O presente estudo aborda a produção intelectual da população da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (FACED/UFRGS). Questiona qual a representatividade e o impacto desta produção para a academia e para a sociedade, bem como a possibilidade de realização do estudo em bases de dados não convencionalmente utilizadas em estudos métricos. Tem como objetivo geral analisar a produção intelectual da FACED/UFRGS depositada entre 2000 e 2015 pelos servidores docentes, técnico-administrativos em educação e colaboradores no Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade. A análise, estruturada em forma de quatro artigos, verificou a produção em documentos específicos, como os artigos de periódicos, artigos de divulgação em revistas e jornais e em livros. Além disso, identificou as principais características da produção, através de índices métricos e caracterizou as motivações externas dessa produtividade e suas implicações. Estudo cientométrico, de nível micro de agregação, analisa a produção intelectual da população da FACED coletada no Software Aleph entre os anos de 2000 a 2015. Do total da produção intelectual, que contém 15.254 registros, 10% correspondem a artigos de periódicos e mais de 18% a publicações em livros. Os artigos de divulgação científica correspondem a menos de 1% do total da produção. Finalmente, foram analisadas as taxas de crescimento da produção em periódicos, constatando que não houve crescimento ou migração para as revistas científicas na população estudada. É discutida a possibilidade de utilização de catálogos de bibliotecas como fontes para estudos métricos; os resultados em comum entre os artigos, representando práticas da área do estudo; e os vieses e limitações que qualquer base de dados possui. Conclui que o estudo foi possível de ser realizado por ter sua coleta de dados realizada em base de dados alternativa. Também, que a avaliação da produção deve considerar a diferença entre as áreas do conhecimento, valorizando as peculiaridades de cada uma. Contribuiu ao proporcionar aproximação da teoria com a prática profissional. Por fim, espera-se que este estudo possa ser útil à FACED no seu planejamento estratégico. / The present study addresses the intellectual production of the population of the Faculty of education of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (FACED/UFRGS). Questions which is the representative nature and the impact of this production for the Academy and society, as well as if it is possible to carry out the study in databases not conventionally used in metric studies. Aims to analyze the General intellectual production from FACED/UFRGS deposited between 2000 and 2015 by professors, technical-administrative servers in education and employees in the University Library System. The analysis, structured in the form of four articles, checks the production demand in specific documents, such as journal articles, articles of dissemination in magazines and newspapers and in books. In addition, identified the main characteristics of the production through metric indexes and to characterize the external motivations for this productivity and its implications. Scientometric, micro-level study of aggregation, it analyses the intellectual production of the population of FACED collected in the Aleph Software, from 2000 to 2015. From the total of intellectual production, which contains 15,254 records, 10% correspond to journal articles and more than 18% to publications in books. Scientific articles correspond to less than 1% of the total production. Finally, it was analyzed the production growth rates in journals, noting that there was not an growth or migration to scientific journals in the study population. It is discussed the possibility of using library catalogs as sources for metric studies; the common results between the articles, representing the area of study; and the biases and limitations that any database features. It is concluded that the study was possible to be accomplished by having the data collection performed in alternative database. It is also concluded that the evaluation should consider the difference between the areas of knowledge, highlighting the peculiarities of each area. This study provides the approach of theory with practice. Finally, it is hoped that this study will be useful to FACED in strategic planning.

University of Macau / Faculty of Education

In 1957, The University of British Columbia launched Canada's first degree-granting program in adult education. It subsequently grew to be one of the largest departments in the Faculty of Education, and recognized internationally for its work. As it grew, however, the program lost its initial administrative privilege. This study asks why UBC had the honour of this Canadian "first," and how the program flowed and ebbed. It shows the relations between the department's administrative and intellectual activities, and how the program fit British Columbia's social development more generally. The study concludes that the successes were largely opportunistic, as the program profited from the changing face of higher education more generally and privileges secured under an early administrative regime. The program's failure was that it did not create a stable identity independent of these opportunities: it failed to gain recognition from academic outsiders as the home of distinct adult education research and knowledge, and it failed to become the gatekeeper of a controlled profession.

This thesis explores the early twentieth century beginnings of the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia, when that university first accepted responsibility for the education of secondary teachers. The university's participation came in successive stages, beginning with summer school sessions, moving to a shared training responsibility for high school teachers with the Normal School, and eventually to total responsibility for the training of high school teachers. In addition to documenting the steps by which high school teacher training became established as a program of university studies, this study analyzes the academic, social and political forces that combined to create a perceived need for, and then to legitimize, the creation of a new university department. The University of British Columbia's acceptance of responsibility for this training was a culmination of a complex social interaction of three groups (including the state, the teachers, and university administrators and faculty) all of whose values were shaped by the newly dominant ideology of professionalism. Accordingly, fundamental assumptions about "appropriate" training for teachers were embedded in a social milieu where professionalization, bureaucratization, and gender issues were compelling forces. The perceived centrality of professionals in a increasingly technocratic society led to pressure being exerted from a number of quarters in British Columbia for the institutionalization of high school teacher training in an appropriately scientific arena - the university. This study focuses on the theoretical principles underlying the dialectic of ideological determinism and human agency, as well as the historical evidence of the way that one such ideology (professionalism) shaped the transition of social policy (high school teacher training). The study concludes by utilizing contemporary theoretical perspectives to discuss the premises which inform not only the ideology of professionalism but also any metanarrative which purports to identify the true way for training teachers and by expressing hope that, as the type of knowledge associated with social power shifts, those who establish any new framework for teacher education will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

This thesis presents the results of a descriptive and exploratory study conducted with eight student-teachers preparing to teach English as a second language at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes, experience and beliefs of the student-teachers towards diversity (sexual, ethnic, linguistic, economic, religious, etc.). The notion of intercultural education as promoted by the Quebec Ministry of Education and elaborated by Fernand Ouellet (2002) was used as a theoretical framework. / Analysis of the qualitative data shows a misunderstanding of the term intercultural education by the student-teachers, but a positive attitude towards diversity. However, the participants of this study, when presented with situations dealing with discrimination, do not know how to solve the problems. They do not always fight homophobic discrimination, fearing complaints from parents or the school principal, although they act to counter racist or sexist forms of discrimination. Student-teachers tend to believe that a school teacher should not express opinions in the classroom or participate in debates. Finally, student-teachers expressed a number of criticisms towards the teaching program at MGill University.
