Alternative entry programs to university for mature age students: program characteristics that encourage or inhibit mature student participation

Cullity, Marguerite Mary January 2005 (has links)
Australia has a long history of accepting unmatriculated, return-to-study and equity group mature age learners into undergraduate courses. Universities enrol mature age students on the basis of, for example, their equity background, prior learning, work experiences, scores on a mature age entrance test, or results in an alternative entry program. This study examined the nature and outcomes of four alternative entry programs (AEPs) to higher education for mature age learners (21 years plus). Alternative entry programs provide mature age students with a way to explore their academic aptitude for, and confidence to, study. Prior to this research there was a lack of knowledge regarding the characteristics and outcomes of AEPs for mature age students. In addition, there was no study that examined a series of AEPs to show the relationship between AEP characteristics and learner outcomes. The inquiry addresses this shortfall. The project takes a qualitative case study approach. It provides a way of understanding the uniqueness, particularities and complexities of four AEPs for Australian resident mature age learners. The inquiry indicates implications of current policy and practices. Also it considers ways to advance program characteristics and outcomes.

Movido por isto, neste estudo objetiva-se verificar se o vestibular da Universidade Federal da Bahia é um mecanismo de seleção que acaba por perpetuar a condição sócio-econômica do candidato ao vestibular. Em outras palavras, faz-se a hipótese de que o candidato de posição socioeconômica menos (mais) elevada, seja porque dispõe de menos (mais) tempo para estudar, a renda familiar é mais (menos) baixa e/ou a educação dos pais é menor (maior), além de outras variáveis de controle, realiza uma auto-seleção, excluindo-se dos cursos de maior (menor) prestígio. Metodologicamente o trabalho se baseia em modelos matemáticos e econométricos inéditos distribuídos em duas etapas: na primeira, estimam-se as demandas agregadas pelos cursos da Universidade e, na segunda, se desenvolvem dois modelos: um teórico sobre o comportamento do vestibulando em termos da escolha do curso, sendo esta escolha influenciada pela sua demanda, e um empírico de função de produção educacional derivado do modelo teórico. A demanda pelos cursos, portanto, é o elo de ligação entre as duas etapas. Este trabalho é uma contribuição original para a literatura brasileira do vestibular pelas seguintes razões: 1) inova-se ao abordar a temática da seletividade social do vestibular por meio de modelos microeconômicos expressos matematicamente que estabelecem o arcabouço para a análise estatística realizada; 2) inova-se também ao integrar o mercado de trabalho com o acesso ao ensino superior por meio dos dados da Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego da Região Metropolitana de Salvador (PED-RMS), o que proporciona uma análise rica e sistemática sobre o tema da seletividade social do vestibular; 3) utilizam-se o escore do curso como sendo o escore esperado pelo candidato, além de o tempo de estudo como um recurso econômico que discrimina a escolha do curso superior; 4) o uso da Econometria reforça os resultados encontrados na medida em que é uma técnica que permite o controle simultâneo de múltiplas variáveis que afetam o desempenho acadêmico. As conclusões corroboram a hipótese de que se perpetua a condição social do candidato e reproduz-se a estrutura econômico-social. Com efeito, evidenciam-se as desvantagens do candidato mais pobre por meio dos seguintes aspectos. Observa-se que a renda e a sua variação afetam, de forma diferenciada, o desempenho acadêmico, favorecendo a quem é mais rico e prejudicando a quem é mais pobre. Ademais, para igual redução nas horas de estudo (ou aumento de horas trabalhadas), a redução no desempenho no vestibular é maior quanto menor o nível socioeconômico. Os cálculos de elasticidades também evidenciam as grandes vantagens comparativas dos mais aquinhoados financeiramente. Os cálculos de produtividade do tempo de estudo mostram que para cada hora adicional de estudo, o candidato de maior nível de renda familiar obtém um incremento cerca de duas vezes maior no escore do que o candidato de menor renda. Como conseqüência, os custos educacionais dos mais ricos são menores do que os dos mais pobres. Isto revela a importância de que se adotem políticas públicas que promovam o aumento do estoque de capital dos mais carentes e, como resultado, se obtenha uma maior equalização nesses custos de modo a se promover uma maior equidade no acesso ao ensino superior. / Salvador

As esquadrias na inter-relação entre os cheios e vazios na composição do espaço construído. / The relationshipbetween entrance ways and architectural composition in the built environment.

Guerra, José David Pacheco 31 July 2007 (has links)
This work is based on the assumption that in order to understand and apprehend the architectural space it is necessary to exam in detail each part that constitutes the totality of architecture. Therefore, the aim of this work is to understand the incremental process of interrelationships between the architectural elements existent in the so-called masses and nonexistent masses. Among these elements, windows and doors can be highlighted, being generally known as entrance ways. Data were gathered from a literature review that allowed a better understanding on the use of entrance ways in the composition of architectural spaces, over time. Following that, it was analyzed the use of composition of selected, residential buildings in Maceió. Data analyses suggest that windows and doors are considered, in large scale, architectural elements that control the flow of individuals, air and natural light, being highlighted from others constructive elements, given its spread use all over the buildings, which in turn considerably affects space in relation to its dimensions, functioning and other sensitive and compositive aspects. In general terms, entrance ways appear not to have evolved significanlty over time considering them as an architectural element, but have substantially evolved as a compositive element. One should consider each part of the building in relation to composition as letters of the alphabet to form both the spoken or written languages. / Este trabalho parte do pressuposto de que para compreender e interpretar os espaços arquitetônicos é necessário conhecer com profundidade cada parte constituinte da totalidade arquitetônica. Sendo assim, neste trabalho busca-se uma maior compreensão do processo evolutivo das inter-relações entre os elementos componentes do binômio cheios e vazios. Dentre outros elementos construtivos, destacam-se as portas e janelas, conhecidas de modo genérico como esquadrias. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da literatura que foi revisada de forma a permitir a compreensão sobre a utilização das esquadrias na composição do espaço arquitetônico através da linha do tempo. Em seguida, foram feitas análises compositivas e espaciais das esquadrias na arquitetura, utilizando edificações residenciais em Maceió. As análises deste estudo sugerem que as esquadrias são consideradas, em larga escala, elementos arquitetônicos controladores de fluxos de pessoas, ar e luz naturais, sendo destacadas dos demais elementos construtivos, dada a sua multiplicação por todo o edifício, fato este que afeta consideravelmente o espaço quanto ao seu dimensionamento, funcionamento e aos seus aspectos plástico e sensitivo. Ao longo do tempo, as esquadrias parecem ter evoluído muito pouco em relação às alterações de funções enquanto elemento arquitetônico, variando, porém, de forma substancial enquanto elemento compositivo. Cada parte do edifício está para a linguagem arquitetônica como as letras estão para a linguagem escrita ou falada.

Přístup učitelů gymnázií k přípravě studentů na přijímací zkoušky z biologie na vybrané vysoké školy / Prague Grammar School Teacher's Approach to their Student's Preparation for Biology Admission Exams to Chosen Universities

Title: Prague grammar school teacher's approach to their student's preparation for biology admission exams to chosen universities Author: Bc. Tereza Hajžmanová Department: Department of Biology and Enviromental studies Supervisor: RNDr. Lenka Pavlasová Ph.D. Abstract: Students' preparation for biology and science studies on the university level is highly influenced by their biology teachers. Therefore it is very important to know the facts about this preparation: for example, how often it takes place, in which ways, which methods teachers consider successful, if they tailor the content of their lessons to the requirements of certain universities etc. By compiling a list of universities providing biology centred programs and by determining the level of applicants' success in these fields, I identified the most popular biology programs. Subsequently, the requirements of admission tests of these programs were analysed in order to maximize the success of the applicants. From these data, educators can learn how to prepare their students. The practical part of this thesis contains a research: I approached 186 biology teachers at Prague grammar schools with a questionnaire survey. Using these questionnaires I came up with the data showing how and under what conditions they prepare their students for admission...

ASSESSING THE STABILITY AND LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF ABANDONED MINES FOR USE BY BATS

Corcoran, Jeffrey C. 01 January 2009 (has links)
There are 12 species of bats that occur in Illinois; 5 of these species can be found hibernating in abandoned mines and caves in southern Illinois. Due to the destruction of their natural hibernacula, caves, many species of bats have found abandoned mines to be suitable replacement habitat. A complex of abandoned underground microcrystalline silica mines in southern Illinois owned by Unimin Specialty Minerals Corporation now provides hibernacula for 5 species of cavernicolous bats: the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), little brown bat (M. lucifugus), eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus), big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), and the northern long-eared bat (M. septentrionalis). Within the last 10 years the number of bats using these mines has increased dramatically, especially the Indiana bat which has increased from just over 9,000 to 43,000 hibernating in Magazine Mine. One concern of having so many endangered bats hibernating in one mine is stability. Mines were created relatively recently and are still in the process of settling. Thus, these mines might act as a potential sink, drawing in hibernating bats but potentially collapsing and killing them. Thirteen mines were surveyed for bats and for the amount of spalling that occurred over the 16-month study period from September 2006 to December 2007. Factors that could increase the amount of spalling were quantified, including temperature, moisture, and moisture variability in the material of the walls in the mines, and temperature variability. Number of hibernating bats in the mines was also documented. Data were analyzed with logistic regression. Temperature was a significant predictor of spalling (W2 = 12.76, p = 0.0004) when considered as a univariate variable, as was temperature variation (W2 = 21.89, p = <0.0001). Considering multiple logistic regression analyses, moisture was the best predictor. For the 13 mines surveyed, number of hibernating bats ranged from 0 to 3,755. Whereas all three variables were important at predicting the presence of bats, temperature variation (W2 = 35.98, p =<0.0001) was a better predictor than temperature or moisture. In a multiple logistic regression, temperature (W2 = 46.75, p = < 0.0001) and temperature variation (W2 = 20.56, p = < 0.0001) were better at predicting presence of bats then was moisture. The less variation in temperature the more likely that bats will be present. Because bats prefer stable temperatures and spalling occurs more often at high variability of temperatures and very low temperatures, bats were usually in areas that exhibited little or no spalling.
