This thesis proposes and estimates a model of university scientists interactions with the private sector; in this model students are conceptualized as an important enabler of such interactions. The results of the study show that university scientists student-related behaviors such as grant support of students and research collaboration with students, and student-related attitudes such as mentoring orientation positively affect the probability that scientists will enter interactions with industry as well as the intensity of such interactions. Behaviors such as teaching and advising of students are not related to interactions with industry. This study is motivated by the increased emphasis on closer relationships between universities and industry as a means to facilitate the commercial application of university research. Today, numerous policies and programs attempt to achieve such goals. As a result, university scientists are called on to perform many tasks which on the surface seem misaligned. There is substantial study of conflict between the teaching and research missions of universities, and a growing body of study on conflict related to university based commercial and technology transfer related activities. Fewer, there are studies suggesting that these activities are not so misaligned after all. This study falls into the latter category as it posits a complementary relationship between university scientists student related activities and their work related interactions with industry, research and otherwise. Speculations regarding the importance of students in university industry relations and indirect evidence are scattered through the relevant literature, but little or no systematic empirical tests of their importance exist. This study uses data from a national survey of university researchers to discern the centrality of students to university-industry interactions. Theoretically, students are conceptualized as a dimension of university scientists respective research capacities that enable cross-sectoral processes of accumulative advantage and thereby help to enable their interactions with industry. As a component of scientists scientific and technical human capital, students help university scientists to identify and act upon on research opportunities originating in the private sector. Moreover, students increase the appeal of university scientists to industry agents seeking research partners in academe. Implications for theory and policy are discussed.

<p>Regional integration is being proposed as a means to development in Southern Africa. As a part of the formal agreements regarding this cooperation, a Protocol on Education in the Southern African Development Community region has been signed. This research set out to compare the higher education systems of two Southern African countries and to examine the extent to which this Protocol has had an impact on national policies and practices. The research sought to investigate this by means of exploring the extent to which the Protocol has provided an institutional frame which is guiding the development of higher education policy in each of the two countries. The findings of the study indicate that the Protocol, rather than providing leadership in the area of education policy, is to a large extent a symbolic document, reflective of norms already existent in national policy in the two countries studied.&nbsp / &nbsp / &nbsp / &nbsp / &nbsp / &nbsp / </p>

This study set out to explore the ways in which non-STEM academics, working within UK universities that had positioned themselves publicly as ‘entrepreneurial’ institutions, interpret and negotiate the related concepts of the entrepreneurial academic and university. The entrepreneurial university concept has become a ubiquitous theme in higher education and policy literatures in recent decades, having been described variously as an ‘idea for its time’ (Shattock, 2010) and the ‘end-point of the evolution of the idea of the university’ (Barnett, 2010, p.i). This research set out to interrogate some of the key ways in which this institutional form, and the corresponding concept of the entrepreneurial academic, have been discursively constructed by advocates in the UK and beyond. Further to this, the study aimed to collect narratives of experience from non-STEM academics employed by self-described ‘entrepreneurial’ universities, both to enquire into how they interpreted the ‘entrepreneurial paradigm’, and to invite them to report on how they felt that their university’s assumption of an enterprise mission had, or had not, influenced its organisational ‘culture’ and their subjectively experienced academic work-lives. The researcher’s interest in the relationship between enterprise discourse and the organisational ‘culture’ of universities stemmed from the apparent consensus within the scholarly and policy literature about the need for universities to develop an integrated ‘entrepreneurial culture’ (Clark, 1998, p.7)(Gibb, 2006b, p.2)(Rae, Gee and Moon, 2009) by pursuing a policy of ‘organisational culture change’, with culture here denoting ‘the realm of ideas, beliefs, and asserted values’ (Kwiek, 2008, p.115) which inhere within institutions. To this end, a series of semi-structured, interpretive interviews were carried out with participants from a range of non-STEM disciplines, working in a variety of university types in the UK. The researcher then employed a discourse-analytic method to delineate some of the ‘discursive repertoires’ that participants used to account for their professional practices, and report on their experiences in - and understandings of - the entrepreneurial university. What emerged from this analysis was a complex picture of ‘enterprise discourse’ within the contemporary university setting, as well as a general tendency amongst participants to adopt a position of ontological scepticism where the issue of ‘university culture’ was concerned. Further to this, it was determined that the ‘inclusive’ interpretation of entrepreneurialism typically employed by advocates for the paradigm had not generally been taken up by participants, for whom it was, for the most part, a phenomenon associated variously with ‘managerialism’, ‘market values’, ‘the business agenda’, ‘income generation’, ‘money making’, and the figure of the ‘individual, lone, romantic, heroic capitalist’. Additionally, where subjects were conversant in broader, more ‘social’ conceptions of academic entrepreneurialism, they typically reported that it was rarely articulated in the internal communications of their respective universities.

Globalization has motivated universities to calibrate institutional responses for strategic purposes. Yet, specific challenges remain for Ukrainian National Research Universities insofar as the interplay between global and (post-)Soviet knowledge discourses reveal a dual framework, whereby adaptive responses to globalization and entrenched state-centered logics run parallel, and often in conflict, with one another. This study took a critical approach to identify and interpret how the phenomenon of internationalization manifested in the development of strategic partnerships, was translated and re-contextualized into structural innovations, and resulted in systemic institutional change. The thesis delves into the institutional behaviour of three flagship universities in Kyiv, Ukraine and their respective doctoral schools. The selected universities – Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv – represent a mixture of organizational types which fall into one or more of the three education archetypes, including the Humboldtian, Soviet and Anglo-American models. These governance models allow for differentiation of institutional interpretations of internationalization and a means of capturing the various ways in which university actors negotiate their spaces of action and translate higher education discourses into practice. The analysis addresses issues of ‘hybridity’ which is not evident in this categorization. The study attempts to problematize internationalization anew by shifting focus on non-linear accounts of the phenomenon in order to comprehend the complex, multi-faceted and often contradictory ways the process plays out across different university landscapes. The inquiry employs conceptualizations combining the Delta Cycle for Internationalization (Rumbley 2010) and a new institutional approach (North 1990). The study is structured as a single-case embedded case study design as described by Yin (2015). Data were collected via 45 semi-structured interviews with university actors and higher education stakeholder agencies, including: senior administrators, mid-level leaders, faculty members and doctoral candidates. The data were supported by scholarly literature, official documents, reports, strategy papers, grey materials, policy statements, field notes. as well as university and ministerial websites. These data were analyzed for content and triangulated according to a modified content analysis approach. This study expands and contributes knowledge on the internationalization of higher education by distinguishing variations of how the phenomenon manifested within different university settings. It examines the place of the university as an organization that not only produces and disseminates knowledge, but assimilates and adapts global knowledge to national needs. Finally, the inquiry explores internationalization as an academic innovation and a process of institutional change which shapes academic identities and legitimizes the university as a global actor.

O procedimento metodológico do trabalho está ancorado na pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo, fundamentada na perspectiva do materialismo histórico-dialético. A princípio, aborda-se o papel da universidade na sociedade, o acesso desse profissional à formação na educação superior, o referencial teórico da formação e da gestão democrática com destaque para a atuação do profissional de AAE nos espaços democráticos da escola, bem como, o conceito de educador a partir da lei nº 12.014/09 e de trabalho educativo. A pesquisa apresenta a história do referido profissional e a busca pela formação na educação superior, os marcos legais da formação que fortaleceram todo o processo de luta e conquistas na carreira, ainda aponta a invisibilidade desse profissional nas pesquisas acadêmicas, sobretudo, desafia as Instituições de Educação Superior à ofertarem tal formação ao profissional de AAE. Os resultados da pesquisa, retratam que esse profissional permaneceu sem formação durante quase dois séculos e mesmo com a garantia da legislação, a política de formação superior para o profissional de AAE, além de ser insuficiente pra atender a demanda, parece não ter se firmado do ponto de vista da implementação e do seu sentido formativo. As entrevistas mostram que, a formação na educação superior reflete tanto o universo da escola como na vida pessoal do indivíduo, com vistas na valorização profissional e no trabalho educativo. O estado de Mato Grosso não tem desenvolvido e/ou implementado nenhuma política de formação voltada ao profissional em questão, entre o período de 1998 a 2013, além do projeto Sala de Educador, embora, o sindicato tenha assumido seu papel de fomentar essa política pública, considerando sua importância no contexto da escola pública de educação básica. / The research aims the following theme "The educational work and professional educational administrative support of Mato Grosso: a demand for public universities" in order to search the understanding on how the schooling in superior education reflects in the educational work of the professional educational administrative support (AAE) within the public school of basic education. The methodological procedure of work is anchored in literature, documentary and field, based on the perspective of historical and dialectical materialism. The main theme addresses the role of the university in society, access to this professional training in higher education, the theoretical training and democratic management with emphasis on the role of the AAE in professional school democratic spaces, as well as the concept of educator from the Law No. 12,014 / 09 and educational work. The research presents the referred professional history and the search for training in higher education, the legal frameworks of training that strengthened the process of struggle and achievements in career, it also shows the invisibility of this professional in academic research, above all, defies the Higher Education institutions to offer such training to AAE professional. The survey results depict that they remained without professional training for almost two centuries and even with the assurance of legislation, higher education policy for the AAE professional as well as being insufficient to meet demand, it seems not to have signed the point of view of implementation and their formation direction. The interviews show that the training in higher education reflects both the school universe as in the individual's personal life, it has been aimed at professional development and educational work. The state of Mato Grosso has not developed and / or implemented any focused on vocational training policy in question, between the period 1998 to 2013, beyond the Educator room design, although the union has assumed its role to promote this public policy considering its importance in the context of public school basic education.

We present our study on higher education courses in Education, History and Agricultural Sciences offered to farmers in agricultural reform implemented at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), in partnership between social movements and UFPB, through an agreement with the National Institute Colonization and Agrarian Reform / Paraíba (INCRA / PB) and the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), through the National Programme for Education in Agrarian Reform (prone). The training courses are experiences of higher education teachers to work in schools in the field, starting from the reflection and the needs of social movements and joint national "Education For a Field" in the context of affirmative action policies in response the struggles of social movements for a quality education, in context with its peculiarities. Thus, this study sought to analyze the above courses from their pedagogical proposals seeking to establish the relationship between these and the fundamentals of field education, and so have a look for the training of educators seeking to investigate and understand that teaching model higher for the field being worked by UFPB courses targeted to farmers and peasants. It is a qualitative survey carried out from the documentary analysis of the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) of Pedagogy, History and Agricultural Sciences, as well as conducting interviews with the coordinators of these courses, which are directly involved in the preparation in the organization and implementing them. / No contexto em que se discutem os programas e as políticas públicas de formação em Educação Superior, desenvolvidas pelas universidades públicas, direcionados aos grupos sociais rurais, na perspectiva de consolidar a pesquisa em Educação do Campo. Apresentamos nosso estudo sobre os Cursos de Pedagogia, História e Ciências Agrárias oferecidos para os camponeses assentados da reforma agrária implementados na Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), em parceria entre os movimentos sociais e a UFPB, através de convênio com o Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária/Paraíba (INCRA/PB) e com o Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA), por meio do Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária (PRONERA). Os Cursos são experiências de formação superior de educadores para atuação nas escolas do campo, que partem da reflexão e das necessidades dos movimentos sociais e da articulação nacional Por uma Educação do Campo no contexto das políticas públicas de ações afirmativas, em resposta às lutas dos movimentos sociais por uma educação de qualidade, contextualizada com as suas peculiaridades. Assim, buscamos nesta pesquisa analisar as propostas pedagógicas os Cursos supracitados procurando estabelecer a relação existente entre esses e fundamentos da Educação do Campo, e assim lançar um olhar para a formação de educadores e educadoras buscando investigar e compreender como a formação superior para o campo está sendo trabalhada pelos cursos da UFPB, direcionados aos camponeses e camponesas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada a partir da análise documental dos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos (PPP&#8223;s) dos cursos de Pedagogia, História e Ciências Agrárias, bem como da realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os coordenadores desses, os quais se envolveram diretamente na elaboração, organização e execução dos mesmos.

Con la intensión de ofrecer el marco de referencia para comprender y comparar las experiencias canalizadas en este número, el siguiente texto presenta la situación de los jóvenes indígenas en la educación superior en México y Perú. Esta descripción contextual ha sido construida desde la comprensión de que todo lo avanzado en esta materia ha sido el resultado de procesos de configuración de una demanda, su traducción como política pública y su re-traducción en la gestión, aplicación o uso de la misma. De esta forma, el texto presenta los casos de México y Perú en dos ejes: la formulación de la demanda y la construcción de la oferta de educación superior intercultural o para pueblos indígenas. / In order to provide a contextual frame to understand and to compare the experiences analyzed in this issue, this introductory text presents the situation indigenous youth is facing in higher education in Mexico and Peru. This contextual presentation has been shaped by our conviction that what has been achieved is a result of a larger process of indigenous struggles and claims, their translation into public policy and its implementation inside higher education institutions. Accordingly, this text introduces the cases of Mexico and Peru through two dimensions: the emergence of the specific claims, on the one hand, and the respective construction of intercultural higher education for indigenous people, on the other hand.

In this context, the present study aims at assessing the international academic mobility program CAPES-BRAFAGRI, from 2006 to 2014, contained in the public policy of internationalization of higher education Binational University Partnerships. The study takes as starting point regulatory documents from CAPES and from UFG and processes mapping that describe the actions of BRAFAGRI program: funding, eligible undergraduate courses, selection, sending and receiving of students and evaluation of the activities performed. To measure the academic performance during the mobility period, were collected data on the studied subjects, approved and utilized in academic processes and, to measure the students perceptions on international academic mobility and employability trend, was submitted to them a structured questionnaire. Through documents and mapping processes it was described the public policy cycle of the program in which were identified: the actors, the activities, the arenas and the institutional environment. Academic processes information have showed that the number of vacancies offered for academic mobility in French institutions is larger than the demand; students have been approved in 70% of subjects taken, however, only 50% of these disciplines are utilized in specific core of the curriculum structures from original courses; Engineering Food is most likely to celebrate double University Degree. Data on students perceptions have shown: international academic mobility was very important for University Graduation and then employability; the expectation of mobility has been satisfied; language teaching and interculturalism are better in French higher education institutions; few previous foreign languages knowledge hindered the implementation of academic and social integration activities. The internationalization policy of higher education directed to undergraduate students fills a gap by providing to Brazilian students, including low-income, take courses and perform stages in different countries, which contributed to the improvement of student graduation and increased internationalization of Brazilian universities. Studies to adopt the methodology developed in this work can be done in other programs that make up the policy of Capes Binational University Partnerships. As a contribution to the understanding of internationalization of higher education, we suggest further studies on the strategic positioning of the internationalization of higher education in the strategic plans of universities, comparative studies of strategies and outcomes among internationalization of policies made in Brazil and in other countries. / A internacionalização do ensino superior refere-se ao aumento de interligações entre os sistemas nacionais de educação, em que o envio e o recebimento de estudantes, docentes e funcionários técnico- administrativos é um dos componentes essenciais. Neste contexto, o presente estudo visa avaliar o programa de mobilidade acadêmica internacional CAPESBRAFAGRI, de 2006 a 2014, contido na política pública de internacionalização do ensino superior Parcerias Universitárias Binacionais. O estudo parte de documentos normatizadores da CAPES e da UFG e do mapeamento de processos que descrevem as ações do programa BRAFAGRI: financiamento, cursos de graduação elegíveis, seleção, envio e retorno dos estudantes e avaliação das atividades executadas. Para mensurar o desempenho acadêmico durante o período de mobilidade, foram coletados dados sobre disciplinas cursadas, aprovadas e aproveitadas nos processos acadêmicos e para mensurar as percepções dos estudantes sobre a mobilidade acadêmica internacional e tendência de empregabilidade, foi submetido aos estudantes um questionário estruturado. Por meio dos documentos e do mapeamento de processos foi descrito o ciclo de política pública do programa em que foram identificados: os atores, as atividades, as arenas e o ambiente institucional. As informações dos processos acadêmicos mostraram que a quantidade de vagas ofertadas para mobilidade acadêmica em instituições francesas é maior do que a demanda; os estudantes foram aprovados em 70% das disciplinas cursadas, porém, apenas 50% dessas disciplinas são aproveitadas no núcleo específico das estruturas curriculares dos cursos de origem; o curso de Engenharia de Alimentos é o que tem maior probabilidade para celebrar duplo-diploma. Os dados sobre as percepções dos estudantes mostram que: a mobilidade acadêmica internacional foi muito importante para a formação profissional e para empregabilidade; a expectativa sobre a mobilidade foi satisfeita; o ensino de línguas e interculturalidade são melhores nas instituições de ensino superior francês; o baixo conhecimento anterior sobre idiomas estrangeiros dificultou a execução de atividades acadêmicas e integração social. A política de internacionalização do ensino superior direcionada aos estudantes de graduação preenche uma lacuna, ao proporcionar aos estudantes brasileiros, inclusive os de baixa renda, cursar disciplinas e realizar estágios em diversos países, o que contribuiu com a melhoria da formação do estudante e incremento da internacionalização das universidades brasileiras. Estudos que adotem a metodologia desenvolvida nesse trabalho podem ser feitos em outros programas que compõem a política Parceria Universitária Binacional da Capes. Como contribuição ao entendimento sobre internacionalização do ensino superior, sugerem-se outros estudos sobre o posicionamento estratégico da internacionalização do estudo superior nos planejamentos estratégicos das universidades, estudos comparativos de estratégias e resultados entre as políticas de internacionalização feitas no Brasil e em outros países.

Magister Educationis - MEd / The purpose of the study is to understand the roles, functions and perceived performance of the Tertiary Education Council (TEC) in higher education governance in Botswana. The study describes the relationship between the government, the TEC and higher education institutions in Botswana. The main objectives of the study are to: a) Examine the roles and functions of the TEC in Botswana’s higher education regarding policy formulation, quality assurance and coordination in the planning and development of tertiary education. b) Explore potential tensions between the roles and functions of the TEC and those of some of its stakeholders. c) Establish the performance of the TEC in relation to the three functions of policy formulation, quality assurance and coordination in the planning and development of tertiary education. The study is located within the broader framework of higher education governance. It examines the different models of higher education governance (such as state control, state interference and state supervision models) and the relationship involved between different stakeholders in governance of higher education. Furthermore, the framework focuses on the implications of the dynamics of higher education governance on the roles and functions of buffer bodies. The study adopted a single case study approach and it was designed to allow for the use of multiple sources of evidence. Data was collected through a review of both institutional and policy documents, semi-structured interviews with eight informants from the TEC and the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, as well as a survey targeting institutional heads of higher education institutions in Botswana. The use of qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection provided useful and in-depth data and allowed for triangulation. The data was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings of the study reveal that there are differing conceptions of the TEC’s role in higher education in Botswana. Whereas the TEC sees itself as ‘middleman’ between the government and higher education institutions, the higher education institutions conceptualise the role of the TEC as an extension of government. The differing views on the TEC’s role, as either buffer or agent, result in different expectations of the roles and functions of the TEC. In addition, the study revealed that Botswana’s higher education system is characterised by fragmentation and duplication of roles, which limit the mandate of the TEC, thereby creating tensions between the TEC and other constituencies in the Botswana higher education system. The study thus contributes to the understanding of the roles and functions of the TEC in the governance of higher education in Botswana. It also contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the different stakeholders involved in the governance of higher education and the implications of this relationship on the roles and functions of buffer bodies. Overall, the study shows the complexities involved in the governance of higher education in a young and evolving system of higher education, and in a context in which the roles and functions of the key players are contested and inconsistently understood.

The study is a critical investigation of social justice concerns in higher education policy in emerging democracies such as South Africa. The study focuses on three initiatives at the University of Pretoria as exemplary projects that address social justice concerns in order to redress the situation in post-apartheid South Africa. These initiatives are the Institute of Women and Gender Studies, IGWS, which attempts to achieve gender equality, eliminate patriarchal tendencies and unleash women‘s potentialities within the University of Pretoria; The Centre for the Study of HIV/AIDS which seeks to eliminate any discriminatory tendencies against University of Pretoria members who are living with HIV/AIDS and contribute meaningfully in reducing the scourge of the pandemic; and The University of Pretoria Foundation Year Programme, UPFY, which attempts to increase the participation rates of the previously disadvantaged in areas of scarce skills such as mathematics and science. The study seeks to share new insights into the limits of grand policy frameworks that promise much by way of social justice but deliver very little in real terms. This policy gap trajectory between intent and practice begins and ends at the University of Pretoria as a case study that provides important lessons for cognate institutions and other social structures. The study is further likely to contribute insights into how higher education can implement programmes so as to purportedly address and redress social injustices and inequalities when in essence; these programmes achieve little more than a public relations objective. The intent of this case study is to illuminate attempts, through various programmes, by higher education to address social justice concerns such as inequality and discrimination, and reflects the inadequacy of such efforts that are not developed within an institution‘s capacity in order to affect the existing institutional culture. In reflecting on the persistent policy challenges and the marginalisation of social justice agenda, the study points to the dominance of the neo-liberal discourse on a global and local scale and its manifestation in higher education in the form of commodification and marketisation. As a result, the study proposes the revival of a radical social justice agenda so as to mainstream social justice concerns in higher education and promote its emancipatory possibilities. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted
