No. of bitstreams: 1 Kellwin Augusto Leray de Lima.pdf: 5531528 bytes, checksum: c505f4df4caba3da910ca11a6e28ba19 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-16 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The theme about the paths taken by higher education and the subjects that inhabit it, arouses debates around the world involving, among other issues, pedagogical and management projects. The present research aims to: analyze the performance of large educational groups in Private Higher Education and its repercussions and impacts on Brazilian education. The main focus of the study is the historical privatization of this level of education and the current trend of private initiative in the formation of oligopolies, which control dozens of private higher education institutions (IESP), which has repercussions on the organizational reality of the process enrollment and academic training. These groups often use the force of their financial capital to interfere in legal norms of different natures. It should be noted that, as a result of the institutional purchase or merger process, the dynamics of the educational services offered are modified at the level of management and curricular proposals. In this context characterized by the presence of educational companies, one can observe the exponential expansion of vacancies in higher education and the decrease in the quality of the services provided. These developments result in a questionable educational panorama that justifies the urgent need to investigate the impacts of this process, the subjects involved, among other aspects. The methodological approach adopted is defined by the qualitative approach, adopting as procedures the bibliographic review and documentary analysis. The documents analyzed are: memoirs of meetings of a teaching union, annals of national events of educational sector entities, and reports of Parliamentary Inquiry Committees (CPIs) on higher education, as well as statements and balance sheets issued by companies to their shareholders and the financial market. The dissertation is structured in three chapters covering theoretical conceptual systematizations and results of the analyzes in order to meet the proposed objective / O tema sobre os caminhos percorridos pelo ensino superior e os sujeitos que o habitam, desperta debates no mundo inteiro envolvendo, dentre outras questões, projetos pedagógicos e de gestão. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo: analisar a atuação de grandes grupos educacionais no Ensino Superior Privado e suas repercussões e impactos na educação brasileira. O enfoque principal do estudo situase na histórica privatização do referido nível de ensino e a atual tendência da iniciativa privada, na formação de oligopólios, que controlam dezenas de instituições de ensino superior privado (IESP), o que repercute na realidade organizacional do processo de matrículas e de formação acadêmica. Esses grupos muitas vezes utilizam-se da força de seu capital financeiro para interferir em normatizações legais de diferentes naturezas. Cabe ressaltar que, em decorrência do processo de compra ou fusão institucionais, a dinâmica dos serviços educacionais ofertados sofrem modificações a nível de gestão e propostas curriculares. Nesse contexto caracterizado pela presença das empresas educacionais, observa-se a expansão exponencial de vagas no ensino superior e a queda na qualidade dos serviços prestados. Esses desdobramentos resultam em um panorama educacional questionável que justifica a necessidade urgente de investigação dos impactos desse processo, os sujeitos envolvidos, dentre outros aspectos. O percurso metodológico adotado define-se pela abordagem qualitativa, adotando-se como procedimentos a revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. Os documentos analisados constituem-se em: memórias de encontros de um sindicato da categoria docente, anais de eventos nacionais de entidades do setor educacional, e relatórios de Comissões de Inquérito Parlamentar (CPIs) sobre o ensino superior, além de comunicados e balanços emitidos por empresas educacionais a seus acionistas e ao mercado financeiro. A dissertação está estruturada em três capítulos abrangendo sistematizações teórico conceituais e resultados das análises em atendimento ao objetivo proposto

The hypothesis that the educator is one of the factors that can minimize the reflexes of massification and humanize this relationship between the student and the institution is a fundamental element for fulfilling the social function of private colleges. In order to reach the proposed objective, it is necessary to make historical considerations of legal education in Brazil and its influences on academic merchandise, for the trivialization of legal education and the marketing domain of private colleges. A marketing analysis test will be carried out based on the data available on public platforms such as INEP, considering the period from 1996 to 2016. From this analysis graphs are extracted to represent the growth of the academic market and to explore the socioeconomic factors that influenced this demand. It is also proposed as a specific objective to analyze the importance of technology as a new language and its consequences in the massification and quality of legal education. As a theoretical framework it is established that the democratization of legal education aims to make legal higher education accessible to all, however, as a result achieved requires an intellectual investment by the State, society and family, educator, educator and the awareness of private universities to promote the balance between profit making and the realization of the social function, as well as a restructuring in academic curricula to move away from dogmatic and approach humanization. Seeking to diminish the reflexes that are inherent in any and every perverse human massification. Regarding the questions of methodological bias, the use of the historical aspect, the deductive, hypothetical-deductive and dialectical method are emphasized. In the procedural field was used bibliographical and doctrinal research, legislative, documentary and research action. As for the approach will be used the qualitative technique / O propósito desta tese é enfrentar a seguinte problemática: “educação humanizada versus mercancia no ensino jurídico privado no Brasil”. Ao problema de tese formulado, levanta-se a hipótese – ao final confirmada – de que o educador é um dos fatores que pode minimizar os reflexos da massificação e humanizar essa relação entre o educando e a instituição, sendo elemento fundamental para cumprimento da função social das faculdades privadas. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, necessário se faz a realização de considerações históricas do ensino jurídico no Brasil e suas influências para a mercancia acadêmica, para a banalização do ensino jurídico e o domínio mercadológico das faculdades privadas. Far-se-á um ensaio de análise mercadológica com base nos dados disponíveis nas plataformas públicas tais como INEP, considerando o período de 1996 a 2016, dessa análise é extraído gráficos para representar o crescimento do mercado acadêmico e explorar os fatores socioeconômicos que influenciaram essa demanda. Propõe-se também como objetivo específico analisar a importância da tecnologia como nova linguagem e suas consequências na massificação e na qualidade do ensino jurídico. Como marco teórico se estabelece que a democratização do ensino jurídico tem como finalidade tornar o ensino superior jurídico acessível a todos, no entanto, como resultado alcançado requer um investimento intelectual, por parte do Estado, da sociedade e da família, no educador, no educando e na conscientização das universidades privadas para promover o equilíbrio entre os fins lucrativos e a concretização da função social, bem como uma reestruturação nos currículos acadêmicos para afastar a dogmática e aproximar a humanização. Buscando diminuir os reflexos que são inerentes a toda e qualquer perversa massificação humana. No tocante às questões do viés metodológico, ressaltam-se o uso da vertente histórica, o método dedutivo, hipotético-dedutivo e dialético. No campo procedimental utilizouse de pesquisa bibliográfica e doutrinária, legislativa, documental e pesquisa de campo. Quanto à abordagem será utilizada a técnica qualitativa

The impact of leadership practices on services quality in private higher education in South Africa

Van Schalkwyk, Riaan Dirkse 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to to investigate the impact of leadership practices on service quality in private higher education in South Africa as a source of competitive advantage. Higher education institutions and, more specifically, private higher education institutions, have faced increasing pressure on many fronts in recent years. These pressures include increased competition, lack of support from key constituencies, an increase in the size and diversity of the student population, dealing with changing technology, increased calls for accountability, a higher demand for quality by all the stakeholders involved, more responsibility for research and teaching and greater emphasis on efficient and effective management. The literature review for this study suggested that leadership impacts positively on quality and, equally important, on service quality. The academic leaders at these institutions have a tremendous influence on the quality of the education provided and the service rendered to the growing number of students. Using a quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional survey research design, this study was conducted on five campuses of a prominent private higher education provider across South Africa using two survey instruments. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) questionnaire was utilised to conduct the leadership survey while the SERVQUAL instrument was applied in the service quality survey. The campus principals of the five campuses and some of their selected subordinates completed the LPI survey. The SERVQUAL questionnaires were completed by 984 students from the five campuses. Correlation analysis was the major statistical tool used to analyse the data. The findings of the study indicated a strong positive linear correlation between the leadership practices of principals and service quality to students at these institutions. / Business Management / M.

Orachorn Arthabowornpisan 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe the development of Thailand's oldest private university, the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Bangkok, Thailand, from 1963 to 1987. This historical research used records and documents which are primary sources from the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Private Higher Education Institutions of Thailand together with interviews with the chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, president, faculty and staff of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. Secondary sources were reports and publications from the Ministry of University Affairs and libraries in Thailand. The areas of emphasis in the study were government policies on private higher education, legislation that initiated the founding of the University, the founder, the university's goals, the university's organizational structure, financial sources, admission policies, physical plants, programs, faculty and students. It was found that the Thai government encourages the establishment of private higher education institutions. The Private Higher Educational Institution Act of 1979 was enacted to allow Private universities to be equal to government universities. The university of the Thai Chamber of Commerce was founded by the Thai Chamber of Commerce with the purpose of training Thai students for the business sector and promoting the economic stability of the nation. The university's organizational structure is centralized and is self-supporting. The university strives for academic excellence, and thus supports the development of the nation. Suggestions for further study include: (a) the study of private higher education institutions which were established with all of the various fields of study in place, and (b) a study to identify factors that will contribute to the future development of the university of the Thai Chamber of Commerce and other private universities in Thailand.

許弘毅 Unknown Date (has links)
近年來私立大專院校的弊案層出不窮,引起社會大眾的高度重視,本研究即針對私立大專院校之財務結構現況與會計處理作探討。本研究採用財務項目組成要素與相關財務比率,進行財務結構現況分析,並透過規模大小、組織型態、系所類別與正常異常等劃分,作進一步的探討;另外,本研究探討我國目前對於私立大專院校財務報表編製之規定與會計理論相違之處,以提供改進之建議,並建立適當假設,針對折舊性固定資產提列折舊,檢視相關財務比率變動的情形。   研究結果發現,私立大專院校的收入來源,主要為其學雜費收入,其次為補助及捐贈收入。而經常性支出項目,主要為其教學研究及訓輔支出,其次為行政管理支出。資產組成結構係以固定資產比重最高,其次為流動資產及長期投資與基金;而折舊性資產佔總資產的比率約為50%。就整體而言,其流動性尚稱良好,負債比率約為14%;資產報酬率約為10%,權益報酬率約為11%;經常性支出佔總收入之比率約為70%。在本研究所建立之假設下,試提折舊發現變動程度較大的項目為當期餘絀佔總收入的比率與負債比率。且改編前後達顯著差異水準的有經常性支出及當期餘絀占總收入比率、固定資產比率、長期資金佔固定資產比率等。   本研究根據上述研究結果,建議私立大專院校的折舊性固定資產,應於使用期間內提列折舊,及私立大專院校的會計處理應儘量與我國一般公認會計原則一致,並儘速制定非營利組織適用之一般公認會計原則。 / Recently, the corruptions of private universities and colleges have emerged, and attract much concern from the public. This study evaluates the current financial structure of and the financial accounting standards for private universities and colleges. The current financial structure is evaluated by using percentage analysis and relevant financial ratio analysis. To explore this issue more in depth, the study discuss the financial structure based on the scales of size, the organization types, the operating natures, and normal-abnormal separation of private universities and colleges. Besides, this study compares the accounting standards of private universities and colleges with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and provides revise proposals. This study also establishes proper assumptions for private schools’ depreciable fixed assets and observes the effect of the change on the depreciation accounting on the financial ratios.   Empirical results show that tuition revenues are the primary income resources of private schools. The subsidies and donations occupy second big share. The expenditures of the instruction and the administration are the major items of the regular expenditures. Fixed assets have the biggest percentage of the total assets, and the current assets and long-term investments are the second and the third respectively; the depreciable assets are about 50% of the total assets; As a whole, the fluidity of the private schools is sound, and the debt ratio is about 14%; ROA is about 10%, and ROE is about 11%; regular expenditures are about 70% of total incomes. Under the assumptions of this study, we found that current surplus/ total incomes ratio and debt ratio are greatly affected, and regular expenditures/total incomes ratio, current surplus/total incomes ratio, fixed assets/total assets ratio, and long-term capital/fixed assets ratio are significantly different.   According to the results above, this study suggests that the depreciable fixed assets of the private universities and colleges be depreciated during the useful life, and the accounting standards be accordant with GAAP. Last but not the least, we should establish GAAP for the non-profit organizations as soon as possible.

Efficient Provision Of Educational Services And Public Versus Private Universities: The Case Of Turkey

Cahan, Ercument 01 August 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis studies the relative efficiencies of public and private universities in Turkish higher education system in producing human capital output for the economy in 1998-2002 period, by aiming at to propose a resource allocation policy for the realm of higher education to be pursued by the government. For this purpose, it develops a model which is built on the academic quality and per student expenditure variables of the public and private universities in producing human capital output, and calibrates it with Turkish higher education data. The results of the calibrated model have revealed that the resources devoted to higher education were allocated inefficiently between the public and private universities in Turkish higher education system in the above mentioned period. It is shown that the implementation of the government policy, which is proposed by study, helps the higher education market approach to Pareto optimum allocation of higher educational resources between public and private universities.

Restructuring of education, youth, and citizenship : an ethnographic study of private higher education in contemporary Singapore

Cheng, Yi'En January 2015 (has links)
In spite of widespread critiques about the neoliberalisation of higher education and its production of citizenship in relation to the market, transformation of students into profit-maximising individuals, and the vitalisation of a self-enterprising subjectivity, many of these claims remain under-examined with respect to cultural production. The objective of this research is to explore the neoliberal production of middle-class citizenship through the lens of educated non-elite local youth in Singapore. By combining geographical, sociological and anthropological insights about education and youth, I develop a theoretically informed ethnographic case study to examine how this segment of young people reproduce themselves as middle-class citizens. The research is based on eleven months of fieldwork at a local private institute of higher education, where I hanged around, talked to, and observed Singaporean young people between ages 18 and 25 studying for their first degree. The ethnographic materials are written up into four substantive papers, demonstrating the ways in which educated non-elite Singaporean youth in private higher education engage with state disseminated ideas around neoliberal accumulation and human capital formation. I argue that these students draw on class-based sensibilities and feelings to produce vibrant forms of normativities, subjectivities, and politics that pose a challenge to dominant assumptions of a "hollowed out" citizenship under neoliberalism. The research makes two overall interventions in geographic and social scientific writings about neoliberal restructuring of higher education and its implications for youth citizenship. First, it cautions against a straightforward claim that neoliberal technologies of control have extended market values into citizenship subjectivity and, with it, the erosion of progressive political projects. Second, it provides a much-needed analysis of middle-class citizenship formation among young people caught at the losing end of a diversifying educational landscape.

AS FUNÇÕES DOCENTES E O PERFIL INSTITUCIONAL DE PROFESSORES DAS UNIVERSIDADES PRIVADAS BRASILEIRAS: EM BUSCA DE INDICADORES DE QUALIDADE / Teacher s functions and the institutional profile of teachers from Brazilian private universities: searching for quality indicators.

Scremin, Greice 13 August 2009 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This study based upon teacher s functions indicators available at INEP/MEC database (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Anísio Teixeira of Ministério da Educação e Cultura) was developed according to research line 1 - Formation, knowledge and professional development - of the Post-Graduation Course in Education of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) and project Observatório da Educação. The main purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the institutional/teacher s profile of higher education teachers from private Brazilian universities, in order to establish consistent relationships between this profile analysis with the question of higher education quality proposed by the available educational literature. We agreed that the relevance of relating the expansion/massification of private teaching to the quality of higher education offered by private educational institutions became justifiable the implementation of this work. A quanti-/qualitative approach was chosen for this study, because of the distinction of stages or elements requiring the development and use of different methodological strategies for the data analysis; being then, based on documental analysis assumptions, or statistical procedures. Education quality was not discussed in its specificity; instead, we preferred discussing it on how is given the relationship among existent quality indicators upon the teacher s function perspective from Brazilian private education. By considering that the indicators systems have been one of the worldwide most important and used instruments for assessing the development, performance and the quality of national education systems, we have undertaken this research. It aimed to preserve the actions with positive results and to propose changes, when necessary, in quality evaluation scope of higher educational system. So, the quality indicators of Brazilian higher education can only evaluate the teacher s professional dimension, but not the personalities effectively involved, do not taking in account their subjectivity. These teacher s function indicators were restricted only to the kind of regime of work, level of formation, and gender and they did not take in consideration other constitutive elements of its own definition presented by the INEP. Therefore, indicators presented in its database can provide only a partial contribution about quality evaluation of teaching work. Furthermore, under interpretation of these indicators, we can assume they leave gaps on the understanding about what is and what is not validated in higher education. / Este estudo é um desdobramento do Projeto Observatório da Educação RIES e inserese na Linha de Pesquisa 1: Formação, saberes e desenvolvimento profissional do Programa da Pós-graduação em Educação da UFSM. O trabalho apresentado tem como propósito principal analisar o perfil institucional/docente de professores do ensino superior em universidades privadas brasileiras, a partir dos indicadores de função docente disponibilizados pela base de dados do INEP/MEC, estabelecendo relações pertinentes com a questão da qualidade da educação superior proposta pela bibliografia existente. Esta pesquisa justifica-se pela importância de relacionar a expansão/massificação do ensino privado com a qualidade da educação superior privada oferecida nestes estabelecimentos. A abordagem metodológica utilizada para a realização deste estudo foi quanti/qualitativa, considerando que a utilização dessa metodologia em diferentes etapas do estudo indica a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de diferentes estratégias para a análise dos dados, sejam elas assentadas em princípios de análise documental, seja em procedimentos estatísticos. Não discutimos especificamente a qualidade da educação, mas sim, estudamos como se dá a relação dos indicadores de qualidade existentes no aspecto das funções docentes da educação privada brasileira. Por considerarmos que os sistemas de indicadores têm sido um dos instrumentos mais importantes, utilizados em âmbito mundial para estudar e analisar o desenvolvimento, o desempenho e a qualidade dos sistemas nacionais de educação, é que desenvolvemos este estudo. Assim, esta pesquisa visou preservar as ações com resultados positivos e propor mudanças, quando necessárias, no âmbito da avaliação da qualidade dos sistemas de educação. Sendo assim, os indicadores de qualidade da educação superior brasileira podem avaliar a dimensão profissional docente, mas não as pessoas efetivamente envolvidas, tendo em vista a sua subjetividade. Dessa forma, os indicadores de função docente restringindo-se apenas ao Regime de trabalho, ao grau de formação e ao sexo, desconsiderando os demais elementos constitutivos da própria definição de funções docente apresentada pelo INEP. Portanto os indicadores apresentados na base de dados têm uma contribuição que é parcial sobre a avaliação da qualidade do trabalho do professor. Entendemos ainda que esses indicadores, quando interpretados deixam lacunas no entendimento sobre o que é válido em termos de avaliação da educação superior e o que não é.
