Construir no construído : três níveis de intervenção no campus Lo Contador

Castagna, Ana Cristina January 2018 (has links)
Este trabalho pretende analisar e compreender as práticas de intervenção em arquiteturas existentes localizadas em sítios que não necessariamente fazem parte do conjunto patrimonial tombado, mas que podem ser remodelados de acordo com as condições culturais e produtivas atuais. Na primeira parte, o trabalho analisará a metodologia de catalogação de intervenções, os “níveis de intervenção”, lançada por Francisco De Gracia. O objetivo é que, após o final da segunda parte, seja possível encontrar exemplares similares dentro de um estudo de caso. O estudo de caso, por sua vez, destina-se a traçar a história do campus Lo Contador, que ocupa a área de uma fazenda do século XVIII, localizada em Santiago/ Chile. O local é caracterizado por estar em constante transforamção desde sua aquisição pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Chile, em 1958, com a finalidade de abrigar alguns de seus institutos. Após listar as preexistências, que são os ícones fundamentais do campus, o trabalho apresentará uma análise das reformas, entremeadas com os novos edifícios implantados no sítio, assim como seus planos ordenadores de crescimento. Através da compreensão da historiografia do campus será possível avaliar a importância de suas estratégias de transformação para a preservação do patrimônio edificado e o crescimento do campus universitário. / The aim of this paper is to analyze and understand the methods of intervention on existing architecture located on sites that have not been designated as part of a protected heritage complex, but that are remodeled in accordance with modern cultural and productive criteria. The first part of the paper will analyze cataloguing methodology of interventions, the “levels of intervention,” introduced by Francisco De Gracia. The aim being, by the end of the second part, it will be possible to find similar examples in the case study. The case study, in turn, will chart the historicity of the Lo Contador campus, which occupies the area of an 18th century farm in Santiago, Chile. The location is characterized by being in a constant state of transformation since it was acquired by the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile with the intention of housing some of its institutes. After cataloguing the pre-existing buildings, which serve as the campus’ main icon, the paper presents an analysis of the remodels, interspersed with the new buildings that have been erected on the site, as well as the institution’s plans for future growth. By understanding the historicity of the campus, it will be possible to evaluate the importance of its transformation strategies for the preservation of its built heritage and the growth of the university campus.

Orientação espacial em desenho urbano tradicional e modernista : estudo em campi universitários da UFRGS

Mano, Cássia Morais January 2016 (has links)
Esta pesquisa investiga os impactos do desenho urbano tradicional e modernista na orientação espacial em campi universitários, a partir da avaliação de usuários que diferem quanto ao grau de familiaridade com tais espaços. O problema de pesquisa reside na reprodução de projetos urbanísticos que remetem à lógica espacial preconizada pelo urbanismo moderno, os quais tenderiam a dificultar a legibilidade urbana, afetando negativamente a navegação. Assim, o objetivo é realizar um estudo comparativo detalhado dos efeitos de atributos físico-espaciais que compõem tais desenhos urbanos quanto à orientação espacial de seus usuários, a fim de contribuir para um melhor entendimento dos impactos de tais configurações na experiência espacial. Para tanto, são selecionados dois campi da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), localizados em Porto Alegre- RS: O Campus Centro, que representa o desenho urbano tradicional, com variedade arquitetônica, cujos prédios tendem a estar dispostos junto ao perímetro dos quarteirões e apresentam os acessos principais voltados para as ruas; e o Campus do Vale com características do desenho urbano modernista, onde verifica-se o predomínio da repetição e uniformidade entre os prédios dispostos em amplas áreas verdes, cujos acessos principais tendem a estar desvinculados das ruas. Os métodos de coletas de dados fazem parte dos utilizados na área de estudos Ambiente e Comportamento, sistematizados por meio de levantamento de arquivo, levantamento físico, mapas cognitivos, identificação e descrição de percursos, questionários e entrevistas. A análise de dados é realizada através de testes estatísticos não-paramétricos e da Sintaxe Espacial. Os resultados desta investigação demonstram que, independentemente do campus, os atributos físico-espaciais que remetem ao desenho urbano modernista tendem a ser avaliados negativamente quanto à orientação espacial pelos alunos calouros e, inclusive, pelos técnicos administrativos da UFRGS. Ainda, atributos arquitetônicos dos prédios como a falta de clareza no destaque formal do acesso principal e a menor visibilidade do acesso principal a partir da rua tendem a dificultar a orientação espacial. Foi confirmado que a avaliação do nível de facilidade de orientação espacial é influenciada fortemente pelo grau de familiaridade com o espaço. Entretanto, verifica-se o predomínio dos atributos físico-espaciais sobre o grau de familiaridade quando avaliados os níveis de facilidade de descrever o percurso para acesso ao prédio. Por fim, espera-se que os dados obtidos possam contribuir para qualificar projetos urbanísticos, a fim de responder melhor às necessidades dos usuários quanto à orientação espacial no espaço urbano. / This research investigates the impact of traditional and modern urban design in wayfinding performance in university campuses, based on evaluations of users who differ in the degree of familiarity with such spaces. The research problem concerns the propagation of urban projects that replicate the spatial logic advocated by modern urbanism, which would tend to hinder urban legibility, negatively affecting navigation. The purpose is to realize a comparative study about the impact of physical-spatial attributes considering different urban designs for its users wayfinding performance, in order to contribute to a better understanding of the impacts of such settings in the spatial experience. Therefore, two campuses of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), located in Porto Alegre-RS were selected: The Campus Centro, which refers the traditional urban design with architectural variety, whose buildings tend to be arranged at the perimeter of blocks and feature the main entrance facing the street; and Campus do Vale with characteristics of modern urban design, where there is a predominance of repetition and uniformity among the buildings, usually arranged in large green areas, whose main accesses tend to be disconnected from the streets. Data gathering means are part of those used in the Environment and Behavior area field of study, including archival records, field surveys, cognitive maps, identification of paths and route description, questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis was carried out through non-parametric statistical tests and space syntax theory. The results of this research show that, regardless of the campus, the physical-spatial attributes related to modernist urban design tend to be evaluated negatively on the wayfinding for freshmen students and even by UFRGS employees. Still, architectural attributes of the buildings, such as the lack of clarity in the identification of the main access and the lower visibility of the main access from the street tend to impair wayfinding. It was confirmed that the evaluation of the wayfinding facility level is strongly influenced by the degree of familiarity with the space. However, there is a predominance of physical-spatial attributes over the degree of familiarity when assessed levels of ease of describing the way to access the building. Finally, it is expected that the results obtained may contribute to qualify urban projects in order to better respond to users’ needs of wayfinding in the urban space.

Social workers’ perceptions and experiences of fieldwork supervision in the Bachelor of Social Work degree

Poggenpoel, Leticia January 2018 (has links)
Magister Artium (Social Work) - MA(SW) / Generally, studies on social work supervision, in the university setting, has focused mainly on students’ experiences. Research on the experience of the supervisor, or agency, providing guidance is scant. This study argues that the narrow focus on students’ experiences is disproportionate, and marginalises all the other stakeholders involved in fieldwork education. In addition, the existing studies create blind spots for programme evaluation, as they are not holistic. This current study proposes a broader analysis. Global and national standards for social work training involve the theory and practice component of the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programme. The practice component requires students to conduct fieldwork training at social work organisations, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced social worker. International and local studies on the supervision of BSW students reveal that social workers often consider themselves to be underprepared to supervise students. In addition, social workers often lack post-qualifying training to undertake student supervision, specifically, which is further exacerbated by the dearth of policies, or legislation, stipulating post-qualifying training and experience for the supervision of BSW students. The purpose of this current study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of social workers, related to fieldwork supervision in the BSW degree, at a selected university in the Western Cape (WC), South Africa (SA). A qualitative research approach was used, as it is attentive to the personal experiences, from the insider’s perspective, and aims to understand multiple realities. This approach is relevant to the current study, as it focuses on exploring and describing the perceptions and experiences of the participants, which the qualitative method underscores. A case study design was utilised, as it is descriptive, and is an in-depth study of a single instance of a social phenomenon. The case, in this instance, is the BSW programme at a selected university. Purposive sampling was used, as the participants, who are most representative of the study, were selected in the sampling process. The sample for this study comprised of twenty four participants: 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted and 13 questionnaires were completed by registered social workers. The following data verification methods were used: http://etd.uwc.ac.za ii member checking (See Annexure J); triangulation; researcher reflexivity; peer debriefing and an on-going dialogue, regarding the researcher’s interpretations of the data, as this aided the accuracy of the findings. Coding was applied by the researcher to create categories within the data, and thematic analysis to further identify the emerging themes and sub-themes, which were subsequently funnelled. Typologies are interpreted and developed, and the data, finally presented. Four themes and sixteen sub-themes emerged from the data (See Chapter 4). The focus of theme four was on continuous professional development (CPD), which reiterates the importance of post-qualifying training of social workers who supervise BSW students, and the importance of this study. This study recommends CPD of all social workers who provide fieldwork supervision in the BSW programme. There is also a need for emotional support for students and essentially fieldwork supervision needs to be viewed as indispensable to academia. An implication of the lack of CPD could be detrimental to students and could lead to stagnation in the field of social work and ultimately affect the standard of the profession.

Degree Courses - Campus Macap? (IFAP), seeking to verify whether it contributes to the practice of teaching in vocational education. The research takes as reference the Degree courses in Computer Science and Chemistry offered by the institution, as well as official documents guiding them. Since 2008, with the creation of the Federal Institutes of Technology and the consequent expansion of the Federal Technological Education Network, offering these courses is part of the government policy expansion project for teacher training aimed at overcoming the deficit teachers, especially in the areas of natural sciences and mathematics, and in the field of Vocational Education. The methodological approach used the perspective of case study from a qualitative approach, which investigated students, teachers and educational managers operating in these courses. In order to reveal the object, it was decided to use the following methodological strategies: questionnaires application, carrying out semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents, such as: curriculum matrices of degree courses, pedagogical projects of the courses, official documents of the Federal Institute Amapa and the National Council of Education, as well as the documents and guidelines of the Department of Professional and Technological Education (SETEC / MEC). The results showed that the above courses have been designed in accordance with the legislation which provides for teacher training courses for Basic Education, respecting the minimum hours established for this purpose, distributed in three training centers covering theoretical and practical knowledge, highlighting both specific knowledge about the teaching - teaching. It should be noted that this workload distribution proved uneven, predominating more hours to the core of expertise in comparison to the core teaching knowledge - teaching, a situation which leads to instrumental and bacharelesco technical nature still very present in structuring degree courses in Brazil. As the main objective of this study, to verify that throughout the training process these courses present suggestions for possible teaching practice in vocational education, the survey revealed that, although there is expressly no discipline in the curriculum matrices that addresses the discussions on the Professional education as a teaching mode during the training course in the courses students have contact with the debates that address the specifics of the EP through any discussions at different times of training, both seen content in the classroom in the classroom and in stage stage supervised and projects and events organized by the institution. In the final considerations were presented proposals that enable improvements in teacher training offered in IFAP's degree courses, with reference to the locus where it takes place and preparing to operate in Professional Education. / O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar de forma cr?tica e reflexiva o processo de forma??o dos estudantes dos Cursos de Licenciatura do Instituto Federal do Amap? - Campus Macap? (IFAP), buscando verificar se o mesmo contribui para o exerc?cio do magist?rio na Educa??o Profissional (EP). A investiga??o toma como refer?ncia os cursos de Licenciatura em Inform?tica e em Qu?mica ofertados pela Institui??o, bem como os documentos norteadores oficiais dos mesmos. Desde o ano de 2008, com a cria??o dos Institutos Federais de Ci?ncia e Tecnologia e a consequente amplia??o da Rede Federal de Educa??o Tecnol?gica, a oferta desses cursos integra o projeto de expans?o da pol?tica governamental para forma??o de professores que visa ? supera??o do d?ficit de docentes, sobretudo nas ?reas das ci?ncias da natureza e matem?tica, e no campo da Educa??o Profissional. Na abordagem metodol?gica utilizou-se a perspectiva do estudo de caso a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, no qual se investigou alunos, professores e gestores pedag?gicos atuantes nos cursos. Com a finalidade de revelar o objeto, optou-se pela utiliza??o das seguintes estrat?gias metodol?gicas: aplica??o de question?rios, realiza??o de entrevistas semiestruturadas e an?lise de documentos, como: matrizes curriculares dos cursos de licenciatura, Projetos Pedag?gicos dos Cursos, documentos oficiais do Instituto Federal do Amap? e Conselho Nacional de Educa??o, bem como dos documentos e das orienta??es da Secretaria de Educa??o Profissional e Tecnol?gica (SETEC/MEC). Os resultados demonstraram que os citados cursos foram concebidos de acordo com a legisla??o que disp?e sobre os Cursos de forma??o de professores para Educa??o B?sica, respeitando a carga hor?ria m?nima estabelecida para tal, distribu?da em tr?s n?cleos formativos e contemplando conhecimentos te?ricos e pr?ticos, destacando-se tanto os conhecimentos espec?ficos quanto os did?ticos ? pedag?gicos. Ressalte-se que essa distribui??o de carga hor?ria mostrou-se desigual, predominando maior carga hor?ria para o n?cleo de conhecimentos espec?ficos em compara??o com o n?cleo de conhecimentos did?ticos ? pedag?gicos, situa??o que remete ao car?ter t?cnico instrumental e bacharelesco ainda muito presente na estrutura??o de cursos de licenciatura no Brasil. Quanto ao objetivo maior desse estudo, o de verificar se ao longo do processo de forma??o esses cursos apresentam contribui??es para uma poss?vel atua??o docente na Educa??o Profissional, a pesquisa revelou que, embora este n?o seja o principal foco de atua??o dos egressos, e para tanto n?o foi localizada expressamente nenhuma disciplina nas matrizes curriculares que aborde as discuss?es sobre a Educa??o Profissional como modalidade de ensino, durante a trajet?ria formativa nos cursos, os estudantes t?m contato com os debates que tratam das especificidades da EP, por meio de discuss?es eventuais em diferentes momentos da forma??o, tanto em conte?dos vistos em sala de aula quanto na etapa de est?gio supervisionado, em projetos e eventos promovidos pela Institui??o. Nas considera??es finais, apresentam-se propostas que viabilizam melhorias na forma??o docente ofertada nos cursos de licenciatura do IFAP, tendo como refer?ncia o l?cus onde a mesma se d? e a prepara??o para atua??o na Educa??o Profissional.

O apostolado de Ernesto de Souza Campos: modelos, projetos e espaços universitários (1900-1937) / The apostolate of Ernesto de Souza Campos : models, projects and university spaces (1900-1937

Maia, Ana Beatriz Feltran 20 October 2017 (has links)
A pesquisa tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar a trajetória intelectual de Ernesto de Souza Campos, engenheiro, professor catedrático da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo e especialista em ensino superior, entre 1900 e 1937. Esse período compreendeu suas formações acadêmicas, a inserção profissional nos campos da engenharia, medicina e arquitetura, viagens ao exterior e aproximação com a filantropia científica da Fundação Rockefeller, tanto quanto os primeiros trabalhos como especialista em projeção de estruturas e espaços universitários e o desenvolvimento do apostolado pela universidade, engajamento intelectual pela causa da educação superior como local de pesquisa científica, no momento de criação das primeiras universidades e cidades universitárias brasileiras, especificamente a Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e a Universidade do Brasil (UB). Como base teórico-metodológica, partimos da noção de intelectual de Bobbio (1997) e Vieira (2011), de campo científico de Bourdieu (2004) e das noções de apropriação e representação de Chartier (2002), que filiam nosso trabalho à História dos Intelectuais e à História Cultural. Por meio da investigação, podemos afirmar que Ernesto de Souza Campos foi personagem relevante no processo de construção do prédio da Faculdade de Medicina e na campanha pela universidade ocorrida a partir de meados da década de 1920, assim como na criação dos projetos universitários daUSPedaUBnadécadade1930,tantoemseuaspectoespiritual,ouseja,da concepção de universidade, quanto em seu aspecto material, nos planos das cidades universitárias. Mediante seu apostolado, Souza Campos contribuiu para a apropriação de aspectos do modelo universitário norte-americano durante os primeiros anos da Faculdade de Medicina, USP e UB, compondo o que nomeou como conceito brasileiro de universidade. / The research aims to present and analyze the intellectual trajectory of Ernesto de Souza Campos, an engineer, professor at School of Medicine of the University of Sao Paulo and specialist in higher education, between 1900 and 1937. This period comprised his academic formations, professional insertion in the fields of engineering, medicine and architecture, travelings abroad and approach to the scientific philanthropy of the Rockefeller Foundation,as well as his first works like a specialist in the projection of structures and university spaces and the development of the \"apostolate\" by the university, intellectual engagement for the cause of higher education as a place of scientific research, at the time of the creation of the first universities and Brazilian campus, specifically the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and the UniversityofBrazil(UB).Asatheoretical-methodologicalbasis,wehaveusedBobbio\'s(1997) and Vieiras (2011) intellectual notion, Bourdieu\'s (2004) scientific field concept andChartier\'s (2002) notions of appropriation and representation, which link our work to the History of Intellectuals and Cultural History. Through the investigation, we can affirm that Ernesto de Souza Campos was a relevant character for the construction of the School ofMedicineandfor the university campaign that began in the mid-1920s, aswellasinthecreationoftheuniversity projects of USP and UB in the 1930s, both in their \"spiritual\" aspect, thatis,oftheconception of university, and in its material aspect, in the plans of university campus. Through his \"apostolate\", Souza Campos contributed to the appropriation of aspects of the American university model during the first years of the School of Medicine, USP and UB, composing what he named as the Brazilian concept of university.

Effectiveness of an Educational Intervention on the Intimate Partner Violence Screening Behaviors of College-Based Health Care Providers

Hill, Sarah K 01 August 2016 (has links)
Over one million women in the United States are physically, sexually, or emotionally abused by a partner or former partner every year. Women between the ages of 18 and 34 are the most likely to experience intimate partner violence (IPV), with prevalence rates for that group double the overall national average. Although the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended universal screening for all women of child-bearing age, compliance with this recommendation remains low. The present study examined the effectiveness of an asynchronous educational intervention to increase perceived knowledge, actual knowledge, and screening behaviors among 44 college-based health care providers. Data were collected using the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS). Results indicated that participation in the educational intervention did not have a significant effect on provider knowledge or screening behaviors. A positive trend was observed for perceived knowledge and knowledge regardless of treatment condition, but not for screening behaviors. The lack of significant findings may have been related to insufficient sample size and low power. Recruitment was challenging, despite multiple strategies and the offer of one free continuing education credit for all participants. Future research should explore how college health care providers prefer to engage in clinically informed research and whether IPV screening is viewed as an important clinical practice.
