Criado a partir do trabalho colaborativo de grupos de pessoas, o ciberespaço expressa vocação para abrigar incontáveis agrupamentos, diversos e distintos como a natureza humana. Parte desses agrupamentos tem recebido o nome de redes de aprendizagem online e comunidades virtuais de aprendizagem. Uma vez que a aprendizagem é intrínseca ao homem, em variados tempos, lugares e situações, todos os agrupamentos do ciberespaço podem proporcionar aprendizagens. Mas o fato de que há aspectos em comum na diversidade não retiraria a necessidade de estabelecer diferenças entre os agrupamentos porque não se deve confundir multiplicidade com indistinção. Nesse sentido, esta investigação buscou identificar elementos que podem distinguir as redes e comunidades virtuais de aprendizagem dos demais agrupamentos do ciberespaço. A partir da compreensão de que as palavras são signos ideológicos e que seu emprego formata a realidade (BAKHTIN, 1981), verificamos que também há distinção entre redes de aprendizagem online e comunidades virtuais de aprendizagem. A reflexão proporcionou ainda mapearmos indicadores de formação de comunidades virtuais em situação de aprendizagem. Para levantar os elementos mencionados, realizamos revisão bibliográfica e examinamos três agrupamentos do ciberespaço, apontados neste trabalho como uma rede social, uma rede de aprendizagem online e uma comunidade virtual de aprendizagem. Mais do que apresentar uma sugestão quanto ao emprego dessas expressões, esta dissertação costura uma série de reflexões sobre rede e intencionalidade educativa, certos de que rede é a metáfora mais fundamental para a Educação do século XXI. / Elaborated from co-operated work by groups of people, the cyberspace expresses the vocation to shelter countless groupings, several and different as the human nature. Some of these groupings have been receiving the name of online learning networks and virtual learning communities.

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) lag behind predominantly White institutions in their production of online courses and degree programs because of nonexistent or inadequate technology training for faculty members and limited financial resources. The purpose of this qualitative comparative case study was to obtain insight into how decisions are made on technology deployment and integration of online programs at HBCUs. Guided by Donaldson's contingency theory, this case study addressed how decisions are determined at HBCUs to integrate online learning programs into the curriculum and how the individuals who make these decisions perceive online learning programs. Survey responses were collected from 16 administrators, chief information officers, and faculty department heads at 3 HBCUs. Frequency data from the surveys led to themes were confirmed by the analysis of interviews and campus documents. Emergent themes included the integration of online programs, interest in online learning, incentives/compensation and release time, mission and goal statements, strategic plans, and professional development. All 3 HBCUs have a process in place for measuring progress and updating strategic plans. Only 1 HBCU had incentives to encourage faculty or administrators to participate in technology deployment, although all 3 HBCUs offered professional development courses and seminars. Online learning was not included in any of the 3 HBCUs' mission and goal statements. Faculty interest in teaching online courses was high at 2 of the HBCUs. Among the implications of these findings for research and practice was the possibility of promoting positive social change through developing and applying improved strategies for technology deployment at HBCUs that might provide better services to students.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) began to audit Australian universities. At the same time, universities were increasingly using online technologies for teaching and learning. Little is known about how these two significant changes in teaching and learning might be acting and interacting at a time of increasing focus by universities on the educational marketplace. This thesis investigates the AUQA audits carried out in 2002 of three Australian universities which had different locations in the Australian higher education marketplace and had different approaches to the use of online technologies. I use Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse a range of artefacts produced between 2002 and 2005 by and about the universities. I analyse the first three editions of the AUQA manual, the universities' web sites before and after their audit, the submissions of those universities to AUQA, and the audit reports by AUQA on them. I explore the role that representations of the "online university" discourse play in constructions of a "quality university" discourse within these texts. I discovered a number of shifts in emphasis in the texts over time. Notions of the "online university", while prevalent in the texts produced early in the time frame of the study, were absent from later texts. Also, texts produced early in the study represented the three universities as very different institutions. However texts examined towards the end of the study represented the universities to be more similar in nature. Given the diverse nature of the institutions' market locations, I found that quality assurance processes work to reduce the representation of institutional diversity. There was evidence that the "online university" discourse came to be used more as a marketing tool and less as a marker of quality education over the time period of the study. I argue that AUQA's audits do not support institutions? various market positionings as described by Marginson and Considine (2000), but rather provide the imprimatur of "brand Australia" by producing representations of each institution that are safe and amenable to the audit process. The "online university" discourse speaks of new and borderless teaching strategies, while the "quality university" discourse speaks of containment and control of university activities. The bounding and limiting effect of the "quality university" discourse over the outward reaching "online university" discourse resulted in the three universities representing themselves in increasingly isomorphic ways. My analysis shows that over the time frame of the study, the surveillance of a national quality audit body, through self-audit by universities and the subsequent publication of reviews of universities by that body, produced more cautious representations of the universities and ironically, less direct influence by the audit body over universities? actions in the marketplace. The study suggests that the degree of influence which the ?online university? discourse and the "quality university" discourse have on the representations of universities is dependent largely on the degree to which they can impel universities within the market. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2007

Thematics such as teachers formation and distance education were examined, more specifically the online education , for considering the distance education strategy, linked to information and communication technologies (ICT), a way to conceive new opportunities for the professional development, viewing school as the formation process center references were form Shulman, 1986, 1987; Pérez Gómez, 1989; Zeichner, 1993, 2008; Knowles and Cole, 1995; Tardif, 2000, 2002; Prado and Valente, 2002; Almeida, 2003, 2005; Mizukami et al, 2003; Moran, 2003; Vaillant, 2003; Schlemmer, 2005; Vaillant and Marcelo, 2006; Hunt, 2008. The methodology used was based on the constructive collaborative pattern of research-intervention, [Cole and Knowles, 1993; Mizukami et al, 2003] linked to qualitative research theoretical matrix [Bogdan and Bicklen, 1994; Lüdke and André, 1986]. The intervention research was characterized by an online professional development Program, in the digital learning environment of the UFSCar Teachers Portal, with the participation of sixteen formers working with basic education and two researches acting as the Program mediators. The analyses were draw out from the formers reports in varied activities, such as debates occurred throughout the formative processes, private messages (mail) and testimonies that produced the formers reflexive memorial at the end of the Program. The results try to clear up aspects related to the work configuration during time spent in the learning digital situation, indicating different moments by which formers passed by in this professional development process and through the building-up of confidence relation ships, when doubts, anguishes, fears, certitudes and convictions that orientate their practices start to be explicit collectively, offering the opportunity of thinking in and about the practice from a sharing glance, allowing then the no-knowing explicit and the possibility of negotiating and explicit senses to become a former in basic education. Such dynamics happened because of the researchers continuous presence, which helped to approximate formers and to create affective bonds, which assume in the digital context a more complex dimension, related to subjective questions, due to thought expression and communication based on writing. Besides, results showed traces of how the formers knowledge changed during the process, from the concepts they have about their profession and the meaning of being a former, and relationships set up with the school partners, the theoretical discussions about how to teach teachers to teach, the possibilities of keeping on learning despite the adversities of their profession and the function/charge they occupy. Therein, it is possible to understand this researchintervention as an investigation that passes through the formation universe of online education and professional practice, that bring together results that amplify the debate about how elaborate continued formation processes in apprenticeship digital contexts, having the school as its center. In placing the basic education formers as the focus of the study, this research also came across results that enlarge the rare existing reflections about teachers formers, mainly because are being focused the basic education professionals, which also offer outpoints for debates and new researches interested in increasing knowledge in this promising investigative front. / Esta pesquisa procura compreender as contribuições de um programa de formação continuada online para o desenvolvimento profissional de formadores em exercício na educação básica, sustentada pelo referencial teórico-metodológico da epistemologia da prática profissional e da educação a distância. Articularam-se as temáticas formação de professores e educação a distância , mais especificamente, educação online , considerando que a modalidade a distância, vinculada às tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), torna-se um caminho para a concepção de novas oportunidades de desenvolvimento profissional considerando a escola como centro dos processos formativos. Foram tomados como referência Shulman, 1986 e 1987; Pérez Gómez, 1989; Zeichner, 1993 e 2008; Knowles e Cole, 1995; Tardif, 2000 e 2002; Prado e Valente, 2002; Almeida, 2003 e 2005; Mizukami et al, 2003, Moran, 2003; Vaillant, 2003; Schlemmer, 2005; Vaillant e Marcelo, 2006; Hunt, 2008. A metodologia adotada para o desenvolvimento desta investigação pauta-se no modelo construtivo-colaborativo de pesquisa-intervenção (Cole e Knowles, 1993; Mizukami et al, 2003), que está vinculado à matriz teórica da pesquisa qualitativa (Bogdan e Bicklen, 1994; Lüdke e André, 1986). A intervenção da pesquisa caracterizou-se pela realização de um programa de desenvolvimento profissional online, no ambiente digital de aprendizagem do Portal dos Professores da UFSCar, no qual participaram dezesseis formadores em exercício na educação básica e duas pesquisadoras como mediadoras do programa. Para as análises, partiu-se das narrativas dos formadores em atividades diversas, de fóruns de discussões desencadeados ao longo do processo de formação, mensagens particulares (correio), bem como os depoimentos que compuseram o memorial reflexivo elaborado ao término do programa pelos formadores. Os resultados procuram elucidar aspectos relacionados à configuração do trabalho ao longo do tempo no ambiente digital de aprendizagem, indicando diferentes momentos vividos pelos formadores nesse processo de desenvolvimento profissional e pela construção de relações de confiança no qual as dúvidas, angústias, medos, certezas e convicções que orientam suas práticas são explicitados no coletivo, oferecendo a oportunidade de reflexão na e sobre a prática a partir de um olhar compartilhado, permitindo assim a explicitação do não-saber e a possibilidade de negociar e construir sentidos acerca de como tornar-se formador na educação básica. Tal dinâmica se deu devido à presença contínua das pesquisadoras, que permitiu aproximar os formadores e criar vínculos afetivos, o que no contexto digital assume uma dimensão ainda mais complexa, em relação às questões subjetivas, devido à expressão do pensamento e à comunicação baseada na escrita. Além disso, os resultados evidenciaram indícios de como os saberes dos formadores foram se alterando ao longo do tempo, a partir dos conhecimentos que têm sobre a profissão, sobre o significado de ser formador, das relações que se estabelecem com os pares na escola, com as discussões teóricas sobre como ensinar professores a ensinar, com as possibilidades de continuar aprendendo apesar das adversidades da profissão e da função/cargo que ocupam. Neste sentido, é possível compreender esta pesquisaintervenção como uma investigação que transita no universo da formação na educação online e da prática profissional, e que congrega resultados que ampliam a discussão sobre como elaborar processos de formação continuada em ambientes digitais de aprendizagem tendo a escola como centro do processo. Ao colocar os formadores da educação básica como foco do estudo, esta pesquisa também se deparou com resultados que ampliam as escassas reflexões existentes sobre formadores de professores, principalmente por se tratar de profissionais da educação básica e oferecem indicadores para discussões e novas pesquisas interessadas em ampliar conhecimentos nessa promissora linha de investigação.

Facilitation of learning through the use of tutors is a worldwide approach that is supported by most Open and Distance Learning institutions. This approach was expanded by integrating face-to-face mode of delivery and online delivery with the purpose of increasing access and participation of students at Unisa. However, the practicality of this integration cannot be overlooked and this reality led to this study. Given the background, this dissertation presents a study on tutors’ perceptions of effective facilitation through the use of an integrated tutor model (ITM) in an Open Distance Learning (ODL) environment. This study sought to explore the views of Unisa tutors focusing on the success factors, challenges and the impact this model has on tutors’ behaviour in terms of tutorial delivery in the implementation of the integrated tutor model in tutorial classes. This was done with an aim of expanding access and participation. A qualitative research method was conducted with Unisa Gauteng Region tutors. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The findings of the study showed that the level of academic staff involvement in the tutorial program is very low and there was no involvement at all in other colleges. The training and development provided to ODL tutors is highly appreciated by tutors, however, it needs to be intensified to yield the desired outcomes. Findings further revealed that the institution needs to attend to the provision of access to students. Based on these findings, recommendations were made that academic staff members need to increase their level of involvement in the tutorial program in order to support tutors who provide support to students. Practical training of tutors on the use of technology is necessary and the institution must increase access to computers and the internet for students. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.

Given this scenario, we attempt to understand how students create their online identities, as we believe that emphasizing these identities encourages the discussion debate of diversity, with the objective of discussing the individuality of the participating students, a topic not given due consideration in the curriculum. Other aspects of teaching are also emphasized, besides the/those traditional ones relating to techniques and methods, as questions relating to identity are affected by problems of power and ideology which comprise human relationships a micro and macro social level. Research was conducted during the second semester of 2007 as part of a course given the college of education, at the Federal University of Ceará. Was observed that the identities of the online students consisted of personal and professional information specifically selected and presented by the same, as well as an expression of values and attitudes such as the search for interaction, a willingness to listen to others, isolation, aggressiveness, empathy, etc. The selection information, as well as the attitudes and values are expressed predominantly, in whiting. Nevertheless, the online identities are directly influenced by the social environment, which, in this case, is basically similar to the institutional identity found in traditional education. Of the aforementioned categories (educational strategies, interaction, language, and learning environment), among the participants as being of fundamental importance in the development of their online identities. Nevertheless, we cannot disregard the other categories, as theses complement and blend into the educational dynamics. This is due to the understanding that identities exist only because they are different. / A interação proporcionada pelas tecnologias digitais permitiu o desenvolvimento de novas práticas educativas proporcionando o encontro entre os sujeitos e não somente a entrega de materiais didáticos auto-instrucionais. Nesse cenário, buscamos compreender como são construídas as identidades dos alunos que utilizaram a educação virtual para sua formação, pois entendemos que problematizar as questões de identidade nesse âmbito é trazer para o ato educativo a discussão da diversidade. Significa trazer discussões sobre identidade e diferença que envolve as histórias dos sujeitos que estão no centro da formação, mas não são consideradas ou valorizadas abertamente. Significa também politizar as práticas pedagógicas que durante muito tempo foram vistas somente como técnicas e métodos de ensino, pois as questões de identidade estão envolvidas pela problemática de poder e de ideologia que abrangem as relações humanas em nível micro e macro social. A experiência da presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida durante o semestre 2007.2 numa disciplina ocorrida no curso de Pedagogia na Universidade Federal do Ceará. Percebemos que as identidades na educação virtual são forjadas e construídas pelos sujeitos através da seleção de informações que são intencionalmente apresentadas, por exemplo, pessoais, profissionais, interesses diversos e pela expressão de valores e atitudes, tais como busca de interação, abertura ao diálogo, isolamento, agressividade, empatia, entre outras. Tanto as informações selecionadas quanto as atitude e valores são expressas, predominantemente, por meio da linguagem escrita. Entretanto, essa construção recebe a influência direta do meio social em que está inserida, que no caso da educação virtual, alunos possuem uma identidade institucional não se diferenciando fundamentalmente da educação presencial. Dentre os elementos que elencamos anteriormente (estratégias pedagógicas, interação, linguagem e apropriação dos espaços) destacamos a interação entre os sujeitos como sendo o aspecto fundamental para a construção das identidades na educação virtual. No entanto, não podemos desconsiderar os outros elementos, pois estes complementam e se imbricam na dinâmica educativa. Isso se deve a compreensão de que a identidade somente pode existir com a sua outra metade formadora que é a diferença.

However achieving true practice of collaboration is still considered a challenge to be conquered, and in this context there is the need for continuing education of professionals working in the school area. Thus the aim of this research was to evaluate an on line collaborative consultation program in school for occupational therapists. Participants were seven occupational therapists and six teachers of students who are part of the target audience of Special Education. The Moodle platform was the virtual learning environment for the study. We used action research as a methodological design. We constructed several instruments to collect data specifically for the study, including: case studies, field diaries, reports on the practice; scripts for the focus groups, and program evaluation protocol. How standardized instrument was used only Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The study was conducted in three stages, namely: development, implementation and evaluation. It was based program development in assumptions Deweyan pragmatism and collaborative learning. The program developed here titled "COLABORA" was composed of a theoretical part and a practical in which participants had to perform a concrete experience of collaborative consultation. Data were analyzed qualitatively from thematic categories. The results showed participants' performance (before, during and after the program), the repertoire of knowledge built by the participants and the process of learning online. It was found that the COLABORA produced important changes both in discourse and in practice performed by occupational therapists in the school context. It is noteworthy that in three collaborative partnerships was conducted to identify possible positive impact on student performance from the partnership of professionals with the teacher. In the process of online learning strategies were fundamental to collaborative learning results from the tools of collective discussion and case studies that promoted the association of theoretical practical concepts. The collaborative consultation favored the in-service training of school professionals promoting both the empowerment of professionals as the target enrollment of students in Special Education classes of regular schools. / A consultoria colaborativa em Terapia Ocupacional tem sido considerada uma das mais promissoras práticas emergentes no campo na área educacional apoiada pelas políticas públicas internacionais. No entanto alcançar a verdadeira prática da colaboração ainda é considerado um desafio a ser conquistado, e nesse contexto destaca-se a necessidade de desenvolvimento profissional dos profissionais que atuam na área escolar. Assim o objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em desenvolver, implementar e avaliar um programa de ensino on-line em consultoria colaborativa na escola para terapeutas ocupacionais. Participaram da pesquisa sete terapeutas ocupacionais e seis professores de estudantes que fazem parte do público alvo da Educação Especial. A plataforma moodle foi o ambiente virtual de aprendizagem destinado à realização do estudo. Utilizou-se a pesquisa ação como delineamento metodológico. Foram construídos vários instrumentos de coleta dados especificamente para o estudo, dentre eles: estudos de caso; diários de campo; relatórios sobre a prática; roteiros para realização do grupo focal; e protocolo de avaliação do programa. Como instrumento padronizado utilizou-se apenas a Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional. O estudo foi desenvolvido em três etapas, a saber: desenvolvimento, implementação e avaliação do programa. Fundamentou-se a elaboração do programa nos pressupostos do pragmatismo Deweyano e na aprendizagem colaborativa. O programa desenvolvido, aqui intitulado COLABORA foi composto por uma parte teórica e outra prática na qual os terapeutas ocupacionais deveriam realizar uma experiência concreta de consultoria colaborativa. Os dados foram analisados qualitativamente a partir de categorias temáticas. Os resultados apresentaram o desempenho dos terapeutas ocupacionais (antes, durante e após o programa), o repertório de conhecimentos construídos pelos terapeutas ocupacionais e o processo de aprendizagem on line. Verificou-se que o COLABORA produziu modificações importantes tanto no discurso quanto na prática realizada pelos terapeutas ocupacionais no contexto escolar. Vale ressaltar que em três parcerias colaborativas realizadas foi possível identificar impacto positivo no desempenho dos alunos a partir da parceria dos profissionais com o professor. No processo de aprendizagem on line as estratégias fundamentais para os resultados foram a aprendizagem colaborativa a partir das ferramentas de discussão coletiva e os estudos de caso que promoveram a associação de conceitos teórico práticos. A consultoria colaborativa favoreceu a formação em serviço dos profissionais da escola promovendo tanto o empoderamento dos profissionais quanto a escolarização de estudantes alvo da Educação Especial nas classes comuns do ensino regular.

Após uma revisão de trabalhos que se dedicam a investigar as relações entre a docência e a tecnologia em suas múltiplas formas apresentamos uma série de redimensionamentos das ações docentes no contato com tecnologias digitais. Partindo dos quatro verbos fundamentais propostos por Nílson Machado como forma de caracterizar e expressar a natureza das ações docentes mapear, mediar, tecer e narrar discutimos o redimensionamento da docência no contato com aparatos tecnológicos em contextos permeados por tecnologias ou constituídos digitalmente a partir delas, sobretudo em modalidades de educação híbridas e online considerando, portanto, a Educação a Distância (EAD) de variadas formas. Em nossa tese buscamos, além de examinar e apresentar um conjunto de ações e estudos, oferecer subsídios e ideias que possam contribuir para a prática docente, na esperança de ampliar a compreensão das ações do professor no ciberespaço e das relações mediadas por dispositivos digitais examinando diferentes abordagens e formas possíveis de interação com os alunos no interior de uma comunidades de aprendizagem num paradigma ecossistêmico de educação online. / After a review of works devoted to understand the relationships between teaching and technology in its many forms we present a series of teachers\' actions redefined in contact with digital technologies. Based on four key verbs proposed by Nílson Machado as a way to characterize and express the nature of teaching practices mapping, mediating, weaving and storytelling we discourse about the new dimensions of teaching in contact with technology devices in contexts permeated or digitally made by technology, especially in hybrid and online education modalities therefore considering Distance Education (DE) in different perspectives. Besides an examination and after presents a set of researches and proposals, this work seeks to provide insights and ideas that can contribute to the teaching practices, hoping to broaden the understanding of the teacher\'s actions in cyberspace and about the relationships mediated by digital devices examining different forms and approaches of interacting with students inside a learning community in an ecosystem paradigm of online education.

La educación es uno de los rubros más importantes a nivel sectorial, es uno de los pilares principales en toda sociedad para el crecimiento y el avance de un país. Un país con mayores oportunidades de educación como promoción de esta será un país mucho más competitivo a nivel sectorial y global. La educación por años en el Perú ha sido más que un derecho un privilegio que por años se ha evidenciado en la educación pública como privada. En la actualidad en el Perú, existen cientos de comunidades que no cuentan con los medios necesarios para poder brindar clases adecuadas a los niños tanto de nivel primario como secundaria. Todo ello se vio afectado una vez llegada la pandemia que paro los procesos educativos y significo todo un reto poder implementar la educación online. Un reto que poco a poco escuelas han venido realizando esfuerzos por mejorar la calidad de enseñanza, tratando de no perder la figura real que poco a poco se va desvaneciendo. La realidad de la educación actual no es muy alentadora, el nivel de rendimiento de miles de estudiantes bajo significativamente con las clases virtuales no es de sorpresa ya que la poca inversión en el sector hace que se compliquen mucho más las decisiones del ministerio de educación. La educación ahora es un desafío y muchos escolares no terminan de entender sus clases, no mejoran su rendimiento y es muy bajo el nivel de satisfacción. Bajo este contexto, nuestra visión es de traer una nueva vista de la educación online, una mejorada donde la educación sea la protagonista. Nuestro proyecto busca marcar un hito a nivel nacional, uniendo estudiantes con otros estudiantes. Mediante nuestro proyecto se buscará brindar clases de refuerzo totalmente personalizadas a niños de primaria bajo la enseñanza de jóvenes universitarios capacitados en las diversas materias. Mediante este modelo de negocio ambas partes ganas y consigo también ganan nuevas oportunidades como experiencias de vida. Queremos posicionarnos como una propuesta de educación de calidad y excelencia. Nuestra iniciativa resultara con niños con un mejor aprovechamiento escolar, sino también con jóvenes que lideran una iniciativa en vías de construir un país con un mejor nivel de educación. Iniciativa que se busca lograr grandes resultados a largo plazo para continuar con nuestra propuesta a nivel nacional como también en nuestra próxima expansión. / Education is one of the most key areas at the sectoral level; it is one of the main pillars in any society for the growth and progress of a country. A country with greater opportunities for education as a promotion of this will be a much more competitive country at a sectorial and global level. For years, education in Peru has been more than a right, it has been a privilege that for years has been evidenced in both public and private education. Currently in Peru, there are hundreds of communities that do not have the necessary means to provide adequate classes to children at both primary and secondary level. All this was affected by the pandemic that stopped the educational processes and meant a challenge to implement online education. A challenge that little by little schools have been making efforts to improve the quality of teaching, trying not to lose the real figure that is gradually fading. The reality of the current education is not very encouraging, the level of performance of thousands of students significantly lower with virtual classes is not surprising since the low investment in the sector makes the decisions of the Ministry of Education much more complicated. Education is now a challenge and many schoolchildren do not understand their classes, do not improve their performance and the level of satisfaction is exceptionally low. Under this context, our vision is to bring a new view of online education, an improved one where education is the protagonist. Our project seeks to mark a milestone at a national level, uniting students with other students. Through our project we will seek to provide fully customized tutoring to elementary school children under the teaching of young university students trained in various subjects. Through this business model both parties win and gain new opportunities as life experiences. We want to position ourselves as a proposal for quality education and excellence. Our initiative will result in children with a better school performance, but also with young people who lead an initiative to build a country with a better level of education. This initiative seeks to achieve impressive results in the long term to continue with our proposal at a national level as well as in our next expansion. / Trabajo de investigación
