O objetivo foi descrever e analisar essa situação e propor Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) com ações direcionadas ao Grupo de Referência do ISE. Os recursos metodológicos utilizados foram: grupo focal realizado com gestores das escolas que compõem o Grupo de Referência do ISE da Escola Municipal Guimarães Rosa e entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com a equipe gestora e os professores da referida escola. Com essa perspectiva, realizou-se, inicialmente, a descrição da escola, das ações desenvolvidas pela equipe gestora (2007-2011) e os dados de desempenho nas avaliações externas (2009 a 2011). O segundo capítulo contempla o debate teórico sobre a influência do nível socioeconômico no desempenho escolar e a análise dos fatores de eficácia escolar, à luz dos autores Francisco Soares, Nigel Brooke, Heloísa Lück, Luiz Fernandes Dourados, Fabiana de Felício, Angela Albernaz, dentre outros. Com base na descrição e análise do caso é apresentado o Plano de Ação, para o 3º ciclo do Grupo de Referência do ISE, que propõe ações de formação para a gestão escolar e pedagógica, de reestruturação dos projetos e programas institucionais e de criação de um repositório digital de projetos para o 3º ciclo. As ações visam contribuir para minimizar os efeitos extraescolares causados pelo baixo índice socioeconômico no desempenho escolar dos alunos do ensino fundamental da RME-BH. / This dissertation is a case study of the Municipal School Guimarães Rosa, the Municipal Education Network Belo Horizonte, having low socioeconomic index and showed significant improvement in the performance of students in the 9th grade of elementary school in the subjects of portuguese language and mathematics in Avalia-BH, in the period 2009-2011, compared to schools that make up your Reference Group Socioeconomic Index. The objective was to describe and analyze the situation and propose a plan of educational action (PAE) with actions directed to the Reference Group of the ISE. The methodological tools used were focus group conducted with managers of schools that comprise the Reference Group of the Municipal School of ISE Guimarães Rosa and semi-structured interviews with the management team and teachers of that school. With this perspective, initially held up the description of the school, the actions developed by the management team (2007-2011) and performance data in external evaluations (2009-2011). The second chapter covers the theoretical debate on the influence of socioeconomic status on school performance and school effectiveness analysis of factors in the light of the authors Francisco Soares, Nigel Brooke, Heloise Lück, Luiz Fernandes Dourados, Fabiana de Felício, Angela Albernaz, among others. Based on the description and analysis of the case is presented an Action Plan aimed at the 3rd cycle of the reference group of ISE. The plan proposes actions aimed at the school training and educational management, restructuring projects and institutional programs and the creation of a digital library project for the 3rd cycle. The actions aim to contribute to extracurricular minimize effects caused by low socioeconomic index in the academic performance of elementary students of RME-BH.

The focus of this paper is second-generation immigrants and their labor market performance. With increased immigration from a more diverse ethnic background during the latest decades, it has become apparent that there is a difference between immigrant ethnic groups in labor market performance, in which some groups are more disadvantaged. Now more of these children have grown up, and research shows that the difficulties their parents had, affects the second generation. It is therefore of interest to understand what causes problems and generates opportunities for the second generation and try to understand the division between groups. One theory regarding the integration over generations and the differences between groups is segmented assimilation theory, proposed by Portes and Zhous (1993). According to this theory, both individual characteristics, and the context of immigrant lives are important. Starting with this theory, this paper looks deeper into individual characteristics and context, with special attention towards the implication of the context and the labor market. The thesis does this by testing if “local context,” a concept by Ellis & Almgren (2009) branched to understand the local geographical dimension at a smaller scale than national matter, in the shape of regions. The focus toward context and labor market is due to a small degree of research that attempts to explain how well the second-generation succeeds, depending on the labor market. The method for this is quantitative and builds on comparisons between regressions. A measurement called International Socioeconomic Index (ISEI) is used to explain the impact of the differences between ethnic groups. First are ordinary least square regressions with only ethnic groups, individual characteristics and no spatial aspect compared to a multilevel model based on labor market regions. Further are the spatial characteristics (whether a region is a big city or not), and the degree to which a region is knowledge-based. These factors are added in a multilevel regression to see if these spatial aspects can explain what it is about the regions that have an impact. The result shows a difference between both ethnic groups and regions, and that regions do explain some of the difference between the ethnic groups. The data also show that some non-European groups have higher status occupation than previous research has indicated. Other factors affecting immigrant groups are whether they live in a big city region or not, and how knowledge-based a region is, there it is an advantage living in regions with these factors. However, there is still an unexplained difference between ethnic groups, due to unknown factors. The result are also influenced of sample selection, it is therefore important to be aware that this result only show people with occupation and not labor market performance overall, as unemployment is not taken into account.

This thesis studies the influence of ethnicity, nationality, and occupation upon military selection of the residents of Ohio during the First World War. This is a quantitative study, based on a data set constructed from samples of the 1910 and 1920 censuses and The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the World War, 1917-1918. Chapter I introduces the sources and the methodology. Chapter II examines the ethnicity of conscripts, and whether or not ethnic identities affected draft registration or military selection. Chapter III examines the numerical significance of resident aliens in the military population. Chapter IV examines the influence of social class on conscription: determining whether persons of wealth avoided military service and the influence of occupational deferments on the population at risk. Chapter V concludes the thesis by summarizing the results.
