The purpose of this study was to: (1) identify the sources of job-related stress which create excessive pressures for the directors and faculty of medical record administration and medical record technology programs; (2) identify the strategies that the directors and faculty of medical record administration and medical record technology programs find most helpful in coping with stress; (3) determine the relationship among demographic variables and job-related stressors as perceived by the directors and faculty of medical record administration and medical record technology programs; and (4) determine the difference among the means of five stress factors as perceived by the directors of medical record administration, faculty of medical record administration, directors of medical record technology and faculty of medical record technology programs. Questionnaires were mailed to 403 respondents. The response rate was 81.3%. Within the limitations of this study, the results revealed that "Having insufficient time to keep abreast of current developments in my field"was the highest stressor. The top stress coping strategy was "Social interaction." The relationship between demographic variables and five stress factors of reward and recognition, time constraint, departmental influence, professional identity and student interaction revealed a positive correlation between degree and professional identity factor, and a negative correlation between degree and student interaction factor. The results also indicated a positive correlation between type of program and the factors-time constraint, professional identity and student interaction; a positive correlation between academic rank and the factors--time constraint and student interaction; a positive correlation between teaching responsibilities and time constraint factor; and a positive correlation between marital status and professional identity factor. The directors and faculty of medical record administration perception of time constraint and professional identity factors differed from that of the directors and faculty of medical record technology programs.

This study begins with an explanation of the development of the college education and of Business Administration courses in Brazil. It analyzes the planing of the Business Administration course in an attempt to verify whether the teaching of Statistics complies with the current legislation. It examines the proposals of the Curricula Guidelines, which have been submitted to the Ministry of Education - MEC for approval. The methodology used in this study included surveying the course planning programs adopted by the institutions in the city of Sao Paulo, which have their Business Administration course approved by the MEC. This data gathering resulted in 18 planing programs collected among 35 institutions. The analyses of these plans included all topics they should cover. However the findings showed that the institutions do not take plans totally into consideration and, although they are compatible with their stated purposes, their contents are not consistent with the actual demands of the professional market. Basically, all institutions employ the same methods and teaching techniques mentioned in the planning programs, that is, lecture sessions followed by practical exercises. The assessment criteria is practically the same among all institutions with testes and lists of exercises. More importantly, there is an excessive number of reference books of which many titles are sold out or outdated. We believe that this study may be useful not only for university teachers but also for School Managers. The conclusions may lead teachers to reflect on needed improvements in the teaching of Statistics, and School Managers, to reflect on the course curricula. / O objetivo desta disserta????o ?? determinar o que est?? sendo ensinado em Estat??stica nos cursos de Administra????o de Empresas na cidade de S??o Paulo.

A metodologia utilizada neste estudo constituiu na coleta dos planos de ensino das Institui????es localizadas na cidade de S??o Paulo, cujos cursos de Administra????o s??o devidamente reconhecidos pelo MEC. Esta coleta resultou em 18 planos entre 35 Institui????es consultadas. A an??lise desses planos levou em considera????o todos os t??picos que os mesmos devem conter. Entre os itens avaliados foi verificado que as Institui????es n??o levam em considera????o estes t??picos e, entre os conte??dos analisados, estes n??o se mostram articulados consistentemente, embora estejam compat??veis com os objetivos declarados. Basicamente, os m??todos e t??cnicas de ensino indicados nos planos, s??o os mesmos em todas as Institui????es, ou seja, aulas te??ricas expositivas acompanhadas de exerc??cios de aplica????o. Os crit??rios de avalia????o observados nas Institui????es consultadas revelaram-se praticamente os mesmos, ou seja, aplica????o de provas e listas de exerc??cios. A bibliografia adotada apresentou-se bastante extensa e com v??rios t??tulos esgotados e desatualizados. Acreditamos que um estudo desta natureza pode ser ??til tanto para os professores quanto para os administradores escolares. No caso dos docentes, o conhecimento gerado nesse estudo, poder?? propiciar uma reflex??o visando a melhoria do processo de ensino da Estat??stica. Quanto aos administradores escolares, uma reflex??o sobre o curr??culo do curso.

Those students from a private school, located in North zone of Sao Paulo City were in 2??, 3?? and 5?? semesters level. In order to conduct this research, an instrument was created and validated. Four sections compose this instrument: the student (atributes), in the school way (transportation, distance and time spent to arrive there), the school (infrastructure items) and in the school (relationships with teachers, colleagues and school employees). The research results made evident that besides motivational reasons of students attendancerelated with quality of teachers and pedagogical methods applied, there are other motivational reasons for those students that can be categorized in there different areas: (1) external school aspects (location, ways of transportation, traffic, and infrastructure and safety in the neighbourhood where the school is located), (2) infrastructure school aspect (laboratories, library, sport and other facilities, cleanness and features of classroom) and (3) social aspects (integration with other students and integration with teachers), making the environmental cliamte school. It's possible conclude analysing the data of this research that: State (responsible for public safety, public transportation and cities traffic management); the School Manager (responsible for to create and to maintain the school infrastructure: library, laboratories, make available services to students and school physical features); and the Teacher (relationship with the student) have responsabilities that impact the student motivation in to go to the school and to attend classes.

So, the general objective of this research was to identify and evaluate the educational content of Accounting in Business courses in the micro-region of Ara??atuba and Birigui, stressing that this is an excellent tool to aid in decision-making processes. The teaching conditions were analyzed and the perceptions of teachers who teach Accounting subjects were obtained, as well as the perception of the coordinators of the courses of Business Administration. Techniques were applied to literature, documentation, content analysis to evaluate the teaching plans of each accounting discipline, in addition to descriptive statistics, combined with cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling for data collected with questionnaires. The analysis of the programs revealed that the two micro-regions have a very similar curricular grid and structure in the teaching plans, with good variation in teaching strategies, a variety of evaluation criteria and emphasis on certain content groups. In the perception of the respondents there is a higher turnover of the coordinators, who have quite a few years' experience in higher teaching. On the other hand, most of the teachers said they that they know the pedagogical project of the IES they teach and all exercise another professional activity. In the assertions, all of the interviews agreed that the professional experience of the teacher contributes to update programs and that the contents of the courses are related to the objectives of the course of Business Administration and are important for the future Administrator. Most of them further agree that the provision of Accounting disciplines reveals an alternative in the profession performance for the future Administrator and students identify the integration of Accounting disciplines with other disciplines of the course. / Notadamente o mercado atual est?? cada vez mais competitivo e isso requer profissionais cada vez mais qualificados, portanto alguns aspectos importantes devem ser explorados na forma????o desse profissional, para que ele possa desenvolver o que se espera.

Para tanto, utilizou dados de instituições, cursos e alunos da área de administração, do ano de 2006, extraídos principalmente do Censo da Educação Superior e do Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes (ENADE). Os principais conceitos utilizados foram o de qualidade – que foi associado às dimensões de efetividade, eficiência, eficácia e equidade – e o de eficácia escolar. A investigação teve como característica ser quantitativa, utilizando-se de funções de produção inspiradas nos trabalhos de Scheerens (2000 e 1990). A partir do referencial teórico, foram propostas três hipóteses que auxiliaram a responder a pergunta de partida: H1) os fatores de contexto, entrada e processo, simultaneamente, contribuem significativamente para a qualidade de cursos superiores; H2) fatores relacionados ao nível socioeconômico dos alunos e ao contexto do município da IES são, nessa ordem, os que mais contribuem com a qualidade de cursos superiores; H3) modelos elaborados com os fatores de contexto, entrada e processo conseguem explicar, ao menos, metade (r2 > 0,5) da variância da qualidade de cursos superiores. O estudo envolveu em sua base de dados 60 variáveis independentes – associadas às dimensões de contexto, entrada e processo – e três independentes – associadas à dimensão eficácia. Ao todo, foram trabalhados dados de 1.465 cursos e 130.270 alunos. Para a investigação das hipóteses, foram adotadas as seguintes técnicas estatísticas: análise descritiva, análise bivariada, análise de classes latentes, regressão logística e modelos de equações estruturadas. A partir da análise de classe latente (LCA), a base de dados foi reduzida para 11 construtos (variáveis independentes) e três variáveis dependentes, o que facilitou a interpretação dos resultados das modelos formados. Com os resultados das regressões logísticas foi possível confirmar parcialmente a primeira e segunda hipóteses. A partir dos modelos de equações estruturais não foi possível confirmar a terceira hipótese. Apesar disso, pode-se verificar que cursos com melhor desempenho no ENADE estão mais associados a: universidades públicas e com alta concorrência; instituições com mais professores do quadro, experientes e mais dedicados à pesquisa; instituições com menos alunos por professor e professor doutor; e a cidades mais desenvolvidas e ricas. Como contribuição, este trabalho ampliou o conhecimento sobre fatores de eficácia escolar no ensino superior brasileiro, servindo de fundamento para discussão de políticas públicas educacionais nesse nível de ensino; introduziu, no Brasil, a LCA como uma técnica estatística com potencialidades para o campo das Ciências Sociais Aplicadas; e difundiu mais a utilização de modelos de equações estruturais como ferramenta para a compreensão de fenômenos sociais complexos. / Salvador

The research describes how creativity in higher education can be introduced as a concept that could enhance the creative thinking and application of adult learners enrolled in the Advertising Management Diploma. A number of different routes were attempted in order to answer the research question „can creativity be taught? ‟ Cord and Clement (2010) stated that adult learners should be allowed to practice their skills and prior knowledge, and that the learning material should promote generic workplace skills. The research discovered that the learning material for the Advertising Management diploma does little to enhance or even cater for imagination and creative application. It is vital for accurate application to take place, as this will enhance creativity. The problem formation is centered on the lack of sufficient skills in using one‟s imagination to generate creative ideas. This research study included five research activities that employed a semi-structured interview that involved sessions spanning over a period of six months, aligned to the course material‟s learning outcomes, and creative application of such acquired knowledge. It was established that, in order to further the creative application of young adults, it is important that they are able to link theory to practical and so be able to create concrete examples of what they are capable of doing. / ABET and Youth Development / M.
