nÃo hà / A educaÃÃo de um modo geral, e mais especificamente a expansÃo do ensino superior no interior dos estados federados, dialoga com estudos atuais de novos modelos de Desenvolvimento. Discutiremos aqui a ampliaÃÃo do acesso à educaÃÃo formal nessas localidades e tais modelos. Nesse sentido, elegeu-se assim como tema desta pesquisa a EducaÃÃo Superior na Perspectiva do Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel na RegiÃo Metropolitana do Cariri. O objetivo geral deste estudo à apresentar o acesso à educaÃÃo superior neste territÃrio como uma das ferramentas capazes de alavancar o desenvolvimento sustentÃvel. Para tanto, a pesquisa buscou fazer um levantamento histÃrico das polÃticas educacionais para o ensino superior no Brasil e na RMC, caracterizar a situaÃÃo socioeconÃmica da RMC na primeira dÃcada do sÃculo XXI, mostrar a importÃncia das polÃticas pÃblicas na expansÃo do Ensino Superior na regiÃo e relacionar o papel da Universidade e a promoÃÃo do Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel. Foi considerado o perÃodo compreendido entre os anos 2000 a 2010 e eleitas variÃveis constantes na dimensÃo social da Sustentabilidade. Esta pesquisa se propÃe descritiva, na medida em que caracteriza a implantaÃÃo e a expansÃo do ensino superior caririense a partir da relaÃÃo entre as variÃveis eleitas. Este trabalho à fruto de uma pesquisa documental baseada em dados secundÃrios, os quais estÃo à disposiÃÃo nos bancos de dados institucionais das IES que compÃem a amostra e ainda de organismos pÃblicos de pesquisa, como o INEP, IPECE e IBGE. O quadro socioeconÃmico da RMC demonstra avanÃos e fragilidades no caminho da sustentabilidade. Para alavancar o DS à necessÃrio um esforÃo em vÃrias frentes, levando em consideraÃÃo todas as dimensÃes da sustentabilidade; faz-se necessÃrio continuar ampliando o acesso ao ensino superior, bem como resolver o problema da distorÃÃo idade-sÃrie no ensino mÃdio, que apesar de ter sofrido forte reduÃÃo na Ãltima dÃcada, ainda persiste. Os resultados obtidos apÃs a anÃlise dos dados demonstram que A RMC tem avanÃado em Ãreas estratÃgicas para o DS, entretanto à imprescindÃvel uma preocupaÃÃo de carÃter conceitual e qualitativo no tocante à educaÃÃo, tendo em vista que o Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel pede uma mudanÃa de mentalidades. Uma importante ferramenta està sendo disseminada, e essa pesquisa vem provar isso, que à o acesso à escolaridade. Esse relatÃrio vem afirmar, tambÃm, que avanÃos em Ãreas importantes da dimensÃo social conseguidos na Ãltima dÃcada na RMC promovem condiÃÃes favorÃveis para o D.S da RMC. / Education in general and more specifically the expansion of higher education within the federal states, dialogues with current studies of new models of development. We discuss here the expansion of access to formal education in these places and these models. In this sense, was chosen as the theme of this research Higher Education in the Perspective of Sustainable Development in the Metropolitan Region of Cariri. The aim of this study is to provide access to higher education in this territory as a tool capable of driving sustainable development. To this end, the research sought to make a historical survey of educational policies for higher education in Brazil and CMR, to characterize the socioeconomic status of CMR in the first decade of this century, to show the importance of public policies on the expansion of higher education in the region and to relate the role of the university and the promotion of sustainable development. It was considered the period between the years 2000 to 2010 and selected variables in the social dimension of sustainability. This research proposes itself descriptive, characterized in that the installation and expansion of higher education in Cariri from the relationship between the chosen variables. This work is a result of documentary research based on secondary data, which are available in institutional databases of IES in the sample and also for public research, as the INEP, IBGE and IPECE. The table shows the RMC socioeconomic progress and weaknesses in the way of sustainability. To leverage the DS effort is needed on several fronts, taking into account all dimensions of sustainability, it is necessary to continue expanding access to higher education, as well as solve the age-grade in high school, that have suffered a marked decline in the last decade, but still persists. The results obtained after analyzing the data, show that the RMC has advanced in strategic areas for the DS, though it is an essential concern of a conceptual nature and quality with regard to education, in order that sustainable development calls for a change of mindset. An important tool is being disseminated, and this research comes to prove that, which is the access to schooling. This report has to say also that advances in important areas of the social dimension achieved in the last decade in the RMC promote favorable conditions for sustainable development of CMR.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Daniela Sousa Guedes Meireles Rocha.pdf: 7525991 bytes, checksum: e5bf7e6cbbea752acfd4642380eda298 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-09-27 / Introduction: Civil construction uses a significant quantity of materials and consequently, if poorly managed, can culminate in tons of undue disposal. In this way, engineers become (co) responsible for bringing environmental sustainability into the daily life of their works, with optimization of materials, waste reduction and efficient and humanized manpower management. In order to do so, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can exert influence in the training of these professionals, being an agent that contributes to the transformation of the posture of the future engineer, and may arouse students' interest in sustainability related topics. Objectives: To evaluate the perception and commitment of Civil Engineering students from the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (PUC / GO) based on the principles that guide sustainability, and to identify in the Curricular Matrices of Brazilian HEIs the quantitative of disciplines involving sustainability education and propose a possible change in the Curricular Matrix of PUC/GO. Methods: Descriptive, exploratory study of a quantitative-qualitative nature, whose research source was the application of the Survey questionnaire, using the Multiple Correspondence Analysis technique for analysis and statistical inferences. Results: Civil Engineering students from PUC/GO are mostly males (54%), aged 22 to 25 (57%) and have income between one and two minimum wages (37%). The research demonstrated that the students have knowledge by the subject "sustainability" and had access in the IES to contents that approach the sustainable development. However, not all future professionals are interested in developing skills based on sustainable guidelines. From the analysis of the curricular matrices of 163 Civil Engineering courses, it was verified that only (5.9%) of the subjects deal with sustainability, thus presenting the need for changes in the curricular matrix and in the syllabuses in the subjects, the which were suggested in this work. Conclusions: This research comprised that the student of Civil Engineering is said to possess little knowledge to act in accordance with the Sustainable Development (SD), and most appropriated the theme during the course of all their training as an individual and not necessarily during the course of graduation. The information obtained in this dissertation, associated with other research already done on the subject, proposes to the HEIs a review of their curricular matrices and contents, providing more suitable conditions for the learning of these future professionals, in relation to the issues of Sustainable Development. / Introdução: A construção civil utiliza um expressivo quantitativo de materiais e consequentemente, se mal geridos, podem culminar em toneladas de descarte indevido. Deste modo, os engenheiros tornam-se (co)responsáveis por trazerem a sustentabilidade ambiental no cotidiano de suas obras, com otimização de materiais, redução de desperdícios e um gerenciamento da mão-de-obra eficiente e humanizado. Para tanto, as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) podem exercer influência na formação desses profissionais, sendo agente que contribui na transformação na postura do futuro engenheiro, podendo despertar o interesse dos discentes nos temas relacionados à sustentabilidade. Objetivos: Avaliar a percepção e o comprometimento dos alunos de Engenharia Civil da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC/GO) a partir dos princípios que norteiam a sustentabilidade, além disso, identificar nas Matrizes Curriculares de IES brasileiras o quantitativo de disciplinas que envolvem a educação voltada à sustentabilidade e propor uma possível mudança na Matriz Curricular da PUC/GO. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, exploratório de natureza quanti-qualitativa, que teve como fonte de investigação a aplicação do questionário Survey, com o uso da técnica de Análise de Correspondência Múltipla para análise e inferências estatísticas. Resultados: Os discentes de Engenharia Civil da PUC/GO são em sua maioria do sexo masculino (54%,) com idade entre 22 a 25 anos (57%) e possui renda entre um e dois salários mínimos (37%). A pesquisa demonstrou que os discentes possuem conhecimento pelo tema “sustentabilidade” e tiveram acesso nas IES a conteúdos que abordam o desenvolvimento sustentável. Porém, nem todos os futuros profissionais estão interessados em desenvolver habilidades pautadas nas diretrizes sustentáveis. A partir da análise das matrizes curriculares de 163 cursos de Engenharia Civil, verificouse que apenas (5,9%) das disciplinas, versam sobre a sustentabilidade, apresentando assim, a necessidade de mudanças da matriz curricular e das ementas nas disciplinas, as quais foram sugeridas neste trabalho. Conclusões: Esta pesquisa compreendeu que o estudante de Engenharia Civil se diz possuir pouco conhecimento para atuar em conformidade com o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (DS), e a maioria apropriou-se do tema no decorrer de toda sua formação como indivíduo e não necessariamente durante o curso de graduação. As informações obtidas nesta dissertação, associadas a outras pesquisas já realizadas sobre o tema, propõe às IES revisão de suas matrizes curriculares e conteúdos, proporcionando condições mais adequadas à aprendizagem destes futuros profissionais, em relação às questões do Desenvolvimento Sustentável.
