuem significados às experiências escolares que vivenciaram. Através dos rastros deixados por estes escreventes no periódico estudantil “O Julinho”, produzido pelo Grêmio Estudantil do Colégio Júlio de Castilhos da cidade de Porto Alegre/RS nos anos 1960, este estudo visa compreender como os estudantes se relacionavam com as questões políticas de sua época. Assim, por meio do estudo de um periódico estudantil, a pesquisa tem como intenção conhecer melhor como esses estudantes participavam politicamente do cotidiano escolar, quais os seus questionamentos referentes à sociedade em que viviam, quais os discursos que os afetavam e analisar seus posicionamentos frente às instituições presentes em suas vidas, instituições governamentais e instituição educacional em que estudavam. O tema de investigação se inscreve no campo da História Cultural, nos domínios da História da Educação, particularmente no campo da imprensa de educação e de ensino e da cultura escrita. Por meio desses aportes, a pesquisa tem por objetivo decifrar realidadesdo passado por meio de representações pelas quais os estudantes expressavam a si e o mundo. Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho, foram analisados 21 edições de “O Julinho” da década de 1960 que contam com aproximadamente 540 textos publicados. Após a análise da materialidade do objeto de pesquisa e de seu conteúdo discursivo, os textos foram classificados por temáticas. Desta classificação, recorreu-se aqueles que tratavam das questões políticas governamentais e educacionais, utilizando os textos dos editoriais e também aqueles que abordavam a temática da politização. A pesquisa tem por temporalidade a década de 1960. As indagações realizadas, as inferências e análises estão contextualizadas neste período específico. Os anos 1960 foram anos de significativas transformações sociais, decorridas do período do pós-guerra que influenciaram acontecimentos no Brasil. A pesquisa não dá voz aos estudantes, nem mesmo tem a pretensão de expor a verdade. O que se faz, ao trabalhar com os textos impressos, é falar de verdades. O que aqui se produz é uma narrativa a partir de outras narrativas, a partir dos escritos em um periódico estudantil. A proposta do estudo segue a trilha das representações dos escreventes, buscando as percepções destes referentes ao contexto político em que estavam inseridos. Ao longo do estudo, foi possível perceber especificidades relevantes do objeto de pesquisa, de seus escreventes e da instituição de ensino, particularidades estas não distantes do contexto histórico. A análise promoveu uma reflexão acerca dos sentidos produzidos pelos estudantes, pensando no quanto expressam posicionamentos políticos de uma sociedade, ou de uma parcela da sociedade. Através de seus escritos, compreendem-se questões geracionais e características identitárias de uma juventude. Há vida naquelas páginas. Assim, fiz uma leitura possível quanto à percepção e apropriação dos jovens escreventes referente ao contexto político em que estavam inseridos. Desenvolvi uma percepção das leituras de mundo, formas de expressão de uma parcela da juventude da década de 1960. / The research aims to think the Education History through a look focused on the narratives produced by young students, historical individuals who attribute meanings to school experiences they have lived. Through the trails left by these writers in the student newspaper "O Julinho", produced by the Student's Union of Júlio de Castilhos School, in Porto Alegre city, RS, in the 1960s, this study aims to understand how the students were related to political issues of their time. So by studying a student journal, the research intends to better understand how these students used to participate politically of the school routine, what were their questions about the society they lived, which discourses affected them and analyse their positions in the face of institutions present in their lives, government institutions and the educational institutions they have studied. The research theme signs up in the field of Cultural History in the area of Education History, particularly in the field of press of education and teaching and Writing Culture. Through these contributions, the study aims to decipher realities of the past through representations by which men express themselves and the world. For the development of the paper, were analyzed 21 editions of the "O Julinho" of the 1960s which have nearly 540 published texts. After analyzing the materiality of the research object and its discursive content, the texts were classified by theme. From this classification resorted to those that dealed with governmental and educational policy issues, using the texts of the editorial and also those that addressed the teme of politicization. The research's temporality is the 1960s of 20th century. The inquires made, the inferences and the analysis are contextualized in this specific period. The 1960s were years of significatives social transformations, consequences from the postwar period, that influenced happenings in Brazil. The research doesn't give voice to the students, not even has the pretension of expose the truth. What it makes by working with the printed texts is to speak of truths. What is produced here is a narrative starting other narratives, from the writings in a student journal. The study's proposal follows the trail of the representations of the scribes, looking for their perceptions about the political context they were inserted. Throughout the study was possible to perceive relevant specifics of the research objetc, of the scribes and of the educational institutions; particularities not distant of the historical context. The analysis promoted a reflexion about the meanings produced by the students, thiking in how much they express political positions of a society or of a society portion. Thorugh their writings is possible to understand generational issues and identity characteristics of the youth. There is life in those pages. So I made a possible reading concerning the young scribes perception and apropriation about the political context they were inserted. I developped a perception of the world readings, expression ways of a portion of the youth of the 1960s of 20th century.

abstract: ABSTRACT Past research has determined the glass ceiling is still unbroken and that few women hold top positions as administrators as opposed to men. Men continue to dominate women in occupations of superintendent and secondary principals of schools. Cultural beliefs and traditions set limitations for Navajo female administrators regarding the taboo of “women can’t lead” mentality. The research questions in this study addressed perceived obstacles and barriers facing Navajo female school administrators, the extent Navajo female administrators believe Navajo beliefs limit their career advancement, and if Navajo female administrators believe they encounter more obstacles than their male counterparts. Data were collected from 30 Navajo female administrators in public and bureau-operated schools in New Mexico. The survey consisted of 21 questions in a Likert-scale format with restricted responses, accessed on a Survey Monkey website. Results of the survey indicated that the respondents generally believed their career choice and opportunities were supported. However, approximately a quarter of the respondents believed support and opportunities were limited. And the overall data suggest there is room for improvement in all areas. In spite of the negative views, the respondents believe other women should be encouraged to go into school administration. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Administration and Supervision 2016

The theoretical contributions related to the research guiding the methodology, the method and the sources, by making them function, are the field of Cultural History of Education, as a new field of historiography and heir of the new history , in dialogue with Discourse Analysis and the Indiciary Method, in Michel Foucault´s(1990,1977,1986,1996,2001,2002a,2002b,2008,2010,2012a,2012b)theoretical perspective. The used documents/sources work as discursive practices that normalize, punish and control the problematic students´ behavior and they were read according to Michel Foucault´s archeological and genealogical viewpoint. The mentioned piece of research had as general objective the analysis of the discourses of the researched school specialist, especially of the psychologist´s from a municipal school, of elementary teaching I and II, about the children who are considered (un)disciplined, having as source 42 School Records, used in the books of occurrences. Such sources are school documents and they work as childhood government strategies, with the proceedings on infantile behavior ruled by school. They do represent thus real school dossiers, as part of a set of documents that register each student´s school history and they constitute the main source of the research. Other documents were also used as sources, like the School Pedagogical Project and the School By-laws in which there are the norms and rules that aim to guarantee a healthy and balanced coexistence in the school environment which is believed to be essential for the students´ good behavior. The first methodological procedure consisted in indentifying and registering the occurrences related to the types of behavior considered undesirable for the students´ development in school; then, the analysis of the school specialist´s discourses, especially the psychologist´s, and how these were working in the school practice. This study has been corroborating the results found in other pieces of research carried out in other contexts, that is, the perception that, by dealing with the issue of (un)discipline, it is essential to take into account the influences used by school culture and the educational practices in the school routine. This means that (un)discipline is produced and made inside the school. With Michel Foucault´s tools, it was possible to have an understanding of how the formation process of this contemporaneous abnormal student occurs that, according to the current school discourse, he or she is a/an(un)disciplined student who does not adapt himself or herself to the school, therefore, he or she is dysfunctional to its purposes. / A dissertação trata de uma pesquisa cujo objeto de estudo são os discursos contemporâneos sobre a (in) disciplina na escola, tomando como base as narrativas de psicólogos(as) sobre os(as) alunos(as), com recorte temporal para os anos de 2010-2012. Os aportes teóricos que configuram a pesquisa norteando a metodologia, o método e as fontes, pondo-os em funcionamento, são o campo da História Cultural da Educação, como novo campo da historiografia e herdeira da nova história , em diálogo com a Análise do Discurso e o Método Indiciário, na perspectiva teórica de Michel Foucault, (1977, 1986, 1990, 1996, 2001, 2002a, 2002b, 2008, 2010, 2012a, 2012b). Os documentos/fontes utilizados funcionam como práticas discursivas que se movimentam para normalizar, punir e controlar as condutas dos(as) alunos(as) problema e foram lidas utilizando-se das lentes da arqueo-genealogia de Michel Foucault. A referida pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar os discursos da expertise da escola pesquisada, particularmente da psicóloga de uma escola municipal, de ensino fundamental I e II, sobre as crianças/adolescentes considerados (in) disciplinados, tomando como fonte 42 Fichas de Acompanhamento dos(das) Alunos(as), utilizadas em livros de ocorrências. Tais fontes são documentos escolares e funcionam como estratégias de governo da infância, com ordenamentos sobre os comportamentos infantis normatizados pela escola. Representam, pois, verdadeiros dossiês escolares, como parte do conjunto de documentos que registram a história escolar de cada aluno (a), e que se constituem na principal fonte da pesquisa. Outros documentos foram também utilizados como fontes, como o Projeto Pedagógico da Escola e o Regimento Interno da escola, nos quais constam as normas e regras que visam garantir uma convivência saudável e equilibrada no ambiente escolar, e que, se acredita serem fundamentais para o bom andamento dos comportamentos dos(as) alunos(as). O primeiro procedimento metodológico consistiu em identificar e anotar as ocorrências relacionadas aos comportamentos considerados indesejáveis para o desenvolvimento dos(as) alunos(as) pela escola, seguido da análise dos discursos da expertise escolar, particularmente da psicóloga, e como estes foram postos em funcionamento na prática escolar. Este estudo vem confirmando os resultados de outras pesquisas realizadas em outros contextos, ou seja, a percepção de que ao tratarmos da questão da (in)disciplina é imprescindível considerar as influências exercidas pela cultura escolar e pelas práticas educativas no cotidiano da escola. Isso significa dizer que a (in)disciplina é produzida, é fabricada no interior da escola. Com as ferramentas criadas por Michel Foucault foi possível ter uma compreensão de como se dá o processo de formação desse anormal contemporâneo que, segundo o discurso corrente nas escolas, é um(a) aluno(a) (in)disciplinado(a), que não dá certo na escola; portanto, disfuncional aos seus propósitos.
