The Program relies on the former teaching experience of non-graduate professionals in the public teaching network enabling them to achieve their graduation in the course of two years, with a setting of 2.800 hours which is equal to programs that offer graduation in the course of three years. 12 teachers, former students from this Program, collaborated with the research answering an application and being interviewed. The analysis of the data relied on a reference about distance education as long as the course is attended outside the campus and the graduation of educators. The data revealed that the course contributed to the personal lives of the students as long as to their Professional development, especially in the way they performed their work with children in their workplace. / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender, sob a perspectiva de ex-alunas, a contribuição do Curso Normal Superior Fora de Sede (CNSFS) denominado Programa Especial de Formação Pedagógica Superior , do Centro Universitário Hermínio Ometto (Uniararas) para a formação em nível superior das Atendentes de Desenvolvimento Infantil (ADI) da rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo no período de 2005 a 2007. O Programa aproveita a experiência docente e possibilita aos profissionais em exercício nas redes públicas de ensino, a realização do curso em nível superior em dois anos, com carga horária mínima de 2.800 horas - equivalente aos cursos de graduação com duração de três anos. Como colaboradoras a pesquisa contou com 12 professoras, ex-alunas do Programa, que responderam a um questionário e participaram de uma entrevista. A análise dos dados pautouse em referencial sobre educação a distância visto o curso ser fora de sede e formação de professores. Os dados revelam que houve contribuição do curso tanto para a vida pessoal como para o desenvolvimento profissional das participantes, especialmente no modo como passaram a conduzir o trabalho com as crianças nas instituições em que trabalham.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo e qualitativo, composta de um levantamento da pós-graduação brasileira com foco na comparação das áreas Direito, Engenharia Civil e Medicina e por 24 entrevistas semi-estruturadas individuais gravadas com 18 mestrandos e seis orientadores da Faculdade de Direito, da Escola Politécnica e da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é comparar como se desenvolve o processo de pós-graduação das três profissões mais tradicionais em uma universidade pública de destaque, relacionando o processo de elaboração da dissertação com a concomitante inserção do aluno na atividade profissional. Como resultado destaca-se que os mestrandos seguiriam a carreira acadêmica, mas simultaneamente à carreira profissional. Enquanto os mestrandos de Direito e Engenharia civil acreditavam no mestrado como facilitador para uma melhor inserção no mercado de trabalho, os de Medicina referiam a busca pelo mestrado como conseqüência natural pela sua proximidade com a universidade. Nas três áreas a universidade se defronta com contradições entre a formação de uma elite pensante, a real vocação do curso de pós-graduação stricto sensu na formação de pesquisadores, e sua qualificação profissional segundo um perfil demandado pelo mercado global. / This is a quantitative and qualitative approach research, consisting of a survey of Brazilian postgraduation focused in the comparison of Law, Civil Engineering and Medicine areas and composed by 24 semi-structured recorded individual interviews with 18 Masters students and six advisors of the Faculty of Law, the School of Engineering and the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of São Paulo. The general objective of the research was compare the postgraduation developing process of the three most traditional professions in a distinct public university, relating the dissertation elaboration process with the concomitant insertion of the student in the professional activity. As result, was emphasized that Masters students would follow the academic career, but simultaneously to the professional career. While Law and civil Engineering Masters students considered Master Course as facilitative for a better insertion in the job market, Medicine ones related the seek for Master Course as natural consequence by their proximity to the university. In the three areas the university confronts with contradictions between the elite think tank formation, the real vocation of the postgraduation stricto sensu course in the researchers education, and their professional qualification according to a profile demanded by the global market.

O presente estudo buscou descrever as motivações dos enfermeiros para realizar o curso de mestrado acadêmico/ profissional e sua relação com a ascensão/ autonomia profissional. Objetivos: Identificar as motivações do enfermeiro para realizar o curso de mestrado acadêmico/profissional; Relacionar as motivações do enfermeiro para realizar o mestrado acadêmico/profissional com a ascensão/autonomia profissional, o reconhecimento social, o compromisso social e a cientificidade da profissão; Comparar as motivações para realizar o curso de mestrado entre os enfermeiros que realizam Mestrado Acadêmico e os que realizam Mestrado Profissional; Discutir as motivações do enfermeiro para realizar o mestrado acadêmico/profissional à luz da perspectiva crítica-humanística. Metodologia: foi utilizado o método descritivo-exploratório, de abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Realizado em quatro universidades públicas que oferecem curso de Mestrado Acadêmico e ou Profissional em Enfermagem, do Rio de Janeiro, sendo estas a Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), Universidade do Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) e Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). Os sujeitos deste estudo foram os enfermeiros que cursam o mestrado nas quatro universidades. Os aspectos referentes a coletas de dados envolveram os seguintes instrumentos: questionário de caracterização socioeconômica e grupo focal. Foram aplicados 126 questionários em alunos do Mestrado Acadêmico e 50 questionários em alunos do Mestrado Profissional, perfazendo um total de 176 questionários, superando o erro amostral de 0,08 (8%), com 95% de confiança. O grupo focal contou com 12 mestrandos da EEAAC-UFF, sendo que 8 (oito) eram alunos do Mestrado Profissional e 4 (quatro) do Mestrado Acadêmico. A análise dos dados quantitativos foi feita no programa estatístico BioEstart 5.3, utilizando o Teste Qui-quadrado de tendência linear, ao nível de significância estatística de 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Os dados qualitativos, coletados no grupo focal, foram descritos e os discursos dos participantes foram transcritos e processados no software IRAMUTEQ. Dentre os tipos de análises viabilizadas pelo programa, foram utilizadas a análise de similitude, nuvem de palavras e a classificação hierárquica descendente (CDH). A análise e a discussão dos dados na abordagem quantitativa foram realizadas em 6 (seis) categorias, já a análise e a discussão dos dados na abordagem qualitativa foi feita em 4 (quatro) categorias. Resultado: Os resultados quantitativos possibilitou conhecer o perfil dos alunos, no qual revelou a forte presença das mulheres no mestrado. Observou-se que os profissionais mais jovens de idade e mais jovens na profissão, optam pelo mestrado acadêmico, enquanto no mestrado profissional o perfil dos alunos é o oposto. Verificou-se que o incentivo do aluno ainda no inicio da graduação a atividades acadêmicas ligada a investigações científicas é um potencial motivador para o aluno ingressar no mestrado, confirmando estudos anteriores que ja haviam revelado esse dado. A principal motivação dos enfermeiros para ingressar no mestrado esta na busca por novos conhecimentos. Os resultados qualitativos confirmaram o que o interesse pelos novos conhecimento foi que mais motivou esses alunos. A realização do mestrado representa um sonho idealizado por esses alunos, sendo representado com uma conquista profissional. Fatores relacionados ao capitalismos foram entendidos como consequência advindas do das conquistas referente aos saberes desenvolvidos no mestrado, sendo os interesses críticos humanísticos os principais valores que os mestrandos desejam obter com o mestrado dentre eles a valorização da profissão através da cientificidade, da qualidade, humanização e sistematização da assistência de enfermagem oferecida nos serviço de saúde. Conclusão: Verificou-se que existem enfermeiros interessados em mudar a realidade do serviço de saúde, que desejam, através da pesquisa, encontrar subsídios para o avanço da ciência, da profissão, atendendo às necessidades da população usuária dos serviços de saúde. / The Masters is the first professional level of access to academic strictly training. For this reason, we consider essential to study the personal motivations of nursing professionals in the conductors processes to graduate. There are many factors that can motivate nurses to attend graduate school and meet them will advance the qualification of these professionals. The study aims to describe the motivations of nurses to perform the academic / professional master's degree program and its relationship with the rise / professional autonomy. Objectives: To identify the nurses' motivations to take the course of academic / professional master; Relate the nurse's motivations to make the academic / professional master with the rise / professional autonomy, social recognition, social commitment and the scientific profession; Compare the motivations to do the Master's degree among nurses who perform Academic Master and performing Professional Master; Discuss the nurse's motivations to make the academic / professional master the light of critical-humanistic perspective. Methods: We used the descriptive-exploratory method, quantitative and qualitative approach. Conducted in four public universities that offer Master's course and Academic or Professional Nursing, the Rio de Janeiro, which are the Federal Fluminense University (UFF), Federal University of the Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) and the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). The study subjects were nurses who attend the Masters in four universities. The aspects related to data collection involved the following instruments: socioeconomic characterization questionnaire and focus group. 126 questionnaires were applied to students of the Academic Master and 50 questionnaires in the Professional Master students, a total of 176 questionnaires, exceeding the sampling error of 0.08 (8%), with 95% confidence. The focus group included 12 masters of EEAAC-UFF, and eight (8) were students of the Professional Masters and four (4) of the Academic Master. The analysis of quantitative data was performed using the statistical program BioEstart 5.3, using the chi-square test for linear trend, the level of statistical significance of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Qualitative data collected in the focus group were described and the speeches of the participants were transcribed and processed in IRAMUTEQ software. Among the types of analyzes made possible by the program, we used the similarity analysis, word cloud and descending hierarchical classification (HRC). The analysis and discussion of the data in quantitative approach were performed in six (6) categories, as the analysis and discussion of the data on the qualitative approach was made in four (4) categories. Result: The quantitative results helped understand the students' profile, which revealed a strong presence of women in the Masters. It was observed that younger professionals of age and younger in the profession, opt for the academic master, while the professional master's student profile is the opposite. It was found that the encouragement of student still at the beginning of the undergraduate academic activities linked to scientific research is a motivating potential for the student to enter the Master, confirming previous studies that had already revealed this information. The main motivation of nurses to enter the master is in the search for new knowledge. The qualitative results confirmed that the interest in new knowledge that was more motivated these students. The completion of the master is a dream conceived by these students, being represented with a professional achievement.

In-forest teaching is a vital element of forest science education at university level, and university forests play a critical role in this. In Japan, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) owns the oldest university forest, which was established in 1894. This paper outlines how the University of Tokyo Forests (UTF) provide in-forest education for forest science. The UTF consist of seven branch stations with a total area of over 32,000 ha. Third- and fourth-year undergraduate students majoring in forest science attend field courses in these forests. Same undergraduate and graduate students are affiliated with the UTF, where they conduct field studies for their graduate theses. Since 2005, the UTF have expanded their educational activities by offering university-wide hands-on experience seminars with field experience for first- and second-year undergraduate students, although these courses are open to all students studying at UTokyo.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Population estimations for the year 2000 indicate an increase in poor and minorities in the United States (Loden & Rosener, 1991). In view of this growth trend, Berger (1989) suggests a need for social workers with sensitivity to such populations. The presence of minority perspectives provides a valuable contribution to service delivery (Mullen et al., 1993). Efforts to enhance student persistence in graduate schools of social work will contribute to the pool of social workers available in the next century. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that contribute to African American student persistence in graduate schools of social work. This study applies aspects of Astin's, Tinto's and Green's theories of persistence. Astin's theory of involvement (1975) considers student investment of time in educational pursuits. Tinto's (1975) theory of departure includes background, social and academic aspects in persistence decisions. Green's (1997) theory focuses on the ability of the student to cope with racial issues (racial resilience) and the racial climate of the school (racial responsiveness). One hundred and thirty-five students from two predominantly white and two historically black universities participated in surveys administered to determine the effect of involvement, background, academic, social, resilience factors, and college type upon student persistence outcomes. Interviews held with administrative personnel at each institution provided contextual data. Correlations were used to examine the relationships among all of the variables in the study. T-Tests were conducted to compare outcomes due to university type. Multiple regressions were used to explore the relationships between significant independent variables and persistence. The findings of this study indicate that persistence outcomes of African American graduate social work students are influenced by: (a) academic performance, faculty-student relationships, (c) health, (d) the ability to deal with stress, and (e) ethnic pride (impressions of ethnic group). These findings suggest that social work programs that incorporate aggressive grade monitoring practices, provide diverse opportunities for student-faculty interaction, offer opportunities for health care, stress alternatives, and a culturally relevant curriculum, may positively influence African American student persistence.
