Furthermore, this study also aims to evaluate the first two years of the implementation of the targets 12, 13 and 14, and to carry out the projection of its challenges for the country by the year 2024; to comprehend how the SUs are inserted in the context of higher education in Brazil; to identify the main institutional and academic characteristics and the main asymmetries in the set of Brazilian State Universities; to detect the main existing asymmetries in the group of Brazilian SUs; to analyze the content of the goals for higher education of the State Education Plans (SEPs), to investigate the average cost and expense per student of the SUs; to estimate what would be the necessary increase of resources, as a percentage of national and state GDP, so that the states, through their SUs, can contribute to the achievement of these goals. From the methodological point of view, the first step of this research has shown to be an exploratory study which later developed into a descriptive, critical interpretative study that has been subsidized by documental and bibliographic research, collection and analysis of statistical data for the accomplishment of projection estimation presented here. This study is composed of four main categories of analysis: the expansion of Brazilian higher education, the education plans (national and state), the institutional and academic profile of the UEs, and, finally, the funding of the SUs. These categories are theoretically supported by the studies of Aguiar (2010), Amaral e Pinto (2005), Amaral (2016), Dourado (2010, 2011, 2016, 2017), Fialho (2011, 2012), Martins (2000), Oliveira and Dourado (2016), Oliveira (2011), Ranieri (2000), Sguissardi (2000, 2014), among others. The data collected by this study reveal that the challenges of expansion and funding are audacious for the states to contribute to the PNE (2014-2024) goals for higher education. Therefore, it is defended as a thesis that although the SUs integrate the same administrative category as "state public universities", they are constituted by a set of HEIs marked by institutional asymmetries in several aspects: as to its architecture of spatial organization; to the characteristics of offer of their undergraduate enrollments, as to the qualification of its academic staff; as regarding the offer and performance in the stricto sensu post-graduate course ; its statutory regulations; in terms of their funding; and regarding its challenges of expansion towards the goals of the PNE (2014-2024) for higher education. This study understands that the asymmetries identified in the set of the SUs are mainly due to the fact that they have very different contexts regarding their creation, structuring, and functioning, and because they are subordinated to different maintainers (states of the federation) and to distinct academic, institutional regulations and financial capacity. Moreover, it is argued that the challenges of the SUs in front of the PNE (2014-2024) goals for higher education explicit the present contradictions in terms of the higher education offer promoted by these institutions, in terms of its funding, and in terms of the regional inequalities of this group of HEIs. These contradictions and the imperative challenges of enrollment expansion and the increase in the funding, necessary for the SUs to contribute to the success of these goals, allows us to affirm that there are objective limits which compromise the effective participation of the states in reaching these goals for higher education in brazil, through their SUs. Moreover, it is possible to affirm that the effectiveness of the content proposed by the PNE strategy 12.18 (2014-2024) is of fundamental importance for the states of the federation to contribute to the achievement of these goals for higher education, through their SUs. / Este estudo possui como principal objetivo investigar e apresentar qual seria a expansão necessária de matrículas de graduação e pós-graduação stricto sensu e a ampliação no financiamento para que as UEs, por estado da federação, possam contribuir com o êxito das metas do PNE (2014-2024) para a educação superior. Para além deste, objetiva-se também: avaliar os dois primeiros anos de vigência das metas 12, 13 e 14 e realizar a projeção de seus desafios para o país e até o ano de 2024; compreender como as UEs estão inseridas no contexto da educação superior do país; identificar as principais características institucionais e acadêmicas e as principais assimetrias no conjunto das UEs brasileiras; analisar o conteúdo das metas para a educação superior dos Planos Estaduais de Educação (PEEs); apurar o custo e o gasto médio do aluno das UEs por estado da federação; estimar qual seria a ampliação necessária de recursos, como percentual do PIB nacional e estadual, para que os estados, por meio de suas UEs, contribuíssem para o alcance dessas metas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a primeira etapa desta pesquisa mostrou-se como um estudo exploratório, que depois evoluiu para um estudo descritivo de caráter crítico e interpretativo, sendo subsidiado por pesquisa documental, bibliográfica, levantamento e tratamento de dados estatísticos para a realização dos cálculos das projeções apresentadas. Este estudo é composto por quatro principais categorias de análise: a expansão da educação superior no Brasil, os planos de educação (o nacional e os estaduais), o perfil institucional e acadêmico das UEs e, por fim, o financiamento das UEs. Essas categorias apoiam-se teoricamente nos estudos de Aguiar (2010), Amaral e Pinto (2005), Amaral (2016), Dourado (2010, 2011, 2016, 2017), Fialho (2011, 2012), Martins (2000), Oliveira e Dourado (2016), Oliveira (2011), Ranieri (2000), Sguissardi (2000, 2014), entre outros. Os dados levantados por este estudo revelam que são audaciosos os desafios de expansão e financiamento para que os estados possam contribuir com as metas do PNE (2014-2024) para a educação superior. Portanto, defende-se como tese que, embora as UEs integrem a mesma categoria administrativa sendo “universidades públicas estaduais”, elas se constituem por um conjunto de IES marcado por assimetrias institucionais em diversos aspectos: quanto à sua arquitetura de organização espacial; quanto às características de oferta das suas matrículas de graduação; quanto à titulação de seu corpo docente; quanto à oferta e atuação na pós-graduação stricto sensu; quanto às suas regulamentações normativas; quanto ao seu financiamento; quanto aos seus desafios de expansão perante as metas do PNE (2014-2024) para a educação superior. Este estudo compreende que essas assimetrias idenficadas no conjunto das UEs são decorrentes, principalmente, do fato de elas possuírem contextos muito distintos quanto à sua criação, estruturação e funcionamento e por estarem subordinadas a mantenedores (estados da federação) e regulamentações acadêmicas, institucionais e capacidade financeira distintos. Defende-se ainda que os desafios das UEs perante as metas do PNE (2014-2024) para a educação superior explicitam as contradições presentes quanto à oferta de educação superior promovida por essas instituições, quanto ao seu financiamento e quanto às desigualdades regionais desse conjunto de IES. Essas contradições e os imperativos desafios de expansão de matrículas e ampliação no financiamento necessário para que as UEs possam contribuir com o êxito dessas metas permitem-nos afirmar que existem limites de caráter objetivo que comprometem a efetiva participação dos estados, por meio de suas UEs, no alcance dessas metas para a educação superior no Brasil. É possível afirmar ainda que a efetivação do conteúdo proposto pela estratégia 12.18 do PNE (2014-2024) é de fundamental importância para que os estados da federação, por meio de suas UEs, contribuam para o alcance dessas metas.

Esta dissertação reflete sobre as possibilidades da escola no cumprimento das determinações da atual Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB) nº 9394/96, que a reconhece como núcleo gestor responsável pelo seu próprio projeto político-pedagógico. Problematiza em que medida essa prática escolar tem influenciado os resultados obtidos pelas escolas públicas e viabilizado, localmente, a implementação das políticas educacionais desenvolvidas no âmbito dos sistemas de ensino. Caracteriza as concepções estruturantes sobre projeto político-pedagógico por meio de uma análise bibliográfica, discutindo o alcance que tais teorizações têm alcançado no cotidiano escolar. Apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa, realizada junto a uma rede pública de ensino, apontando potenciais evidências da crise de sentido e de método que tal prática revela. Recupera ainda o processo histórico que marcou a tramitação da atual LDB, demonstrando que a referida crise deve ser entendida primeiro como crise congênita, herdada da própria lei que a concebeu. No contexto do sistema educacional, essa crise também é caracterizada ao reunir elementoschaves presentes no pensamento pedagógico contemporâneo, que exploram o conceito de sistema e a sua relação com a unidade escolar. Finaliza a pesquisa problematizando princípios fundamentais para se pensar o projeto políticopedagógico na perspectiva do movimento da educação cidadã, com vista à superação da crise de sentido e de método que essa prática escolar tem demonstrado. / This paper reflects on the possibilities of the school in compliance of the determinations of the current Law of Directives and Bases of National Education (LDB) nº 9394/96, which recognizes it as the core manager responsible for its own political and pedagogical project. It questions the extent to which this educational practice has influenced the results obtained by the public schools and facilitated, locally, the implementation of educational policies developed within the education systems. It characterizes the structural concepts of political and pedagogical project through a literature review, discussing the scope that these theories have reached in the school day. Presents the results of a survey, carried out with a public school system, pointing out potential evidences of the crisis of meaning and method that this practice reveals. Recovers even the historical process that marked the course of the current LDB, demonstrating that the crisis must be understood first as a crisis congenital, inherited from the law that has conceived it. In the context of the educational system, this crisis is also characterized by bringing together key elements present in contemporary pedagogical thinking, exploring the system concept and its relationship with the school unit. Ends the research questioning the fundamental principles for thinking about the political and pedagogical project in view of the civil and educational movement, with a view to overcoming the crisis of meaning and method of the educational practice has shown.

The study focuses on the following objectives: describe the process of preparing SMEs and investigate the limits and possibilities of actions of municipalities in the construction of their educational documents. The aim of this study was to understand the contradictions emanating from a process based on democratic principles that, paradoxically, develop mechanisms to control the action of the subjects in the definition of predetermined goals. In this sense, the work is structured in the construction of data relevant to the understanding of the subject, in the collection and analysis of data that make possible the understanding of the process of elaboration of the municipal plans, considering the diverse forms of mobilization, the proposals elaborated and the decision-making processes. This research was based on a so-called meso-analytic approach, whose intention is to direct the focus of the study to the action of the subjects within the systems, in order to understand the strategies created by them and used in the materialization of municipal educational policies. For that, a qualitative study was carried out in two municipalities of medium and small size in a region of the interior of São Paulo. The research data were obtained through documental and bibliographic analysis, partially structured interviews and questionnaires applied to the SME commission of the municipalities investigated. Concerning the elaboration of the municipal education documents, it is perceived that, in a course guided by bureaucratic principles, there was a "normative infidelity" regarding the organicity of educational policy. Although the process was guided by social participation, the speed in the development of SMEs and the alleged autonomy delegated to municipalities weakened the democratic principle of education. / A pesquisa objetiva analisar o impacto do novo Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE– 2014-2024) na gestão municipal, com foco na elaboração dos Planos Municipais de Educação (PME) de dois municípios pertencentes à União Nacional dos Dirigentes Municipais de Educação (UNDIME) de uma região do interior do estado de São Paulo. O estudo concentra-se no alcance dos seguintes objetivos: descrever o processo de elaboração dos PMEs e averiguar os limites e as possibilidades de ações dos municípios na construção de seus documentos educacionais. As questões orientadoras da pesquisa perpassam o interesse em compreender a materialização dos PMEs. Seu intento foi apreender as contradições emanadas de um processo pautado em princípios democráticos que, paradoxalmente, desenvolve mecanismos de controle da ação dos sujeitos na definição de metas predeterminadas. Nesse sentido, o trabalho estrutura-se na construção de dados relevantes para a compreensão do tema, no levantamento e na análise de dados que possibilitam o entendimento do processo de elaboração dos planos municipais, considerando as diversas formas de mobilização, as propostas elaboradas e os processos de tomada de decisão. Esta pesquisa pautou-se em uma abordagem denominada mesoanalítica, cuja intenção é direcionar o foco do estudo para a ação dos sujeitos no interior dos sistemas, visando compreender as estratégias por eles criadas e utilizadas na materialização das políticas educacionais municipais. Para isso, realizou-se um minucioso estudo qualitativo em dois municípios de médio e pequeno porte de uma região do interior paulista. Os dados da pesquisa foram obtidos por meio de análise documental e bibliográfica, entrevistas parcialmente estruturadas e questionários aplicados à comissão elaboradora dos PME dos municípios investigados. A respeito da elaboração dos documentos municipais de educação, percebe-se que, em um curso norteado por princípios burocráticos, houve uma “infidelidade normativa” quanto à organicidade da política educacional. Embora o processo tenha sido guiado pela participação social, a celeridade no desenvolvimento dos PMEs e a pretensa autonomia delegada aos municípios fragilizaram o princípio democrático da educação.

[pt] Esta pesquisa é uma análise das principais disputas sobre a educação escolar no campo da educação no Brasil após a promulgação da Constituição de 1988. O objetivo foi mapear os atores que atuam no campo educacional, com intuito de identificar não somente as suas agendas, mas ressaltar a diversidade e as disputas que permeiam esse cenário. Apoiando-se no conceito de campo de Pierre Bourdieu, o arcabouço teórico se fundamentou na aplicabilidade do conceito para o campo da educação no Brasil. Para além dos processos anteriores, como a promulgação da Constituição de 1988, a aprovação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases de 1996 e o Plano Nacional da Educação (PNE) 2001-2010, o método utilizado teve como base a análise do discurso dos diferentes atores durante o processo de aprovação do PNE 2014-2014, momento chave para compreender os debates e as principais metas para a educação na próxima década. Por fim, esta pesquisa é um esforço no sentido de compreender como a educação escolar vem sendo disputada por atores dos mais diferentes lugares - tanto do setor privado quanto do setor público - e como essas relações têm se complexificado nos últimos anos. / [en] This research is a review of the main education disputes in the field of education in Brazil after the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution. The objective was to map the actors which participate in the field and what are their agenda, in order to analyze the disputes in which they are involved and how the field has been diversifying. The theoretical framework is based in the concept of field of Pierre Bourdieu, that is why the work has a detail analysis about the concepts of this author and its applicability in the Brazilian education field. The chosen method was to notice the speech of the different actors during the approval process of the National Education Plan 2014-2024, because it was the moment when these actors met themselves for discuss the education goals valid for the next ten years and for its news. To understand the actors and the places from where they speak, it was chosen to a study the history of the earlier cases, like the Promulgation of the 1988 Constitution, the approval of the 1996 Law Guidelines and Bases and the National Plan of Education 2001-2010. The second objective of this work was to understand the disputes about scholar education. Lastly, this research tries to understand how the scholar education are disputed between the different actors from different places, from the public and the private sector, and how these relations have become more complex at the last years.

This history which spans the period 1836 -1995, gives a picture of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zimbabwe which evolved from the missionary endeavour of the mother church in South Africa into an independent autonomous church. It is a story of Dutch (Afrikaner) piety in which the most important components are evangelisation, education and language, the whole of which was, and is still, influenced by the evangelical piety of Andrew Murray. With regard to the education of their children, the Dutch Reformed members believed that Christian education in the mother tongue was the ideal. This world view, together with the Protestant principle, that people should read and interpret Scripture for themselves, resulted in the establishment of three churches in Zimbabwe. Firstly, the Dutch Reformed Church (Synod of Central Africa), that ministers to the Afrikaans and English members of all races. Secondly, the Reformed Church of Zimbabwe that ministers to the Shona people, and thirdly the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (Synod Malawi) that ministers to the migrant workers from Malawi. Of the three components in Dutch piety, evangelisation is regarded by the members as the most important in their missionary endeavour. This is the search for a contextual identity and illustrates how the Afrikaners in Zimbabwe experienced the reality of God in their lives. It is also a description of the interaction of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zimbabwe with the society in which it found itself. This interaction is observed to be of four types, namely, public witness, social upliftment and empowerment, the increase of social strength and the establishment of the community. / Church History

This study entails a critical investigation into the issue and trends that shaped Black perspectives on education in South Africa in the period between 1652 and 1993. A theoretical-philosophical exposition is presented to establish the fundamental characteristics of education and therefore characteristics valid for every human being under any circumstances at any time. These characteristics were used to eventually appraise the issues and trends underlying the shaping of Black perspectives on education in South Africa. This study has revealed that the shaping of Black perspectives on education in South Africa goes hand in hand with the growing realization among Blacks that education is not merely a political issue but also deeply imbedded in the interconnectedness and/or differences between social realities such as the church, the school itself, teachers' associations, the news media et cetera. This should be accounted for by every citizen in a responsible way. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (History of Education)

Strengthening civil society participation in development is a prerequisite to enhance access to opportunities and political influence by the poor. An active civil society can improve development accountability. In fact, Africa cannot improve its governance without investing in the role of civil society. This study examines the problem of resource mobilization for NECs in four Africa countries; assessing factors and strategies, which influence their ability to mobilize resources. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods, the study found that effective NECs exist in all four countries. The success of these NECs depended on “being strategic” about resource mobilization. The lack of resources mobilization strategies was a key factor in all four NECs. This often meant lack of proactiveness in resource mobilization. In its recommendations, the study presents a model aimed to encourage CSOs to organize and manage resource mobilization in ways that generate income for today, tomorrow and the future in order to sustain their watchdog role in educational development process. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / Includes bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation is a conceptual analysis of “institutional culture” in higher education, especially because the concept has become a buzzword in higher education discourse in South Africa. The aim is to develop an understanding of the concept, and more specifically, to explore how institutional culture is organised, constructed and articulated in the institutional documents of Stellenbosch University (SU) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC). These analyses are preceded by an analysis of higher education policy documents. I employ critical hermeneutics as research methodology to construct constitutive meanings of “institutional culture”. Since it is difficult to work with a large set of constitutive meanings, I narrowed the list down to the four most frequently recurring meanings, namely: shared values and beliefs; language; symbols; and knowledge production. These constitutive meanings form the theoretical framework which is used to analyse institutional documents. My findings suggest that all the constitutive meanings of my theoretical framework are addressed in the institutional documents of both SU and UWC, which means that the institutional documents conform to my theoretical framework. SU has, in my opinion, an excellent and comprehensive base of well-prepared and compiled institutional documents. However, most of these documents seem to relate to quality and compliance to national policy requirements, with no significant actions or strategies to address the challenges related to transforming the University’s institutional culture. Even though SU has shown commendable strategic initiatives to transform its institutional culture, there has not been sufficient engagement with the challenges of transformation. Similarly, for UWC, it is my contention that even though UWC is committed to transformation and nurturing a culture of change in order to make meaning of and address the complex challenges of the world, there needs to be more rigorous engagement in shaping and managing strategic direction and planning to ensure an institutional culture to accommodate change. Even though the institutional documents analysed mostly conform to the constitutive meanings of the theoretical framework, what of concern is the lack of an adequate articulation of the concept “institutional culture”. If there is no articulation, it follows that there is an inadequate understanding of the concept. A deeper understanding is crucial if the important link between transformation and “institutional culture” is to be realised. I contend that there exists a disjunction between “institutional culture” and transformation policies. One of the reasons for this disjunction is an impoverished understanding among higher education policy practitioners of the concept “institutional culture”, which creates an impression of compliance with national policy requirements. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verhandeling behels ’n konseptuele ontleding van “institusionele kultuur” in hoër onderwys, vernaamlik omdat die konsep ’n modewoord in die diskoers in hoër onderwys in Suid-Afrika geword het. Die doel was om begrip van die konsep te ontwikkel, en meer spesifiek om te ondersoek hoe institusionele kultuur in die institusionele dokumente van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch (US) en die Universiteit van die Wes-Kaap (UWK) georganiseer, saamgestel en geartikuleer word. Hierdie ondersoeke word voorafgegaan deur ‘n analise van hoër onderwys beleidsdokumente. Kritiese hermeneutiek is as navorsingsmetodologie gebruik om die konstitutiewe betekenisse van ‘institusionele kultuur’ te bepaal. Aangesien dit moeilik is om met ’n groot stel konstitutiewe betekenisse te werk, is die lys tot die vier mees herhalende betekenisse beperk, naamlik gedeelde waardes en oortuigings; taal; simbole; en die voortbring van kennis. Hierdie konstitutiewe betekenisse het die teoretiese raamwerk gevorm vir die ontleding van die institusionele dokumente. My bevindinge doen aan die hand dat al die konstitutiewe betekenisse van die teoretiese raamwerk in die institusionele dokumente van sowel die US as UWK aan bod kom, wat beteken dat die institusionele dokumente met die teoretiese raamwerk ooreenstem. Na my mening het die US ’n uitstekende en omvattende basis goed voorbereide en saamgestelde institusionele dokumente. Die meeste van hierdie dokumente blyk egter met gehalte en nakoming van nasionale beleidsvereistes verband te hou, met geen beduidende handelinge of strategieë om die uitdagings aan te pak wat met die transformasie van die US se institusionele kultuur verband hou nie. Alhoewel die US lofwaardige strategiese inisiatiewe aanwend om sy institusionele kultuur te transformeer, blyk daar nie ’n genoegsame verbintenis te wees om die uitdagings van transformasie die hoof gebied nie. Eweneens, wat UWK betref, is my argument dat alhoewel UWK verbind is tot transformasie en die kweek van ’n kultuur van verandering ten einde sin te maak van die komplekse veranderinge van die wêreld en sodanige veranderinge aan te pak, ’n meer nougesette verbintenis nodig is rakende die ontwikkeling en bestuur van strategiese leiding en beplanning ten einde ’n kultuur wat verandering tegemoet kom, te verseker. Alhoewel die institusionele dokumente wat ontleed is hoofsaaklik met die konstitutiewe betekenisse van die teoretiese raamwerk ooreenstem, is die gebrek aan voldoende artikulasie van die konsep “institusionele kultuur” rede tot kommer. Die gebrek aan artikulasie lei tot onvoldoende begrip van die konsep. ’n Grondiger begrip is noodsaaklik ten einde die belangrike skakel tussen transformasie en “institusionele kultuur” te verwesenlik. My gevolgtrekking is dat daar skeiding tussen” institusionele kultuur” en transformasiebeleide is. Een van die redes vir sogenaamde skeiding is gebrekkige begrip van die konsep “institusionele kultuur” onder hoër onderwys beleidsrolspelers, wat die idee skep van nakoming van nasionale beleidsvereistes. / Andrew Mellon Foundation

I write about the life story of Jan Uher (1891-1942), his pedagogic influence and his pedagogic heritage in my thesis. In the biographic part I describe the background of Jan Uher's childhood, the era of his secondary and University studies, the beginning of his career as a teacher and his activities in different social organizations (e.g. Sokol, YMCA,...). I also mention his travels abroad and other employments at Universities of Prague, Brno and Bratislava. And I can't leave out his engagement in fighting against the Nazism. In the second part of my thesis I focus on Jan Uher's pedagogic heritage. I describe the situation of the Czechoslovakian education in the years of "the first republic" and the reformative efforts of its educators' generation, especially Jan Uher's concepts. I also supply the list of his work published up to 1942 and introduce his pieces: The problems of discipline, The principles of American education, Secondary student and his world and The philosophy of national education.
