The major purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the insertion and practice of students and graduates on Pedagogy of the Universidade Federal de Sergipe (1968-1978) in the educational field in Sergipe. Another goal is to comprehend the opening of this academic field and its functioning and legitimation in the local sphere, and its contribution to the formation of teachers and Education specialists. For which it was donne a historical research based on bibliographic and documental analyses, both on the framework of the New History theoretical and methodological premises, more precisely of the new historiographic school named Cultural History. Besides, the study was oriented by the concept of field, capital and habitus, on Bourdieu’s account, and the concept of memory on Le Goff’s and Pollak’s account. According to the research, it is possible to conclude that the graduation on Pedagogy was among the courses authorized to be offered by the Faculdade Católica de Filosofia de Sergipe (FAFI), from 1951. However, the course had only been given to the public on 1968 after the inauguration of the Universidade Federal de Sergipe in 1967. The graduation course was opened by a determination of the civilmilitary government in order to inaugurate the Universidade Federal de Sergipe which required the FAFI’s fragmentation and the implementation of the Institute of Languages, Philosophy and Human Sciences and the Faculty of Education. After its implementation it was the most popular graduation course during the decades of 1960 and 1970 on the field of Education in the Universidade Federal de Sergipe. One of the reasons for it is associated to the national reformulation in 1969, which included the broadening of the field of expertise for educators by creating the habilitations: coordination, administration, supervision, and school inspection. Educators and specialists had worked in strategic functions of the educational field in this process, contributing to the modernization and expansion of teaching. In this sense, it is not possible to omit or deny the students’ and graduates’ contributions in the implementation of educational polices on the improvement of teaching, despite the fact that the course was implemented after an imposition of the civil-military government, and of the dominant interpretation of social and ideologic control as the main interest of the government. / Cette thèse vise principalement à analyser la façon dont a eu lieu l'intégration et la performance des étudiants et diplômés du cours de pédagogie de l'Université Fédérale de Sergipe (1968-1978) dans le domaine de l'éducation en Sergipe. En ce sens, elle vise également à comprendre le processus de création, le fonctionnement et la légitimité de cette sous-zone académique au niveau local et leur contribution à la formation des enseignants et des experts en matière d'Education. Pour ça, on a été réalisée une recherche historique à travers de l'analyse bibliographique et documentaire, à la fois ancrés dans les hypothèses théoriques et méthodologiques de la Nouvelle Histoire, en particulier le nouveau courant historiographique appelé Histoire Culturelle. En outre, l'étude a été dirigée par le domaine des idées, des capitaux et habitus de Pierre Bourdieu, et la mémoire de Le Goff et Pollak. Selon la recherche, nous pouvons voir que des cours autorisés pour le fonctionnement de la Faculté Catholique de Philosophie de Sergipe (FAFI), à partir de 1951, était la Pédagogie. Cependant, ce cours a commencé à foncionner en 1968, après la création de l'Université Fédérale de Sergipe (en 1967) et la certitude de l'intégration de la FAFI à le plus jeune institution de l'enseignement supérieur. Le fonctionnement du cours était une décision du gouvernement militaire civile pour la création de l'UFS, qui exigeait le démembrement de la FAFI et l’impantation de l’ Institut des Lettres, de Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines et de la Faculté d'Éducation. Après sa mise en oeuvre, le cours est resté pendant les années 60 et 70 du XXe siècle le cours le plus populaire dans la formation de l'Université Fédérale de Sergipe. Une des raisons de cette demande a été associée à la reforme nationale du cours en 1969, qui a élargi le champ de travaille des pédagogues par l’établissant les qualifications dans la Supervision, l'Administration, d'Orientation et d'Inspection Scolaire. Dans ce processus, les enseignants et les experts, ont travaillé dans des rôles stratégiques du domaine de l'éducation en Sergipe, contribuant à la modernisation et à l'expansion de l'éducation. Donc, nous partons de l'idée que, même si le cours a été installé par une imposition du gouvernement militaire civile et ces règles des interprétations qui réduisent les intérêts de contrôle social / idéologique de ce gouvernement, nous ne pouvons pas omettre et ni taire pas les contributions de leurs élèves et diplômés dans la mise en oeuvre des politiques éducatives visant à l'amélioration et à l'expansion de l'éducation. / Esta tese tem como objetivo central analisar como ocorreu na prática a inserção e a atuação dos alunos e licenciados do curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (1968-1978) no campo educacional sergipano. Nesse sentido, também pretendese compreender o processo de criação, funcionamento e legitimação desse subcampo acadêmico no âmbito local e sua contribuição para a formação de docentes e especialistas em Educação. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa histórica por meio das análises bibliográfica e documental, ambas ancoradas nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Nova História, mais precisamente da nova corrente historiográfica denominada História Cultural. Além disso, o estudo foi direcionado pelas concepções de campo, capital e habitus, de Pierre Bourdieu, e memória de Le Goff e Pollak. De acordo com a pesquisa, podemos constatar que dentre os cursos autorizados para o funcionamento da Faculdade Católica de Filosofia de Sergipe (FAFI), a partir de 1951, estava o de Pedagogia. No entanto, esse curso só passou a funcionar em 1968, após a criação da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (em 1967) e a certeza da incorporação da FAFI à nova unidade de ensino superior. A concretização no funcionamento do curso foi uma determinação do Governo Civil Militar para a criação da UFS, o qual exigia o desmembramento da FAFI e a implantação do Instituto de Letras, de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas e a Faculdade de Educação. Após sua implantação, o curso permaneceu durante as décadas de 60 e 70 do século XX sendo a graduação mais procurada na área de formação do magistério da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Um dos motivos para essa demanda estava associada a reformulação nacional do curso, em 1969, a qual ampliou o campo de atuação dos pedagogos mediante a criação das habilitações em Supervisão, Administração, Orientação e Inspeção Escolar. Nesse processo, docentes e especialistas, atuaram em funções estratégicas do campo educacional sergipano, contribuindo com a modernização e expansão do ensino. Assim, partimos da tese de que, apesar do curso ter sido instalado mediante recomendações do Governo Civil Militar, e dominar interpretações que o reduzem aos interesses de controle social/ideológico desse Governo, não podemos omitir e nem silenciar as contribuições de seus alunos e diplomados na implantação de políticas educacionais que visavam à melhoria e ampliação do ensino. / São Cristóvão, SE

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans la problématique générale de la transformation du marché du travail en Chine durant les deux dernières décennies et de la place des jeunes migrants dans ce processus. Dans un contexte de transition économique, nous assistons en Chine à des phénomènes de segmentation des marchés du travail, à la montée du taux de chômage, et à la création massive d'emplois informels, le tout se traduisant par une mise en mobilité généralisée du monde du travail, notamment à travers un phénomène massif de migration interne. Les jeunes en mobilité - notamment les jeunes diplômés « nomades » dans les grandes villes - se voient de plus en plus relégués dans les zones urbaines de vulnérabilité (Robert Castel) où différentes formes de précarités (notamment du travail et de logement) s’enchevêtrent et s’accumulent. Dans une société de croissance, les inégalités se multiplient et se creusent de manière vertigineuse. La mobilité sociale semble en panne et le sentiment d’injustice augmente. C’est donc à ce phénomène de migration dans un double mouvement de transformation du marché du travail et de recomposition urbaine que nous consacrons nos réflexions dans ce travail. Nous sommes en présence de jeunes migrants qualifiés vivant dans les villages-Urbains à Pékin, figures analytiques des métamorphoses en cours. Cette recherche a été menée durant l’année 2011 – 2012 à Pékin. Ces individus ont de 2 à 8 ans d’expérience professionnelle et résident dans les villages urbains à Pékin au moment de l’enquête. Cette recherche s’appuie sur des matériaux empiriques collectés et analysés selon des méthodes variées. Le travail de terrain a permit de réaliser 180 questionnaires (données quantitatives), 60 entretiens biographiques (matériau qualitatif), ainsi qu’une observation ethnographique dans un village-Urbain.Cette étude a pour but d'appréhender, en termes de carrières, le parcours d’insertion ainsi que l’expérience migratoire des jeunes diplômés, à partir des processus structurels (politiques d'emploi, politique migratoire, réseaux, etc.), et de la mise en récit, par les jeunes, de leur parcours, afin de mettre en évidence les mécanismes de production des inégalités et la construction d’identités sociales derrière les changements observés en Chine. Notre étude poursuit trois objectifs. Le premier consisterait à saisir objectivement les différentes positions et statuts occupés et d'autre part, à saisir la manière dont les jeunes interprètent leur parcours selon la perspective dans laquelle ils se trouvent, les positions qu'ils occupent et les stratégies qu'ils mettent en place. Le deuxième objectif serait de démontrer d'une part, comment les identités objectives et subjectives interagissent et se redéfinissent et d'autre part, comment le rapport au travail des jeunes se construit. En troisième lieu, le but consiste à articuler la question de l’insertion professionnelle et du rapport à l’espace, alors que la mobilité tend à devenir une norme sociale tant dans le monde du travail que dans la gestion migratoire (Hélène Pellerin, 2011). / This thesis is part of the broader issue of the transformation of the labor market in China over the past two decades and the place of young migrant workers in this process. In the context of economic transition, Chine has witnessed many important changes such as the phenomenon of urban labor market segmentation, the rise in unemployment and the massive creation of informal jobs, all leading to increased mobility in the working world, as seen particularly in the phenomenon of mass domestic migration. Migrant working youth – especially university graduates from a rural background (or smaller cities) who move to large cities - are being increasingly relegated to the urban areas of vulnerability (Robert Castel,1995) where different forms of precariousness (especially in terms of employment and housing) overlap and accumulate. China’s strong economic growth has given rise to inequalities that are multiplying and deepening at a dizzying rate. Upward mobility seems broken as feeling of injustice is rising. This migration phenomenon, a simultaneous transformation of the labor market and urban restructuring, is the focus of our study. We shall examine the case of young skilled migrants living in urban villages in Beijing, analytical figures of metamorphosis in progress. This research was conducted between 2011 and 2012 in an urban village in Beijing. The subjects had between 2 and 8 years of professional experience and lived in urban villages in Beijing at the time of the survey. This research is based on empirical data collected and analyzed using various methods. Our fieldwork in China enabled us to distribute180 questionnaires (quantitative data), 60 biographical interviews (qualitative material) as well as an ethnographic observation in an urban village. This study aims to investigate, in terms of careers, the process of professional integration and the experience of migration of graduates by looking at structural factors (employment policy, migration policy, networks, etc.), and the narrative pattern used by young people to relate their journey, in order to highlight the mechanisms that produce inequalities and construct social identities underlying the changes being observed in China. Our study has three objectives. The first is to understand both the different positions and statuses held and the way in which young people interpret their journey from their perspective, the positions they hold and the strategies they adapt. The second objective is to demonstrate how their objective and subjective identities interact and are redefined, as well as how their relationships toward work are formed. Thirdly, the goal is to articulate the issue of professional integration and its relationship to physical space, in a context where mobility is becoming a social norm in both the working world and the management of migration (Hélène Pellerin 2011).

The thesis topic: Mapping professional path of chemistry-teacher training graduates at the Faculty of Education Abstract: This thesis is analysing current carreers of former chemistry students (absolvents) at the Charles University of Prague, Faculty of Education. The theoretical part is focused on topics such as pedagogic proffesion, pedagogic research, research methods and briefly also to study "Absolvents of the Charles University". The practical part constitutes the research itself. There were 78 graduates of the faculty asked for completion of a questionnaire that was created. The evaluation was performed on the basis of gathered data. After comparing with other, but very similar researches, it was found that research results are almost similar and generally corresponds with current trends. The aim of this study was to look up and get in touch with as many as possible faculty graduates and learn more about their careers. For example, if it was hard to find the corresponding employment in education sphere after their graduation, whether they even teach or how - after practical experience - do they contemplate the teaching profession. Keywords: teaching profession, the usage of graduates, career, chemistry teachers, Charles University in Prague: Faculty of Education, pedagogic research, questionnaire,...

Recent studies have shown that graduates from historically White universities (HWUs) experience better labour market outcomes than graduates from historically Black universities (HBUs). This is a result of the legacy of apartheid which promoted racial inequality in all spheres of South African society, more especially in higher education and the labour market. Post-1994, government dedicated large amounts for the restructuring of the higher education sector of South Africa in order to level out the playing field. However, graduates from HWUs still experience better labour market success than graduates from HBUs. That said, there is limited information about the labour market outcomes and experiences of graduates from a former White university (especially graduates from Rhodes University). Therefore, the central aim of this dissertation is to show that graduates from a historically White university (Rhodes University) experience varying and unequal outcomes in the South African labour market on account of (among other factors) their chosen fields of study, race and sex. This study is informed by the heterodox labour market approach, which is partly inspired by the critical realist account of the labour market. As a result, this theoretical framework allowed the researcher to use the Labour Market Segmentation (LMS) theory as a tool to inform this analysis. The study has adopted a quantitative survey design and has incorporated some of the key methodological lessons learned from the collection of international graduate tracer studies. The findings from this study indicated that ‘field of study’ is a strong determiner of the outcomes of Rhodes graduates in the labour market. This was visible in the persistence of a skills bias towards commerce and science graduates. Evidently, even when we controlled for race and sex, graduates from the commerce and science faculties experience better labour market outcomes than humanities graduates. This is a result of a skills biased South African economy, which has a higher demand for certain skills over others. However, the findings from this study also show evidence of pre-labour market discrimination and inequality (based on race and sex) in the supply-side institutions such as the family, schooling and university. The findings also show continuities and discontinuities of labour market discrimination (based on race and sex) in the outcomes of Rhodes graduates in the South African labour market. More importantly, this dissertation indicates that Rhodes graduates experience varying outcomes in the labour market as a result of (among other factors) their chosen fields of study, race and sex.

L’ampleur du phénomène du retour des jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger et la rareté des contributions scientifiques restent les principaux catalyseurs de s’aventurier dans cette démarche de recherche. Dans cette perspective, nous avons opté pour une étude centrée sur la réussite de la mobilité internationale des jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger par le biais des représentations sociales. Elle a pour enjeu d’enrichir les avancées de recherches sur la mobilité internationale, et d’apporter des réponses pratiques et tangibles aux nombreuses questions qui se posent au sein du monde des entreprises et des affaires.Notre question de départ se compose de deux volets principaux. Le premier s’intéresse à la compréhension du contenu de la représentation sociale de la réussite de la mobilité internationale de notre population d’étude. Le deuxième volet propose de déterminer les variables qui expliquent cette réussite. Pour répondre à la problématique de ladite recherche, nous avons subdivisé cette étude en deux parties. La première éclaire les théories et concepts inspirés de disciplines variées. Elle traite, par la suite, de la formulation des hypothèses et la présentation du modèle de recherche. La deuxième partie met en exergue les apports empiriques au travers de deux études d’investigation. Primo, nous avons réalisé une étude qualitative menée auprès de trente-deux responsables d’entreprises et experts opérant dans le monde des affaires au Maroc. Secundo, nous avons effectué une étude quantitative destinée aux jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger. En définitive, nous avons obtenu deux cents quatre-vingt seize réponses à notre questionnaire.Les résultats de notre recherche apportent de diverses implications managériales, notamment sur le plan de la compréhension de la substance de la réussite des jeunes diplômés formés à l’étranger et la détermination des facteurs les plus significatifs expliquant cette réussite. / The magnitude of the return of young Moroccan graduates trained and scarce scientific contributions remain the main catalyst to adventurer in this research process. In this perspective, we opted for a study focusing on the success of the international mobility of young Moroccan graduates trained through social representations. Its challenge to enrich advanced research on international mobility and to provide practical and tangible answers to the many questions that arise in the business world.Our initial question consists of two main components. The first is interested in understanding the content of the social representation of the success of the international mobility of our study population. The second proposes to determine the variables that explain this success. To address the issue of such research, we divided the study into two parts. The first illuminates the theories and concepts inspired from various disciplines. It deals later, the formulation of hypotheses and the presentation of the research model. The second part highlights the empirical knowledge through two field studies. First, we conducted a qualitative study of thirty-two companies and consultants working in the business world leaders in Morocco. Second, we conducted a quantitative study for young Moroccan graduates trained. Ultimately, we got two hundred ninety-six responses to our questionnaire.The results of our research provide various managerial implications, especially in terms of understanding the essence of successful graduates trained and determination of the most significant factors behind this success.

TechnillionJobs is a solution consists of a digital web application, mobile App and a start-up. The solution is intended for helping unemployed Iraqi graduates & students at the final stages of their university studies network with employers locally and internationally. TechnillionJobs can give a bigger opportunity to easier find jobs/build a professional career, and therefore can be a contributing solution in reducing unemployment among graduates in Iraq. The purpose of the project is mainly to investigate and identify the reasons behind unemployment amongst Iraqi graduates as well as present a solution to reduce this problem and its negative effects. Also, to explore potential target groups, their needs and requirements for the product. The primary target groups were categorized as unemployed Iraqi graduates who can provide their knowledge and skills online, innovative companies who put a huge emphasis on their R&D department and educational companies that provide online courses & lesson plans. Primarily, the project group wanted to develop a concept that would respond to the problem statement by “only” launching a web application which in later development phases expanded to even a mobile App and start-up to provide real time services and offer On-demand Contracts (Explained in The Final Product section of this report) as well. In order to do a solid research in the problem area and come up with possible solutions and perform analysis, different scientific frameworks, methodologies and project tools such as Design Thinking, Agile methodology, Gantt-chart, Surveys and mini-risk calculation were used to make sure that the project execution follows a scientific structure. An overall timeline from the start of the project to the end is presented as well. The group has carried out this project in an iterative way where the user has always been in focus during a long dynamic development process. The opportunities for further development are many and, in the future, the product will be a more complete tool for connecting graduates with employers. Future business plans and goals are clarified in the Discussion section of this report. / TechnillionJobs är en lösning som består av en digital webbapplikation, mobil App och ett start-up. Lösningen hjälper arbetslösa irakiska akademiker och studenter i slutskedet av sina universitets-/högskolestudier knyta kontakter med arbetsgivare lokalt och internationellt. Detta kan ge en större möjlighet till att enklare hitta jobb/ bygga en yrkeskarriär, och kan därför vara en bidragande lösning för att minska arbetslösheten bland akademiker i Irak.  Syftet med projektet är främst att undersöka och identifiera orsakerna bakom arbetslöshet bland irakiska akademiker samt att presentera en lösning för att minska detta problem och dess negativa effekter. Också, att utforska potentiella målgrupper, deras behov och krav på produkten. De primära målgrupperna kategoriserades som arbetslösa irakiska akademiker som kan förse med sina kunskaper och färdigheter online, innovativa företag som lägger stor vikt på sina FoU-avdelningar och utbildningsföretag som tillhandahåller onlinekurser och lektionsplaner. Projektgruppen ville främst utveckla ett koncept som skulle svara på problemformuleringen genom att "endast" bygga en webbapplikation som i senare utvecklingsfaser utvidgades till även en mobil App och ett start-up för att tillhandahålla tjänster i realtid och erbjuda On-demand kontrakt (förklaras under rubriken The Final Product i denna rapport).  För att göra en gedigen forskning inom problemområdet och komma på möjliga lösningar och utföra analyser, användes olika vetenskapliga metoder och projektverktyg som Design Thinking, Agil produktutveckling, Gantt-schema, enkäter och mini-risk-beräkning för att se till att projekt genomförandet följer en vetenskaplig struktur. En övergripande tidslinje från projektets början till slutet presenteras också. Gruppen har genomfört detta projekt på ett iterativt sätt där användaren alltid har varit i fokus under en lång dynamisk utvecklingsprocess. Möjligheterna för vidareutveckling är många och i framtiden tänkas produkten att bli ett mer komplett verktyg för att länka akademiker med arbetsgivare. Framtida affärsplaner och mål klargörs i Discussion avsnittet i denna rapport.

Employment issues in South Africa (SA) are a significant problem. There are ongoing discussions revolving around the employability challenges facing South African graduates, particularly in the Information Technology (IT) sector. The preparedness of these IT graduates has been questioned with many looking towards skill sets and employability status while others have scrutinised the validity of the IT curriculum meeting industry needs. The research focuses on a case study of graduates from an accredited, private higher education institution in SA. The study followed a qualitative approach using questionnaires and interviews to understand the experiences of employers, employed graduates and recruitment personnel upon employment of the graduates. This study investigated, determined and confirmed recommendations to adapt the South African higher education IT curriculum to improve the productivity of IT graduates upon employment. / School of Computing / M.
