In offering this modality of education, one of the greatest challenges faced by CEFET-MG has been to ensure the students persistence in these courses. Many of them drop out, postponing or even inhibiting the achievement of a diploma. Therefore, this research aims to investigate and analyze, from the point of view of the students who attend the integrated technical course in Constructions, offered in the PROEJA modality, which factors make them insist on their studies, how they realize the educational formation they have and the extent to which they exercise their citizenship in this context. Two semi-structured questionnaires were used for the purpose of classifying and pointing a demonstrative authority to the qualitative analysis. Furthermore, eight students and a servant of the school were heard with the objective of investigating issues related to the persistence of the students in the course and their exercise of citizenship. Once all the data was collected, it was possible to verify that the actions taken by the Fostering Education Program at CEFET-MG corroborate effectively to the persistence of these students. It was also possible to verify that the process of identification of these students as a team, the appropriation they make of their course and the consequent demand for their rights happen naturally. The students question the conditions under which the course is offered - from its institutional infrastructure to the pedagogical practice of the teachers, without assuming their own limitations and needs. We concluded that, as they struggle to assure their rights, guarantee their school seats, and conquest the desired professional skills, the students reflect upon their own situation, what leads them to increase their self-knowledge level and understand themselves as subjects of rights. This circumstance leads them into the movement of citizenship construction, which happens along their academic career. The EJA, by attending individuals marked by social exclusion, contributes to their rescue of the exercise of citizenship / É sabido que a evasão é um problema crucial que dificulta o alcance dos objetivos propostos à Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). Ao procurar concretizar tal oferta de ensino, um dos grandes desafios enfrentados pelo CEFET/MG tem sido assegurar a permanência dos alunos nesses cursos, pois muitos evadem, postergando, ou mesmo inviabilizando a conquista do diploma. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo pesquisar e analisar, sob o ponto de vista dos alunos frequentes no curso técnico integrado em Edificações, oferecido na modalidade PROEJA, quais fatores os levam a permanecer na instituição, como eles percebem a formação educacional que recebem e até que ponto eles exercem sua cidadania, nesse contexto. Foram aplicados dois questionários semiestruturados, que serviram para classificar e indicar uma autoridade demonstrativa dirigida à análise qualitativa. Ainda, foram ouvidos oito alunos e uma servidora da instituição, com o objetivo de investigar questões relativas à permanência e ao exercício de cidadania. Com os dados coletados, foi possível constatar que as ações executadas de acordo com o Programa de Permanência do CEFET-MG corroboram efetivamente para a permanência desses alunos. Foi, também, possível perceber que o processo de identificação desses alunos enquanto turma, da apropriação que fazem do curso e consequente reivindicação por seus direitos acontece naturalmente. Os alunos questionam as condições em que se dá a oferta do curso desde a infra-estrutura institucional até a prática pedagógica dos professores, sem deixar de levar em consideração as suas próprias limitações e necessidades. Concluímos que, na medida em que lutam para assegurar seus direitos, garantir sua vaga e conquistar a capacitação profissional desejada, os alunos refletem sobre sua situação, o que os leva a aumentar seu nível de autoconhecimento e a perceber-se como sujeitos de direitos. Tal circunstância leva-os ao movimento de construção de cidadania, que se dá ao longo de sua trajetória acadêmica. A EJA, ao atender indivíduos que trazem a marca da exclusão social, contribui para o resgate do exercício de cidadania

One of the most important goals of school is to teach children how to read and write. But there are also children with great problems in reading and writing/dyslexia at school. In the Swedish School Plan you can, for example, read that one of the school’s most important goals is to give these children with special needs the help that they need. This study will investigate how six young people with reading and writing problems/dyslexia experienced the first nine years at school. There has been very little research regarding students´ experiences of having reading and writing problems/dyslexia early in school, which is strange because school is a place where children spend most of their time. This study will raise the questions about how young people were treated by their teachers, what they think of having a diagnosis, what kind of individualization they received and how they think about continuing their education. To fulfil the study’s purpose I did six qualitative interviews with young people between the ages of 18 and 24 years. The primary theoretical basis in this study was identity formation, inclusion, exclusion and integration. The results show, for example, that five out of the six young people sometimes experienced that their teachers didn’t understand their writing and reading problems and that resulted in inappropriate treatment from the teachers. The young people could feel anxiety which often led to low self-confidence. The diagnosis was difficult for three of them, but none of the interviewed felt that the diagnosis had affected them. The results also show that a good individualization was difficult for the teachers to accomplish in practice, and it also showed that previous experiences in school perhaps influenced whether they chose to continue their studies or not. One of the conclusions is that it is very important to discover a child’s reading and writing problem at an early age and to give the child a lot of help. Otherwise the child can develop a low self-esteem, and it is negative for a child’s identity formation.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / A utilizaÃÃo de mediadores tecnolÃgicos nas relaÃÃes entre os jovens faz parte de nossa contemporaneidade, cabendo à psicologia investigar as repercussÃes psÃquicas provenientes do uso desses artifÃcios. Dentre estes aparelhos, os telefones celulares parecem ocupar local de destaque, por uma sÃrie de razÃes, dentre as quais, sua alta acessibilidade, por grande parte da populaÃÃo. As cores, os modelos e as funÃÃes dos telefones celulares constituem-se em atrativos que chamam a atenÃÃo dos jovens, fortalecendo o consumo destes bens, os quais estÃo inseridos em lÃgica de promoÃÃo publicitÃria que alardeia elementos signos. Nessa forma de publicizaÃÃo, os atributos tÃcnicos dos aparelhos perdem espaÃo frente aos aspectos sÃgnicos. As relaÃÃes estruturadas a partir desses mediadores, ou mesmo que tÃm sua manutenÃÃo garantida por eles, podem eliciar uma sÃrie de elementos constitutivos inÃditos nas relaÃÃes. Dessa feita, o presente trabalho tem por objetivos: identificar as repercussÃes psicossociais mais significativas derivadas do consumo de telefones celulares entre jovens na faixa etÃria de 14 a 18 anos, de ambos os sexos e de nÃveis socioeconÃmico A e B; avaliar possÃveis mudanÃas nas estratÃgias de inserÃÃo/exclusÃo grupal, decorrentes da mediaÃÃo tecnolÃgica da relaÃÃo entre os jovens pesquisados e por fim analisar criticamente o discurso dos jovens relacionando-o com os dados quantitativos, com os dados qualitativos e com o referencial teÃrico pesquisado. Para tanto, a metodologia empregada atuou em duas frentes. Na primeira, quantitativa, desenvolveu-se uma escala de atitudes, a qual foi aplicada em uma amostra de vinte oito jovens. Essa, foi selecionada a partir da aplicaÃÃo do CritÃrio de classificaÃÃo EconÃmica Brasil (ANEP). Na parte qualitativa, foram realizados quatro grupos de discussÃo, com um encontro cada um e posterior anÃlise das falas dos jovens. Nessa etapa foram selecionadas quatro categorias de anÃlise: relaÃÃo de amizade, relaÃÃo amorosa, tecnologia/ publicidade e pÃblico/ privado. Os resultados mais significativos sugerem que os telefones celulares tÃm sua importÃncia ligada à manutenÃÃo das relaÃÃes jà estabelecidas, que as relaÃÃes mesmo mediadas necessitariam de um encontro cara-a-cara para sà possa perdurar e que o telefone celular rivaliza com outros sinos do consumo,como elemento balizador das estratÃgias de exclusÃo e inclusÃo social

This work has as objective problematizes e cultural representations produced on the deaf teachers inserted in the Higher education. This study brings as theoretical scaffolds the productions of Cultural Studies and Deaf Studies in Education, to think the production of the deaf teachers' identities as a strategy of the inclusion politics. To articulate the subjects that involve the identity of the Deaf Teachers and the Higher education as study problem has his/her emergency in the current politics returned for the inclusive education. Among the main actions of these politics they stand out: the creation of laws, courses of specific degrees for teachers' formation in the area Pounds (Letras/Libras), recruiting of Interpreters of Sign Language for the attendance of those educational ones in formation or professionals in the spaces of performance. Before this scenery, different representations have been produced concerning the deaf teacher's presence in the higher education. Those representations are constituted in a materiality narrated starting from the speeches of the listener students, of the listener teachers and of the own deaf teachers. In the perspective in study, the representations are understood as discursive effect produced by the language, in other words, the language simultaneously can be a representation process, as well as of constitution of the subjects. In that sense, he/she become important to notice that "things" start to have significance when they are attributed them certain meanings. Therefore, the representations produced on and for the deaf teachers they designate the spaces that they occupy in the speech of the inclusion politics and, in the specific case, in the higher education institutions. Finally, this work search to do the analysis about power of the speeches in the constitution in ways of thinking of the modernity that you/they institute the reality concerning the deaf teachers in the Higher education. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo problematizar as representações culturais produzidas sobre os professores surdos inseridos no Ensino Superior. O estudo traz como andaimes teóricos as produções dos Estudos Culturais e Estudos Surdos em Educação, para pensar a produção das identidades dos professores surdos como uma estratégia das políticas de inclusão. Articular as questões que envolvem a identidade dos Professores Surdos e o Ensino Superior como problemática de estudo tem sua emergência nas atuais políticas voltadas para a educação inclusiva. Entre as principais ações destas políticas, destacam-se: a criação de leis, cursos de licenciaturas específicas para formação de professores na área Libras (Letras/Libras), contratação de Intérpretes de Língua de Sinais para o acompanhamento desses docentes em formação ou profissionais nos espaços de atuação. Diante deste cenário, diferentes representações vem sendo produzidas acerca da presença do professor surdo no ensino superior. Essas representações se constituem em uma materialidade narradas a partir dos discursos dos alunos ouvintes, dos professores ouvintes e dos próprios professores surdos. Na perspectiva em estudo, as representações são entendidas como efeito discursivo produzido pela linguagem, ou seja, a língua pode simultaneamente ser um processo de representação, como também de constituição dos sujeitos. Nesse sentido, tornase importante perceber que as coisas passam a ter uma significação quando lhes são atribuídos determinados significados. Portanto, as representações produzidas sobre e pelos professores surdos designam os espaços que eles ocupam no discurso das políticas de inclusão e, no caso específico, nas instituições de ensino superior. Em fim, este trabalho procura fazer a análise sobre o poder dos discursos na constituição das formas de pensar da modernidade que instituem a realidade acerca dos professores surdos no Ensino Superior.

The aim of this paper was to study how sports associations or support associations that practice sports, work to include young people with a foreign background in their activities, what activities such associations organize to help these young people create new contacts with other social arenas and what measures they take to counteract or prevent social exclusion. We studied whether and to what extent the members' participation helps them to integrate more easily into the Swedish society by learning the language and getting acquainted with Swedish culture. The study was conducted with semi-structured interviews. We interviewed two leaders and two coaches who are all active in associations that aim to assist the young people with foreign background. This selection of respondents gave us a broad spectrum of what is going on inside these associations. With the interviews as a starting point, we have tracked various positive and less positive topics. Young people with a foreign background can end up in various difficult situations, such as unemployment, which can lead to exclusion or other exclusionary factors that in a broader sense will affect both young people and society. Our study results in that participation in sports or support associations can help young people with a foreign background to integrate more easily into Swedish society, but it is crucial that societal resources are not deficient.

Yes / Purpose: Digital Financial Services (DFS) have substantial prospect to offer a number of reasonable, appropriate and secure banking services to the underprivileged in developing countries through pioneering technologies such as mobile phone based solutions, digital platforms and electronic money models. DFS allow unbanked people to obtain access to financial services through digital technologies. However, DFS face tough challenges of adoption. Realising this, the aim of this paper is to identify such challenges and develop a framework. Design/Methodology/Approach: We develop a framework of challenges by utilising Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and Fuzzy MICMAC approach. We explored eighteen such unique set of challenges culled from the literature and further gathered data from two sets of expert professionals. In the first phase, we gathered data from twenty-nine professionals followed by eighteen professionals in the second phase. All were pursuing Executive MBA programme from a metropolitan city in South India. The implementation of ISM and fuzzy MICMAC provided a precise set of driving, linkage and dependent variables that were used to derive a framework. Findings: ISM model is split in eight different levels. The bottom level consists of a key driving challenge V11 (i.e. high cost and low return related problem) whereas the topmost level consists of two highly dependent challenges namely V1 (i.e. risk of using digital services) and V14 (i.e. lack of trust). The prescribed ISM model shows the involvement of ‘high cost and low return related problem (V11)’, which triggers further challenges of DFS. Originality/value: None of the existing research has explored key challenges to DFS in detail nor formulated a framework for such challenges. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper on DFS that attempts to collate its challenges and incorporate them in a hierarchical model using ISM and further divide them into four categories of factors using fuzzy MICMAC analysis.

Les Acadiens du Nouveau-Brunswick ont un parcours identitaire collectif riche en rebondissements qui les a menés vers une identité singulière solide. Ils se trouvent désormais confrontés au contexte d’une nouvelle réalité qui est la mondialisation. Depuis les dernières décennies, les changements occasionnés par la mondialisation se répercutent dans la conception même que l’on se fait du parler acadien et des pratiques culturelles acadiennes. Le chiac par exemple, auparavant stigmatisé et dévalorisé, devient maintenant porteur de valeurs identitaires modernes rattachées au mélange des cultures et à l’ouverture à l’autre. Toutefois, les contours de l’identité acadienne demeurent flous et sujets aux débats épistémologiques. La situation particulière d’un groupe qui n’a plus de territoire officiellement reconnu a une forte incidence sur les critères d’appartenance que les acteurs peuvent mobiliser pour se définir. Comment expliquer les processus d’identifications et les stratégies identitaires qui définissent l’appartenance au groupe chez les Acadiens? Partagent-ils les mêmes processus identitaires présents dans la littérature sur le sujet? Une connaissance plus approfondie des processus généraux peut-elle aider à mieux saisir et expliquer la complexité d’un groupe sensiblement diasporique dont l’identité et ses contours sont incertains? L’anthropologie en milieu acadien est presque inexistante. D’autre part, l’identité culturelle est un sujet ayant été longuement étudié et débattu, mais qui demande toujours plus de précision. Cette recherche a permis de mieux cerner de quelle façon la représentation de l’acadianité évolue en milieu minoritaire. / Acadians in New Brunswick have a solid sense of collective identity that it the result of a long and eventful process. They are now faced with the a new reality that is the context shaped by globalization. In recent decades, the changes caused by globalization are reflected in the way that Acadie and Acadian cultural practices are framed discursively. Chiac, for example, was previously stigmatized and devalued, but now becomes the bearer of modern identity values attached to the mixing of cultures and openness to others. Yet the contours of Acadian identity remain unclear and are subject to epistemological debates. The particular situation of this group that has no officially recognized territory has a significant impact on what membership criteria actors can mobilize to define their group. How can we explain the process of identification and identity strategies that define group membership among the Acadians? Do they share the same identity processes that are mentioned in the literature on the subject? Could a deeper understanding of general processes help to better understand and explain the complexity of a group whose indentity is marked by the diasporic experience and whose contours are uncertain? Anthropology is almost nonexistent in the Acadian community. At the same time, cultural identity is a topic that has been extensively studied and debated, but that needs more precise definition. This research is aimed at contributing to a better understanding of how of the representation of minority Acadian identity has evolved.

Viele Probleme der Kombinatorik, Zahlentheorie, Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, Zuverlässigkeitstheorie und Statistik lassen sich durch Anwendung einer einheitlichen Methode lösen, die als Prinzip der Inklusion-Exklusion bekannt ist. Das Prinzip der Inklusion-Exklusion drückt die Indikatorfunktion einer Vereinigung endlich vieler Ereignisse als alternierende Summe der Indikatorfunktionen ihrer Durchschnitte aus. Die vorliegende Schrift befasst sich mit verbesserten Inklusions-Exklusions-Identitäten und verbesserten Bonferroni-Ungleichungen, die voraussetzen, dass die Ereignisfamilie gewissen strukturellen Anforderungen genügt. Solche wohl-strukturierten Ereignisfamilien finden sich u.a. in der schließenden Statistik, der kombinatorischen Zuverlässigkeitstheorie und der chromatischen Graphentheorie. / Many problems in combinatorics, number theory, probability theory , reliability theory and statistics can be solved by applying a unifying method, which is known as the principle of inclusion-exclusion. The principle of inclusion-exclusion expresses the indicator function of a union of finitely many events as an alternating sum of indicator functions of their intersections. This thesis deals with improved inclusion-exclusion identities and improved Bonferroni inequalities that require the family of events to satisfy some structural restrictions. Examples of such well-structured families arise in problems of statistical inference, combinatorial reliability theory and chromatic graph theory.

As an ILCAE group researcher I focused on the process of teaching-learning and development of Deaf students during Portuguese classes in main stream classrooms. Considering the importance of mediated action in the teaching-learning process, I analyzed the resources that the teachers used to establish the interaction with their students in a context where there were neither interlocutors with satisfactory knowledge of LIBRAS, first language of Deaf students, nor interpreters. The research question was How does the teaching-learning of the Deaf student included in regular classroom happen? . After an initial interpretation of the data, I organized the analysis in four themes: teaching-learning, inclusion-exclusion, the Deaf, and language. Within a Socio-Historical-Cultural Theory perspective, data were analyzed based on what Bronckart (1999) defined as thematic content. The research was carried out in a critical interpretative methodology (Weber, 1987; Moita Lopes, 1996; Liberali & Liberali, mimeo). The discussion of data was based on Bakhtin s theoretical studies about language, on Vygotsky s perspectives about teaching and learning; and on Deaf Studies, by Skliar (1998). The research was developed in a State Elementary and High school of a city in the outskirts of São Paulo. The participants in the research process were: three Deaf students, three teachers (two Portuguese language teachers and a SAPE classroom teacher) and the other students who attend to the focused classroom. The data, consisting of: a) audio and video recording of 2 classes; b) audio recording of interviews with the participating teachers, c) researcher s observations; and d) field notes, were collected in 2007 and 2008. The discussions brought up by this study show that, currently, in regular main stream school, there has not been effective inclusion of the Deaf, and thus he/she has been put outside the teaching-learning process. Therefore, in the so called inclusive school, he/she has been all out of the conditions for his/her full development. In order to move toward an inclusion, in fact, it is necessary to restructure the way Brazilian State schools are constituted so that they could consider the linguistic, cultural, political demands for linguistic minorities, in this case, for Deaf community / Este trabalho insere-se na área de Lingüística Aplicada e, mais especificamente, na área de Formação de professor de Linguagem. Como pesquisadora do grupo ILCAE, concentrei-me nas questões de ensino-aprendizagem e desenvolvimento de alunos Surdos em aulas de Língua Portuguesa em sala regular. Pela relevância da ação mediada no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, investigamos os recursos utilizados pelas professoras na interação com seus alunos, uma vez que não tinham conhecimento satisfatório de LIBRAS, primeira língua dos alunos Surdos, e não contavam com o auxílio de intérpretes. Adotei Como se dá o ensino-aprendizagem de Surdos inclusos em sala de ensino regular como pergunta de pesquisa norteadora e, após uma primeira interpretação dos dados, organizei a análise em quatro temas: ensino-aprendizagem, inclusão-exclusão, Surdo e linguagem. Os dados foram analisados a partir do que Bronckart (1999) definiu como conteúdo temático, sob a luz da teoria sócio-histórico-cultural. A discussão dos dados apoiou-se, teoricamente, nos estudos de Bakhtin (1929/1999, 1953/2003) sobre linguagem, nas discussões de Vigotski (1930,1934a,b,c) sobre ensino-aprendizagem e nos Estudos Surdos de Skliar (1998). A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola pública estadual de ensino fundamental e médio de uma cidade da Grande São Paulo. Foram participantes do processo: três alunos Surdos, três professoras (sendo duas professoras de português e uma de sala SAPE) e os demais alunos da turma focal desta pesquisa. A metodologia de pesquisa utilizada é interpretativista crítica (Weber, 1987; Moita Lopes, 1996; Liberali e Liberali, mímeo). Os dados foram coletados nos anos de 2007 e 2008 e consistiram de: a) gravação de duas aulas em áudio e vídeo; b) gravação em áudio de entrevistas com as professoras participantes; c) observações; e d) notas de campo. As discussões suscitadas por este trabalho permitem afirmar que, atualmente, não há uma efetiva inclusão do Surdo na escola regular, ficando este à margem do processo de ensino-aprendizado. Assim, na escola dita inclusiva, são negadas a ele condições para seu desenvolvimento pleno. Para caminhar em direção a uma inclusão, de fato, faz-se necessário reestruturar a constituição da escola brasileira, de modo a que possa contemplar as demandas lingüísticas, sociais, culturais e políticas das minorias lingüísticas, neste caso da Comunidade Surda
