Previous issue date: 2015-10-22 / Milton Valente / A presente tese analisa traduções do português para a Libras de provas de vestibular da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) na edição de 2012. Por meio dessa análise, pretende-se responder à seguinte questão: como traduções da língua portuguesa escrita para a Libras em prova de vestibular são realizadas com o objetivo de garantir aos surdos, por meio da Libras, o acesso às informações necessárias e suficientes em relação aos conhecimentos exigidos na referida prova? O objetivo principal do estudo é, portanto, analisar elementos que, no processo de tradução, evidenciam aspectos que precisam tomar a cultura surda como central para que os textos em Libras possibilitem aos surdos a compreensão das questões apresentadas originalmente na língua portuguesa escrita. As ponderações conceituais versam sobre os estudos da Tradução (VASCONCELLOS e PAGANO, 2004; VASCONCELLOS, 2008; VASCONCELLOS e BARTHOLAMEI, 2008), mais especificamente no campo dos Estudos da Tradução da Libras e da Língua Portuguesa (VASCONCELLOS, 2010; VASCONCELLOS, QUADROS, SANTOS e PEREIRA, 2012; SANTOS, 2013). Neste viés, vem à tona a visão sócio-antropológica da surdez (SKLIAR, 1998), o trabalho dos tradutores envolvidos na realização das traduções, aspectos específicos da tradução em si, bem como questões visuais implicadas na apresentação dessas provas (QUADROS, STUMPF e OLIVEIRA, 2011; QUADROS, SOUSA e VARGAS, 2012). Tais aspectos são verificados no trabalho de tradução de questões da prova de Língua Portuguesa e de Redação daquela edição do vestibular, no ano de 2012. Apresentam-se as questões da prova, uma descrição do trabalho dos tradutores e algumas implicações desse processo, considerando o fato de que os surdos teriam acesso às informações da prova em Libras, mas as respostas deveriam ser dadas por meio da língua portuguesa escrita. Como resultados da análise, entre as discussões referentes aos impasses na seleção de estratégias e de definições decorrentes do processo tradutório, destaca-se que as provas de vestibular são um locus privilegiado para a verificação da qualidade da acessibilidade oferecida às pessoas surdas, uma vez que expõem os conflitos culturais e linguísticos que ainda carecem de investigações e melhorias. / This thesis analyzes translations from Portuguese into the Libras college entrance tests at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) in the edition of 2012. Through this analysis, we intend to answer the question: how translations of Portuguese written for Libras in college entrance test are carried out with the purpose of guaranteeing to the deaf by means of Libras, access to necessary and sufficient information regarding the knowledge required in that race? The main objective of the study is therefore to analyze elements in the process of translation, show aspects that need to take the deaf culture as central to the texts in Libras allow the deaf to understanding the issues originally presented in Portuguese writing. The conceptual considerations deal with the Translation Studies (Vasconcellos and PAGANO, 2004; Vasconcellos, 2008; Vasconcellos and BARTHOLAMEI, 2008), more specifically in the field of Libras Translation Studies and Portuguese Language (Vasconcellos, 2010; Vasconcellos, TABLES, SANTOS and PEREIRA, 2012; SANTOS, 2013). This bias comes up the socio-anthropological view of deafness (Skliar, 1998), the work of translators involved in the making of translations, specific aspects of the translation itself, as well as visual issues involved in offering the evidence (TABLES, STUMPF and OLIVEIRA, 2011; TABLES, and SOUSA VARGAS, 2012). These aspects are checked at work of translation test issues of Portuguese Language and Writing of that edition of the vestibular, in 2012. We present the proof of questions, a description of the work of translators and some implications of this process, considering the fact that deaf people have access to test information in Libras, but the answers should be given through the Portuguese language writing. As a result of the analysis, including discussions relating to impasses in the selection of strategies and settings arising from the translation process, there is the college entrance exams are a privileged locus for checking the accessibility of quality offered to deaf people, as expose the cultural and linguistic conflicts that still require research and improvements.

New Party Entrance : The case of BE and PAN in PortugalMorando Costa, Lívia January 2019 (has links)
Back in 2012, Niklas Bolin offered an innovative perspective on the importance of agency for new party entrance. With his doctoral thesis he concluded that the ownership of at least one non-mainstream position and the possession of certain party resources were two necessary conditions for new parties to reach parliament membership. This investigation aimed to test his findings with the analysis of the only two cases of new party entrance in the Portuguese democracy since the end of the consolidation period: the Left Bloc (BE) in 1999 and PessoasAnimais-Natureza (PAN) in 2015. The thesis concludes that in one hand both parties emphasized “unique” issues in their electoral programs. On the other hand, some party resources proved to have greater importance than others for this case: both parties had low levels of membership, limited leadership and considerable financial funds when compared to similar size parties. Finally, regarding media exposure while BE managed to gain some space within the traditional channels, PAN relied solely on social media. As a result, this study corroborates both the current tendency for a decline in the number and importance of party affiliates and the equalization theory regarding the opportunities of the Internet for small parties as a more equal space for party competition.

Examining the evolution of the Transition Program preparing academically gifted students for early entrance to universityDanylchuk, Daria 05 1900 (has links)
The VSB/UBC Transition Program is a Ministry of Education Provincial Resource Program for
highly academically gifted young adolescents. Unique to British Columbia and Canada since its
inception in 1993, the two-year program is currently housed on the UBC campus and affiliated
with University Hill Secondary School. Despite an extraordinary range of hurdles - which are
fully discussed and analyzed in this study - the eventual establishment of an early entrance to
university program is seen as a remarkable accomplishment of educational leadership and
organizational learning involving institutional partnerships, flexible governance and a shared
commitment to academically gifted young people.
The study examined the complexities of implementing a unique educational innovation for
academically highly gifted young students in a university setting and in a provincial context
which has not traditionally favored support for the highly gifted. The study had two phases. An
historical narrative traced the development of this innovation and described how the current
program model evolved in response to student needs. Documentary evidence based on original
documents and interviews with program developers, implementers, and participants provided a
multi-faceted perspective of the program's complex history and highlighted factors contributing
to program success for students, as well as problems encountered along the way. Building upon
this narrative, the second phase surveyed and then analyzed the views and expectations of
students, parents, and staff as well as program planners at different stages of the program. These
various perspectives were used to advance an understanding of how and why this unique
program developed as it did, and how its participants variously responded to a wide range of
expectations and needs to arrive at the current delivery model.
The study concludes with a discussion of critical issues and documents the strengths and unmet
needs of academically gifted students that have emerged over the course of the program's
development. It culminates by providing an understanding of key elements related to program
success for gifted youth together with recommendations for future program development and a
broader array of programs and services for academically gifted students in secondary schools and
post-secondary institutions in BC. The study ends by encouraging more support for educational
innovations that respond to the developmentally unique needs of all students, and a commitment
to on-going short term as well as longitudinal research on the Transition Program and its
graduates.

Recognition of prior learning and assessment of adult learners : considerations for theory, policy and practice.Naidu, Sundrasagren. January 2004 (has links)
As part of the transformation agenda of education and training policy, the
main thrust of Recognition and Prior Learning (RPL) in the South
African policy context was to contribute to addressing social justice
issues such as equity, redress and access of the majority of adult learners,
who were historically denied access to formal learning. The study focuses on the following critical questions: What are the official policy claims of the assessment and recognition of prior learning at the national and sectoral level? How do assessors mediate official policy in recognising and assessing
prior learning of adult learners in an institutional context? What are the experiences and engagements of adult learners in having their prior learning assessed?
This research responds to the conceptual gaps in the study of RPL
policy and practice and the National Qualifications Framework. The
study examines epistemological issues such as: what and whose
knowledge is considered as valid; the relationship between knowledge
and experience; the relationship between different types of knowledge
and learning; and the relationship between knowledge and access to power.
The study also addresses a contextual gap: very limited research exists
on the RPL experiences of societies in transition with similar transformational agendas as South Africa.
The present research study also examines the implementation process
in a transitional context, exploring the gap that develops between
intended policies and actual practice.
This is a qualitative study using the case study approach to examine the
complexities of the assessment and recognition of prior learning process
in a Technical College Institution located in the Further Education and Training Band.
The analysis of selected international case studies of RPL contributed to
identifying and exploring conceptual gaps in RPL policy and practice.
These conceptual issues provided the first set of preliminary lens for the
production, description and analysis of data in the research study. The
preliminary lens were then re-interpreted and elaborated in relation to
Bernstein 's theory (1996) of symbolic control and cultural production.
reproduction and change. The synthesised conceptual framework
provided a theoretical vocabulary to redescribe and reinterpret data at
deeper levels of abstraction.
The key findings of the research were as follows:
The undertheorisation of RPL in policy circles and the ways in which
policy has tended to gloss over issues such as "equivalence",
"integrated competence", knowledge-power dynamics and the
differences between mainstream and outsider knowledge;
The gap between policy rhetoric and sectoral practice. The sector
advocated a technicist approach to RPL that was preoccupied with
matching adult experiential learning against prescribed standards.
The sector practice marginalized or even excluded adult learners who
had acquired their knowledge and learning in non-formal and
informal contexts;
Nevertheless, assessors who were socially and culturally sensitive to
the RPL process had an implicit understanding of the different types
of knowledge and knowers. Their developmental approach to RPL provided an enabling environment for adult learners to demonstrate
their learning and knowledge from experience.
Adult learners without high levels of formal literacy were able to
demonstrate their ability to reflect on their experiential learning to
transfer their abstract and critical thought processes to solve new
problems in the assessment context. The research highlights the
commensurability between informal and formal knowledge and the
ability of workers who have learnt their skills informally to
demonstrate high levels of conceptual and transferable skills.
The present research makes the following theoretical contributions:
Firstly , Bernstein's theory was extended to examine policy formulation
and the policy process. Within the framework of critical policy analysis,
a new construct: "relations outside" was created as an analytical tool to
examine the nuances of the macro-contexts (historical, political, social,
economic) which shape the meaning and significance of policy.
Secondly, the research study produces a new conceptual framework to
analyse the complex and dynamic nature of RPL policy and practice in a
transformational context.
The present study advocates a critical and holistic approach to RPL
that interrogates how power-relations within and across contextual,
epistemological and pedagogical issues reproduce or challenge the
existing patterns of inequalities in society. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Durban-Westville, 2004.

Exploration of selected academic and demographic factors influencing attrition and retention of baccalaureate nursing studentsVincent, Jane E. January 1992 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine which academic and demographic factors predict students' achievement in the nursing major of a baccalaureate program. Records of 128 full time subjects were examined to extract the factors selected to be included in the analysis.Data pertaining to each independent variable were organized into three distinct groups based on the known performance of each subject following certification. One group passed all course work in the nursing major; one group failed one or more courses in the nursing major delaying completion; and one group was no longer enrolled. To investigate the differences in the group membership, discriminant function analyses were performed to examine academic and demographic predictors. A classification technique was utilized to test the adequacy of each discriminant function analysis. All classification analyses were 72.3 percent and above in probability level.Two null hypotheses guided this study: Hypothesis I proposed that academic factors do not predict attrition and/or retention in a baccalaureate nursing program; and Hypothesis II proposed that demographic factors do not interact with academic factors in predicting success. Hypothesis I was rejected , and Hypothesis II was not fully accepted based on discriminant function analyses.The following conclusions were identified from the findings of this study:1. Grade point averages in the required prerequisite courses predicted group membership (achievement) in the nursing major.2. Grade point averages of 3.0 during progression in the nursing major predicted membership in a group defined as continuing successfully in the first attempt of course work and graduating on time.3. Grade point averages of less than 3.0 following the first semester in the nursing major predicted membership in a group defined as failing at least one course, or perhaps predict membership in a group that will experience attrition.4. Ethnicity made a significant contribution with academic factors to predicting group membership for achievement.These results suggest that nursing educators and counselors need to consider the importance of not only closely monitoring each subject's semester grade point average, but also referring the identified problem to the appropriate service provider for intervention.3 / Department of Educational Leadership

Supervision and monetary incentivesAllgulin, Magnus January 1999 (has links)
This thesis extends the standard shirking model of efficiency wages to a continuum of effort levels. The generalisation completely overturns previous intuitions. In particular, the characteristic feature of the earlier theory that monitoring and pay are substitute instruments for motivating workers, no longer exists. This is remarkable, since such a negative correlation has been used as the primary empirical test for the existence of efficiency wages. With a continuum of effort levels, the efficiency wage model can also more conveniently be compared with conventional linear incentive wages. The most frequently recurring objection against the efficiency wage model is that unemployed workers should offer to pay entrance fees. This criticism is responded to in a model with finitely many periods. It is shown that the per period worker rents associated with efficiency wages strongly diminishes with the number of periods. It is further argued that both bonds and entrance fees are inferior means of extracting the remaining worker rents compared to investments in firm specific human capital. Finally, the above refinements of the efficiency wage theory are translated to fit in the arena of environmental economics and government policy. The corresponding results establish a rationale for a government to subsidise polluting firms and explain why a command and control policy is preferable to market-based incentive schemes. / Diss.

Previous issue date: 2007 / This study intends to investigate changes brought about in the College Entrance Examinations (Vestibular) of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) in the last 26 years and its effects in the Brazilian Secondary Education. Specifically, the explanations for several modifications established - each at a different time and manner - are analyzed based on interviews with presidents and vice-presidents of the Examination’s Coordination Committee (CCV). Through the speech of the teachers responsible for the elaboration of the Biology tests, the impact of the vestibular exams are revealed as well as the effects in the subjects dealt with in Secondary School. This investigation confirms the historicity of the change process by utilizing documents from the Education, Research and Community Service Council (CEPE) and the Call for Exams Publications from 1978 to 2007. This qualitative research chose a semi-structured interview and document analysis as tools for data survey, focusing especially on the sayings of the presidents and vice-presidents of the CCV related to the changes that took place in UFC’s Vestibular examinations from 1978 to 2007; the sayings of teachers who developed the Biology tests in he UFC Vestibular; as well as on documental analysis of these Biology tests and official documents. In the text, the ability of private schools to adapt to the innovations proposed by the CCV is highlighted and the lack of visibility of these actions by public schools is noticed. It is concluded that the access system to the university has an indisputable influence in Secondary School, both in content and in its epistemological approach, however this influence can only be positive if there is a convergence between the access system to Higher Education and the objectives in Secondary School itself. It is shown that UFC needs to review its selection criteria, resize the contents required and invert the way it contributes with the evaluation process, centralizing its concerns in the construction of an educational proposal that may shape individuals capable of thinking, proposing and making changes that can transform the course of history. / Este estudo se propôs a investigar as mudanças provocadas nos vestibulares da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), nos últimos 26 anos e suas repercussões no Ensino Médio. De modo mais específico analisa-se a partir das entrevistas com os presidentes e vice-presidente da Comissão Coordenadora do Vestibular (CCV) as explicações para as diversas modificações implantadas por cada um ao seu tempo e ao seu modo. Através da fala dos professores elaboradores de provas de Biologia revela-se o impacto causado pelas provas do vestibular e sua repercussão nos conteúdos abordados no Ensino Médio.Esta pesquisa, confirma a historicidade do processo de mudanças fazendo uso dos documentos do Conselho de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão (CEPE) e dos editais de convocação dos vestibulares compreendidos entre 1978 e 2007. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa adota como instrumento de levantamento de dados a entrevista semi-estruturada e análise de documentos concentrando-se especialmente: nas falas dos presidentes e vice-presidentes da CCV relacionadas com as mudanças ocorridas nos vestibulares da UFC no período de 1978 a 2007; nas contribuições dos professores elaboradores de provas de Biologia do vestibular da UFC; na análise documental das provas de Biologia do vestibular da UFC; e na apreciação dos documentos oficiais. Destaca-se no texto a capacidade de adaptação das escolas particulares às inovações propostas pela CCV, e se notifica a pouca visibilidade de iniciativas tomadas nesse sentido pela escola pública. Chega-se à conclusão que o sistema de acesso à universidade tem uma influência inegável no Ensino Médio, tanto no conteúdo como no seu enfoque epistemológico; entretanto essa ascendência pode ser positiva desde que haja convergência entre o sistema de acesso ao Ensino Superior e os objetivos do próprio Ensino Médio. Evidencia-se a necessidade da UFC repensar os critérios utilizados no processo de seleção, redimensionando os conteúdos exigidos e centralizando sua preocupação na construção de uma proposta educativa que forme sujeitos capazes de pensar propor e realizar mudança que transformem o curso dessa história.

This paper, gets as reference the historical materialism, aims to problematize the dynamics of management Collective of popular education, understanding their dynamics as educational political practices. In this point, consists in subjects the identification and analysis, in the context of neoliberal level of capitalism production way, the motivations which gather their different agents and strategies, undertaken to develop the activities. The methodology appropriates from critic epistemology reference privileging the object analysis as a social construction and, therefore, like a constitutional of a historical totality. The study is developing in a movement which, starting from the aim, seeks to put it in a winder social historical context to, then, come back to the object and identify their specificities and manifestation dynamics. It s possible to notice that the praxis intends to undertake a management perspective selfmanageable inside on a teaching institution, The Universidade Federal de Santa Maria , in a process marked for conflicts among this institution and its agents. These contradictions are marked by tension
among values and related practices of individualism and competition, and the emergency from the lived
experience in values related to kindness and democratic participation. / O presente trabalho, que toma como referência o materialismo histórico, tem como objetivo problematizar as dinâmicas de gestão do Práxis Coletivo de Educação Popular, entendendo suas dinâmicas como práticas políticas educativas. Nesta perspectiva, constituem temas a identificação e análise, no contexto do estágio neoliberal do modo de produção capitalista, as motivações que agregam seus diferentes
agentes e as estratégias empreendidas para o desenvolvimento das atividades. A metodologia apropriase
de referenciais da epistemologia crítica, privilegiando a análise do objeto como uma construção social e, desta forma, como parte constituinte de uma totalidade histórica. O estudo é desenvolvido em um movimento que, partindo do objeto, procura situá-lo em um contexto histórico social mais amplo para, então, retornar ao objeto e identificar suas especificidades e dinâmicas de manifestação. Observa-se que
o Práxis busca empreender uma perspectiva de gestão autogestionária no interior de uma instituição de ensino formal, a Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, em um processo marcado por conflitos entre este e a instituição e entre seus agentes. Estas contradições são marcadas por uma tensão entre valores e práticas relacionadas ao individualismo e a competição, e a emergência no bojo da experiência vivida de valores relacionados à solidariedade e a participação democrática.

A College Entrance Essay Exam Intervention for Students with Disabilities and Struggling Writers: A Randomized Control TrialJanuary 2017 (has links)
abstract: High school students with high-incidence disabilities and struggling writers face considerable challenges when taking high-stakes writing assessments designed to examine their suitability for entrance to college. I examined the effectiveness of a writing intervention for improving these students’ performance on a popular college entrance exam, the writing assessment for the ACT. Students were taught a planning and composing strategy for successfully taking this test using the Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model. A randomized control trial was conducted where 20 high school students were randomly assigned to a treatment (N = 10) or control (N = 10) condition. Control students received ACT math preparation. SRSD instruction statistically enhanced students’ planning, the quality of their written text (including ideas and analysis, development and support, organization, and language use), the inclusion of argumentative elements in their compositions, and the use of transition words in written text. Limitations of the study, future research, and implications for practice are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Learning, Literacies and Technologies 2017
